Here is my honest rewiew of Bridgestone Ecopia EP300.
At May 2018,I bought a "Malaysian Most Powerfull Car" which is New MYVI ,
My myvi spec was 1.3G Auto Kosong Spec ,
The manufacture give the tire spec 1.3 G&X are
Bridgestone Ecopia Ep150 175/65 R14 82H,Rim spec was 2nd generation myvi normal rim 5Jx14 ET40 4x100
It's good for city drive because can get best fuel efficiency and low cost(if change same size R14 tyre)
for me , i not just city driving , sometime use highway for my outstation work and carry some product put on my car ,
i used ep150 within 1 week it's fuel efficiency but not good for me, highway due i speeding 120-140km/h, i feeling the tyre are "flying",
if got big vehicle overtake me i will feel the wind pushing me to the left,i got once nearly crash to the motorist..very dangerous..
So i talk to my friend AhQuan he work on tire shop,i talked that story to AhQuan,he suggest me upsize to R15 due my safety purpose.
he suggest me to trade in originial tire+rim and buy new set rim and 4 of the bridgestone ep300(Rm175 include install,alignment,balancing,rotation) so i accept it.
So i upsize from Bridgestone Ecopia Ep150 175/65 R14 82H to Bridgestone Ecopia Ep300 195/55 R15 85V (the new rim spec i forgot liao)
After used 1year 7 month carefully tke care the tire,my mileage was 32000km,
every 10000km i will do tire front-back exchange+alignment+balancing rotation,here is the pros and cons
Pros:
Fuel Efficiency,i was surprised of my best result;Ron95 BHP 31L runs 575km,18.55km/100L 5.39L/100km base on 60% city drive 40% highway.
Great Grip,dry condition i tested on 80km/h on a sharp corner no issue.(be aware when speeding doing "action driving",kid's don't try )
wet condition i won't do "action driving",so far for me didn't slip,great brake response
Brake Response,Great,emergency brake to avoid suddenly accident infront of me,i immediately stop the car at side of rode to check my car situation,
got badly smell and some smoke out from the brake pad there. this 3rd gen myvi original perodua brake are not good
compare to 2nd gen myvi perodua ori brake.
Tread Life:after 30k km still got 55%! tire sifu told me can use up to in 40k-50k.(maybe i take good care of tire?)
Ride Comfort&Tire Noise:before 15k km mileage,for me it's quite quiet and comfort
Price: RM165 per unit(due last time promotion pakage price),affordable range eco tire!
Cons:
After 30k mileage,i can barely feel the performance are dreceasing,still no issue
the comfort & noise are leaving from me
fuel efficiency are back to normal.(31L 360km 12km/L 8.33L/100km)
after the tire tread wear was done, i would take same EP300 for sure (if still on sale)
i would recommend this tire~
TQ to see my first post and my opinion,just a suggestion base on my exprience please consider whenever would u like to purchase.
