Bridgestone launches Ecopia drive tire

The EPA SmartWay verified and CARB compliant Bridgestone M760 Ecopia drive radial is the newest addition to the Ecopia tire line from Bridgestone Commercial Solutions.

The EPA SmartWay verified and CARB compliant Bridgestone M760 Ecopia drive radial is the newest addition to the Ecopia tire line from Bridgestone Commercial Solutions. The M760 Ecopia tire features the manufacturer’s IntelliShape sidewall design that helps reduce overall tire weight. Other features include an optimized groove width helps combat casing damage and improve drilling resistance, as well as multiple sipes to improve wet and dry traction, along with extra-wide tread for added stability, the tire maker said.

“The new M760 Ecopia answers a commercial customer’s need for a fuel-efficient tire that offers longer wear, as well as superior traction and casing durability,” said Bert Jones, manager of product marketing, TBR, Retread and OTR for Bridgestone Commercial Solutions. “Typically in this application, you sacrifice fuel economy for traction. With the M760 Ecopia, fleets don’t have to choose one feature over the other.”

The M760 Ecopia comes in four sizes. The 295/75R22.5 is now available, while remaining sizes (285/75R24.5, 11R22.5, 11R24.5) will be launched in 2014.
