Bridgestone shows new ologic tyre in Geneva
Bridgestone stand in Geneva offered visitors a close-up view of the revolutionary Ecopia EP500 ologic tyre, a product it exclusively supplies for the BMW i3 electric car. Bridgestone’s ologic technology, first applied with BMW, capitalizes on the synergies of a large tyre diameter and narrow tread design to provide aerodynamics and rolling resistance efficiencies. Bridgestone also displayed its latest generation of Run-Flat Technology tyres.
In addition, products such as the flagship Potenza S001 sports tyre for high-performance cars, Turanza T001 touring tyre, Dueler H/P Sport, the energy-efficient Ecopia EP150, and the latest winter specialist, Blizzak LM001 were also on-stand.

On display in Geneva are the sporty Firestone Destination HP for SUVs and Firestone Multiseason tyre, Europe’s new all-year-round performer. This firm also announced the new Firestone Music Tour – a network of festivals sponsored by Firestone!
