Description

• 295/80R22.5: This indicates the tire size. Here’s a breakdown of the specifics:
  • 295: The width of the tire section in millimeters (mm).
  • 80: The aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (80% in this case).
  • R: Indicates a radial tire construction.
  • 22.5: The rim diameter in inches.
• 154/149M: This represents the load rating of the tire. The load rating indicates the maximum weight that the tire can carry at a specific inflation pressure. In this case, 154 indicates the load capacity at higher speeds, and 149 refers to the load capacity at lower speeds. Here’s a breakdown of the weight limits:
  • 154: Up to 154 kg (339,500 lbs)
  • 149: Up to 149 kg (328,500 lbs)
• M: This indicates the speed rating of the tire. M refers to a maximum speed of 81 mph (130 km/h).
• TL: Means the tire is tubeless, relying on an airtight seal between the tire and the rim to hold air, instead of an inner tube.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tire has been tested and certified to provide improved traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires that don’t have this symbol.

Features and Benefits (based on information found online):

• Durability and long tread life: The tread pattern of the Bridgestone Ecopia H-Steer 002 appears to have a deep lug design, suggesting it’s designed for extended service life on steer axles [1, 2, 3]. This tread pattern design can help to reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• Fuel efficiency: The Bridgestone Ecopia H-Steer 002 is designed with a focus on fuel efficiency [1, 2, 3]. The tread pattern design and Bridgestone NanoPro-Tech compound are said to work together to reduce rolling resistance, which can contribute to improved fuel economy for trucks.
• All-season traction with winter performance: The 3PMSF marking on the tire indicates that it has sufficient tread design for all-season performance, including light winter snow and ice conditions [2, 3]. However, it is likely not suitable for severe snow conditions.
• Improved handling and stability: The tread pattern design of the Bridgestone Ecopia H-Steer 002 is specifically optimized to improve handling and stability for steer axles [1, 3]. Steer axles are the front axles of a truck that are responsible for directional control.
• Low noise emission: The Bridgestone Ecopia H-Steer 002 is designed with a focus on low noise emission [1]. This can provide a more comfortable driving experience and potentially reduce noise pollution.

Overall, the 295/80R22.5 Bridgestone Ecopia H-Steer 002 154/149M TL 3PMSF appears to be a good choice for steer axles on regional haul trucks. It offers durability, long tread life, improved fuel efficiency, good performance in all-weather conditions including light winter snow, improved handling and stability, and low noise emission.
