The Tire Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tire scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Questions and Answers for the Bridgestone Ecopia EP300

Ask a question
April 1, 2024

My toyota corolla had used the Ecopia EP150, one of them needs to be replaced. Just wonder can I use the Ecopia EP300 which is recommended that they are compatible, and EP300 is new, better and cheaper choice. Any comments about the compatibility, as my friends told me that it is better to use the same tire as a pair of shoes.

Unfortunately we have no experience with the EP150 OR 300, however it is always recommended to replace tires in axle pairs and fitting new EP300 on the rear axle and the older EP150s on the front axle would be an acceptable solution.

Given 76% while driving a Toyota Camry (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
It is a very decent tire with durable tread. I've driven at high speeds up to 190kph for extended periods of time and it performed really well, however in the rain on motorway with old tarmac there aren't much grip. It is extremely durable, did a 13000km trip and treadwear was not noticeable, now at 40000km there are still a good amount of tread left, at about 40%. Very comfortable, not noisy at all compared to more budget brand tires on my other car.

These are good tires. Love them over the Dunlop LM705's that I had earlier on my Corolla. These drive well in both dry and wet and excellent grip on bendy roads. Comfort is good too for the first 5,000 miles. Definitely recommended.

Dry in 160kmh is good
Wet in 130kmh is good as well
Handling not bad, but previously with toyo proxes did provide me better handling

Initial Impressions Review
Given 67% while driving a Proton (195/55 R15) on mostly country roads for 15,000 average miles
After about 15,000 miles and 3 years of use, I’d say this tire is decent but not amazing. Dry grip is okay, though you can get some wheelspin if you’re a bit heavy on the throttle. Wet grip wasn’t great even when new, and after 15k miles it’s definitely worse, so that’s something to be careful about. Road noise and comfort are fine, nothing to complain about there. The biggest plus is the wear rate. I honestly didn’t expect it to last this long. Overall, it’s alright for daily use, but not the tire I’d pick if wet grip is a priority.

Given 61% while driving a Mazda 6 Series (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
Tires are suitable for family sedan duties. Grip well enough in the wet and dry. The tires have a bit of bouncy / floaty feeling due to the soft sidewalls but it's not a dealbraker. Low rolling resistance as advertised as I can feel the car effortlessly coast along when I lift off the throttle.
They generate a bit more noise than I would like so I will be trying a different set of tires when it comes time to replace them as the design is a bit old now (2025) with newer options from Bridgestone and other manufacturers on the market. Tread life approximately 50 000 km.
Previous tires were maxxis Hp5 which performed simlarly excluding the low rolling resisistance.

Given 87% while driving a Honda City (185/55 R16) on mostly town for 62,700 average miles
I've just changed my tires to this brand, so I'm kinda new with these tires. However, I can say after a few weeks with this tires... it is much better than previous tires that I used. The tire brand previously was Toyo (can't remember which model), it was ok... slightly rough, kinda loud road noise. Went to this tire service centre, told them my budget... show them my car. In an instant the owner knew which tire was perfect for me... at first I thought he was joking with the price, it is more cheaper that Toyo... and handling was far far better, smoother (bare in mind, its the raining reason so the road is always wet & slippery) and also quieter (I know... new tires, of course its quieter). But for Bridgestone to give these kind of quality with this price point. I say yes, I would definitely recommend to others

Just changed my tires to these and now the car drives like a new car. A hugh improvement. The drive is very smooth, they grip the road and the stopping is great. So, so far after around two thousand kilometres it has been great.

Given 77% while driving a Toyota Corolla Altis (215/55 R16) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
I have only driven it for a couple of thousand kilometers yet but they are of low road noise, comfort is good, was on advan db 552 before and these are much much better especially in wet conditions, advan db 552 used to aquaplan, these don't, handles wet conditions well.

Given 86% while driving a Holden VF Evoke 3.0L (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 80,000 average miles
Great Tires. Handle and Brake very well in both Wet and Dry Conditions. Lasted Over 120,000kms on one set (and still going but will need replacing soon). I changed from Bridgestone RE003 for fuel saving reasons. I noticed a 2L - 3L per 100km/s imrovement in Highway driving, but only a very small improvement in city driving. Tires are quieter then the RE003's. The feedback from the tires is good, i feel a good amount of feedback through the steering wheel, but its just enough, not to over the top. Less feedback then the RE003, but i find that to be an advantage as get older and dont drive as fast. I have not noticed any disadvantge in performance handling having these instead of the RE003's and they have already lasted twice as long as my RE003's. I will be using these well into the furture and would recomend to everyone. I could not be more happy with the lifespan of these tires. I got them from a Brigstone Store and used the road hazzard warranty and got a free replacement due to stick through a sidewall.

Given 83% while driving a Mitsubishi Colt (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I had a blast with these tires. Lasted 3 years with semi aggressive driving. Dry performance is great, wet its dependable.. I'm using Proton Satria MMC 1.6cc its a light car. Yeah it is noisy but not like roaring sound. Braking is good. Fuel economy is excellent. Would definitely recommend others to buy at this price point. I am very satisfied with it overall. But bear in mind, when its worn out, dry grip is still good, wet is bad so take caution. Braking is bad too hahaha i mean it's worn out what do you expect. For the budget I would definitely buy again.

serena c26 fitted ep150 originally, but they are terrible, i changed egp. after 4 years, i preferred to fit with the original fitting 195/60-16, egp do not have this. yokohama e32 no stock yet, go for the ep300 then. it is much much better than ep150, quite/ comfort/ good handling compared with ep150. wet & dry grip are acceptable, but fuel efficiiency--- even not as good as egp 205/55-16.
