The Bridgestone Ecopia HL 422 Plus is a standard performance SUV and crossover tyre engineered for drivers of higher-load platforms who prioritise fuel efficiency, long tread life, and confident all-round performance across urban and highway driving environments. The HL designation reflects the tyre's higher load capacity, making it suited to the greater vehicle weights of larger SUVs and crossovers that demand a tyre capable of managing increased platform loads without compromising handling or wear behaviour. Bridgestone's low rolling resistance compound technology reduces energy loss during tyre flexion under load, delivering measurable fuel savings over the tyre's service life while maintaining competitive wet and dry braking performance. The tread pattern incorporates wide circumferential grooves and a lateral sipe network to manage water evacuation and maintain wet grip on sealed roads in rain. The Ecopia HL 422 Plus is Bridgestone's efficient, responsible everyday tyre for drivers of larger SUVs and crossovers who will not trade safety or comfort for efficiency.
Best for:
Not intended for: Off-road or all terrain use, aggressive performance driving, or applications where maximum lateral grip is the primary requirement.
Higher load rated construction: Engineered to manage the increased platform weights of larger SUVs and crossovers safely across everyday driving conditions. Ensures consistent handling behaviour and tread wear performance even under the higher loads these vehicles generate.
Low rolling resistance compound technology: Minimises energy loss during tyre flexion under the higher loads of larger SUV platforms. Delivers measurable fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions for drivers covering significant annual mileages in larger crossovers and SUVs.
Wide circumferential grooves with lateral sipe network: Channel water away from the contact patch and generate additional biting edges on damp road surfaces. Maintain reliable wet braking performance and aquaplaning resistance for heavier SUV platforms on rain-affected roads.
Long-life tread compound formulation: Balances rolling resistance efficiency with wear resistance under the sustained loads and higher contact pressures generated by larger SUV and crossover platforms. Delivers extended tread life and lower total cost of ownership over the tyre's service life.
Ecopia eco-efficiency design: Developed as part of Bridgestone's Ecopia range, prioritising reduced environmental impact through lower rolling resistance and longer tread life. Allows eco-conscious SUV drivers to reduce their vehicle's fuel consumption and tyre-related environmental footprint.
