Bridgestone’s trailer tire

Bridgestone’s R123 Ecopia trailer tire is engineered for low rolling resistance and added wear in long-haul and regional applications. The SmartWay-verified retreadable tire features the company’s IntelliShape sidewall that reduces weight and minimizes rolling resistance, while its patented NanoPro-Tech polymer technology limits energy loss and improves fuel economy. A fuel-efficient tread design helps lower rolling resistance and improve fuel economy, while the tread’s pattern is designed to increase traction and grip on wet roads while absorbing the tread’s edge stress to promote long, even wear. An optimized tread volume facilitates longer removal mileage, while a specialized defense groove structure helps establish even pressure along the shoulder while minimizing tread edge wear.
