Technical information
Focus: Eco-standard
The middle ground between economy and an ordinary tyre — Bridgestone EP25 sits exactly here. The manufacturer aims to keep fuel consumption low without paying for it with the weaker wet behaviour typical of purely economical models. In practice it is a tyre for drivers who cover a lot of kilometres and do not want to give up much safety along the way.

What owners say
The tire behaved great for what it is and stayed largely consistent for most of its life.
The standout thing that I'd like to raise some awareness about was how much and how quickly it degraded during the fifth year of its life (the last 4-5k miles of its ~27k mile life) and while still having plenty of tread on it. It was apparent under a few specific recurring circumstances, out of which the most obvious and most common was on tight horseshoe turns. If the front tires were loaded due to braking (just slight amounts of braking, consider that one enters the turn under brakes and gradually lifts so that they are fully released potentially before hitting the apex) they were eager to lose traction and slide outwards when nearing the apex. We are talking about just slight amounts of skidding that required no corrections from the driver. They were essentially just enough to affect your confidence in the car. Still, it was something that started happening relatively suddenly and consistently and we became aware of it both during trips & travels and on familiar corners on known roads where we had been taking the car for years and years.
Other than that most other characteristics remained relatively consistent till the end. That is their noise, their general braking performance (though, luckily, I didn't have the "opportunity" to do much emergency braking), their behavior under high speed turns, their traction under first gear acceleration (say uphill stop and go, or with a heavy foot off a green light).
Lastly, I didn't feel too comfortable riding them in heavy rain lately, but that was a rare enough occurrence that I don't have enough experience to express an informed opinion on.
When I retired it it still had plenty of tread on it so I assume most of the degradation in performance was probably caused by the rubber aging.
extremely danger in wet even you drive at speed 40kM/H
OEM summer tyres. I drove them for 20000miles or 37000km. Dry grip and handling was good, even now when they have 5< mm of rubber left on them. Wet grip and handling was good but not perfect. In the city they were safe on wet, but on the open road and higher speeds than 70kmh very unsafe and extremly laud. Straight aqua was better even when driving above 120kmh.
Wear was ok, but i wouldnt recommend them for any other driver except those who drive only in the city.
I am changing them now for Dunlop Sport Bluresponse.
These tyres are OEM on the car, with Treadwear 200 Temperature B Traction B
and EU labelling C for economy, B for wet braking and 70db.
Taking into account that the tire is an enviromentally friendly tire and not a sports one, here is what I think:
Dry braking is really good with no surprises whatsoever. I had an emergency braking because of a wild hog crossing the road and the tire outperformed the traction of the tarmac and the weather conditions, meaning you could tell it could have decelerated more without losing grip had the asphalt been completely dry and more rough.
Handling is also very good, despite the softness of the tire. This softness is present only in cornering at a high speed, so for normal driving and everyday use the tires are perfectly fine.
Feedback is also very good, you get on the wheel what you see on the road, so happy there, too.
On wet grip, I disagree with other people claiming the tire sucks. Yeah, it sucks if you think you're riding on a UHP tire. Keep in mind it's not a performance tire, with a Traction B rating, so prudence and reservation are mandatory on wet public roads where indifference, incompetence, arrogance and pure stupidity are also present.
Having said that, I think the Ecopia EP25 holds no surprises for the knowledgeable driver. Driving on the wet 20-30km/h less than on dry roads will give you the same results as in the dry.
Wet braking is mediocre at best at lower speeds (up to 80km/h) with the ABS engaging a bit more than I expected. This is the first reason I will not choose them again or recommend them, as well as the wear rate.
On the other hand, straight aqua is surprisingly good, even at 2cm of water, cutting through water ponds easily.
Wear is fast for these tyres. In 15.000km of 95% motorway use they have got down to 6,1mm of tread, which is a bad result for me, being an old Michelin user. In comparison, Michelin Energy Saver+ started at 7,2mm losing 0,5mm of tread every 10.000km on the same conditions (mind you, the Michelins are Treadwear 400).
Noise is annoying. Only on newly-paved surfaces will there be silence in the cabin; otherwise, get ready for a continuous roar or get a pair of ear-plugs.
All in all, I would choose my Michelin Saver+ over the Ecopia25 time and again, simply because they are better.
Absolutely useless. Only lasted 8,495 miles compared with previous Dunlop's 40,600. Soft as butter
