Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus All Season 215/50R17 95V XL Passenger Tire

These were recommended by our local tire shop as replacements for the aging original equipment tire on our Subaru Outback. When I drove out of the shop and onto the city streets it was immediately apparent what a difference a set of tires can make. The roads here in Northern Wisconsin are frightful and most people will buy a full sized pickup for no other reason than larger rolling circumference. But these tires seem to wrap around the lumps and cracks and secure the intended trajectory of my steering. The tires are very quiet, have great traction in snow and on a salt slush covered highway, they calm everything down. An exceptional tire in my humble opinion.

I'm running this tire on my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage 5-speed (the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car sold in the US). This car came new with tiny 14" wheels/tires...but I upgraded to lightweight 15" wheels and EP422 Plus tires. People expected my fuel mileage to suffer, but I have AVERAGED 51+ mpg in this car for over 50,000 miles using these tires!!! My car is properly aligned, I rotate the tires every 5,000 miles, and I drive conservatively. After 50,000 miles, I am showing 6/32" of tread on all 4 tires. These tires will have no problem making it to 70,000 miles and beyond. I'm VERY SATISFIED with these tires and will be replacing them with new Ecopias when these wear out...which will be around 80,000-90,000 miles the way they are going!!!
