Bridgestone Ecopia HL 422 Plus-noisy!

[DaveSwan]

They came on my 2023 Escape and now, with 20k miles have gotten noisy! Anyone else?

Check alignment, tire pressure and wheel balance

They are horrible tires. They were OE tires on our 2019 Tiguan. The dry traction was bad. Driving in the rain was dangerous. I was so glad when they were gone.

they are atrocious tires. i had them on my 2021 Mazda 3 sedan turbo as stock tires and replaced them right away with Michelin pilot sport all season 4. they were slippery on dry paved road during warm sunny day. very mediocre tires.

They are literal trash. Ours lasted 22k on the CR-V. Got Defenders after that. Those lasted until 75k when I got CC2s.

Word of Caution: OE tires - the ones that come on new cars from the assembly plant - are built to the car manufacturer's specs and as such none of them are the same - even if they have the same exact name. The tire that came on the Escape is different than the tire that came on the Mazda 3.

So, the tires that came on our Tiguan was different from the tires on the Escape and Mazda 3? The sizes were different, that's for sure. They are low rolling resistant tires (green). LRR tires generally sacrifice other qualities in order to achieve a slight increase in fuel mileage. The Michelin Energy is another tire that falls short in overall performance. I'm sure that there are other LRR tires that give similar performance results.
By the way, the OE Michelin LTX M/S2 on my F-150 have been stellar. 52,000 miles and 6/32" tread still left.

Not surprised the factory tires were junk.

Factory tires are often junk but I still read way too much negative feedback about even Bridgestone replacements. For a tier 1 tire company, they seem to have a lot of misses in recent years.

I haven’t even given them a thought since like 2006 when I had BFGs on my truck and got rid of the truck. Nothing in their lineup is that good except maybe the new KO3. But even then, meh.

OE tire on the Dodge Durango, replaced them around 64,000 miles. Wear was even due to monthly pressure checks and 5-6k rotations. They are designed to be fuel efficient that’s about it.

They were replaced with a Michelin’s that are still in good shape with 85k on them currently but will need replacing in the fall/winter time frame.
