The Bridgestone R197 Ecopia is a commercial vehicle tire designed for highway terrains and all-season use. Its tread pattern and durable tire compound work together to prolong its lifespan. The tire's stress-relief ribbed siping pattern and defense groove structure reduce tread wear, resulting in even tread formations and improved removal mileage. Additionally, the tire's construction, tread design, and compound contribute to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. The symmetric ribbed tread design with shallow tread depth evenly distributes driving pressure and resists tread flexing, while the NanoPro-Tech compound minimizes energy loss and rolling resistance. This construction also maintains optimal tire shape and decreases driving pressure. As a result, the R197 Ecopia provides excellent all-weather traction, with increased grip on dry, wet, and winter road surfaces. The siping pattern and ribbed design enhance road contact, while the durable compound enhances rubber flexibility in various conditions. The tire's circumferential grooves and cross-rib sipes prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from under the tire, improving performance in wet and winter weather.
