OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 Ecopia is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The tire's special compound and tread pattern help improve its all weather traction. The special compound and the detailed tread pattern work together to enhance the road grip in dry, wet and winter conditions. The tire's wide tread grooves enhance its wet and winter traction and effectively prevent hydroplaning by channeling water and slush from below the tire's footprint. This exceptional traction and road gripping ability help increase the driving safety levels in all road conditions.
The model was manufactured using Bridgestone's Ecopia technology. This technology combines the tread design, the tire compound and the internal structure to decrease the tire's weight and improve its traction. The better road grip eases the driving pressure off the tire, which significantly decreases the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the tire which determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. This reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel efficient performance.
The new and improved tread pattern lowers the possibility of irregular wear, extending the tire's usability. This is made possible with the tread's maintained contact with the road surface and its equally spread out the driving force. The even pressure distribution provides balanced tread wear throughout the tire's life. The internal steel belt structure also enhances the tread, as it makes the tire resistant to accidental punctures and damage. The even wear on the tire and its puncture resistance extend the tread's life.
The steel belt structure manages to improve the tire's driving durability. It maintains the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting the model. This optimizes the special, rounder tire shape to increase the driving balance in all weather, improving the tire's performance. The driver's control over the model was also improved by maintaining the tire's road contact at all times. The contemporary tread design offers precise steering responsiveness, and the tire responds swiftly and accurately to the driver's commands.
The Turanza EL400-02 Ecopia offers a quiet driving experience. The 5 degree noise reduction system lowers the road noise by cancelling out the sound waves generated by the tire while driving. This prevents the road and tread pattern noise from reaching the vehicle's cabin and disturbing the driving comfort of the passengers. As a result, the tire ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
