The Greatec M703 Ecopia ultra-wide base tire has been unveiled by Bridgestone, designed for application to long-haul and regional commercial vehicles.
A replacement for the outgoing Greatec M835A Ecopia, the Greatec M703 Ecopia has been designed by Bridgestone with a high-density, ultra-wide tread pattern and a long-wearing compound to provide high mileage over its service life. Service life can be extended as the tire’s casing has been engineered with Bridgestone’s waved belt technology and turn in ply design.
The M703 Ecopia is stated to have a wear mileage 30% better than the previous tire and a 14% lower rolling resistance which provides enhanced fuel efficiency. Grip is delivered by long-lasting biting edges and Bridgestone’s Enliten technology further enhances rolling resistance.
“Bridgestone’s line of Ecopia products continues to improve with each new tire, and the Greatec M703 is the latest example of our team’s ability to create a tire that directly addresses the needs of our customers,” said Brian Cunningham, vice president, fleet solutions, Bridgestone Americas.
“With the M703, fleets can expect to see improved fuel efficiency and tire wear, which can help lower their total cost of ownership and help businesses improve their bottom line.”
The Greatec M703 Ecopia is available in a size 445/50R22.5.
