Bridgestone Ecopia EP001S summer tyres were engineered for the BMW i3. Creating the BMW i3 meant designing an electric car around sustainability, so Bridgestone developed the Ecopia EP001S summer tyres around BMW’s need for optimally efficient travel on a single charge. Bridgestone’s ologic technology reduces both rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag with a high, narrow tapered tyre, meaning this technology pairs a large tyre with a small width. Tyres made with Bridgestone’s ologic technology often come standard with 19-inch wheels, such as the electric BMW i3.
The BMW i3’s front tyres and rear tyres also come in different widths, and the Ecopia EP001S size code will identify which axle position the tyre should be mounted on. Some tyres also have the sidewall marking “BMW i3,” meaning they were made standard for that original equipment. If the tyre being replaced has that marking, it is recommended to replace it with the same. Tyres.co.uk sells the Bridgestone Ecopia EP001S.
