Therefore, the polygons like Land Rover Experience under Dmitrov are archival and archived.
There are also the future owners of Land Rover cars who can experience the whole "depth of our depths" and, of course, to be happy for themselves. Several tracks of different levels of complexity, experienced and (which is especially important) patient instructors, a whole fleet for every taste - and the day live is not in vain.
Yes, the polygon itself is no longer news. But we decided to combine a pleasant with helpful: restore some avoiding road skills and rolling down the backs of Bridgestone. This season, Japanese shinniki immediately presented three surprise for fans of a full drive: a new generation of ECOPIA EP 850 economy tires and two versions of the popular Dueler line - off-road A / T 697 and more universal, designed for premium H / P Sport users.
ECOPIA - Low-resistance tires line and increased wear resistance. These tires themselves are not a revelation: there are similar offers and competitors. But this year the Japanese committed a double breakthrough: offered dimension for popular crossovers and, especially important, thoroughly worked on a decrease in the braking path. Now we can safely say that such tires will not only save fuel (according to representatives of Bridgestone, it is achieved up to 4% of savings), but also inhibit on dry and wet coating no worse than the rest. So, compared with the universal model Dueler H / L 683, the brake path of the new Ecopia EP850 from a speed of 80 km / h on a wet coating was reduced from 31.4 to 30.1 meters. In addition, specifically for the sake of elementary crossovers in the development of new tires paid special attention to a decrease in noise level. True, it was not possible to make sure that everyone did not work in his own experience: Discovery 4, "shoes" in Ecopia tires, went to a part of the track, where there were no traffic sites. But the fact that these tires are really quiet and well cling to asphalt and concrete, it was easy to make sure the descents and rises of varying degrees of steepness.
But much more gateway was ahead: slalom on gravel road at Range Rover with a mighty 4.4-liter turbodiesel. As far as the dynamic car, I think, do not tell. And just for him and similar powerful SUVs this year, Bridgestone offers a Dueler H / P Sport line with an asymmetrical pattern of tread. 1 100 meters of turns of varying degrees of complexity and half an hour. How not to "hang out"? 339 hp, 750 nm, four-wheel drive and ... no, not valves. To begin with - a slow circle under the guidance of the instructor. On the "straight" add gas and brake, all turns - either under equal gas, or for a discharge. Steering wheel right - gas. Do not brake in turns. The machine itself will choose the mode of movement, the electronics will force, and the tires will be cling to solid coverage areas until the last moment.
Many will say that, they say, ride a landfill, where the track is calculated and is integrated under a particular car, uninteresting. And they will be categorically wrong. 15 circles flew like one. The main thing is not to slow down in turns and feel the grip threshold - the moment of breaking the wheels from the trajectory is perfectly felt on the steering wheel. And then we can wear so that dust will not have time to settle from the previous circle. As instructors assure, even in such a barbaric mode of the tires, they have never been summed up: the duler H / P Sport strength is very high.
Well, finally, left the forest trial track, which only defender passes. This device deserves respect only for the fact that even with a manual box to control it easier. We include a downgrain, block the rear differential, turn on the first transmission, release the clutch - and def creeps. Through the shrub, over the overturned logs, on the half-meter rut ... The devoid of 50 cm deep one? No problem. Ditch? Yes please. And in all this car, special Dueler A / T 697 tires with powerful side grounds, a deep protector, a powerful rim structure - all that is needed for serious off-road adventures. But, oddly enough, many buyers love them not for it, but for ... White beaks on the edging and a formidable look. The Japanese promise that the driver of the SUV, "wound" in Dueler A / T 697, will not feel flawed. About "Kay, let's believe for word. But as soon as the opportunity to compare with competitors, we will definitely do it.

Comment: Round season 1 on Pradik in Moscow. After the winter on Bridgestone Blizzak Dm-V2, some reducing noise did not feel. That Velcro was so quiet, or these are noisy. Everything else is some advantages. You can take!)
Eduardovich Arshak, Ecopia Slightly noiser Blizzak DM-V2, he himself goes on such such pluses, low wear and chain!
Good model
Experience: less than a month
Advantages: Good highway tire, moderately soft compared to the standard Dueler. Noise for me so within the normal range, given that there is no shumka car from the manufacturer.Disadvantages: Sticks a lot of stones in the protective. Price.
Comment: The price last year was 1000-1500 rubles. Less is the main disappointment. The dollar like fell and the price rose. Those. It was second-owned, and now in another price category.
HORRIBLE FIGURE OF USE: More than a year
Advantages: The sizeDisadvantages: Everything
Comment: He wrote here a review of Eco's 850, but he was not published. By the way, many of my real reviews do not publish, mostly enthusiastic. Renault Duster car. Traveled in summer on a regular amtel. I wanted to buy something highway to drive quickly on the highway, I do not go to dirt. I purchased these tires reading feedback, and the price is suitable. But when I drove along the highway, I did not understand first. First, the car did not accelerate on them, as if lipla to asphalt. Further noise, or rather howl was always on any coating, and where the Amtel is quiet, these are low. Consumption on the contrary rose liter by 1.5. The junctions can go quiet, but I did not understand it. One thing only in the plus, in contrast to the amtel, is the absence of aquaplaning. And for me in the summer it is important, because the rains are not uncommon. My advice, do not believe the reviews. Take famous brands Rubber Continental Contact Contact. Having traveled on it for two years, the tire began to make noise even stronger, erased almost completely, in the puddles and in the shower ride on the highway more than 70 scary, throws off the road. The result was the breaking of the side surface at the speed of 130 with a loaded daster 250kg, this is a consequence of the priority to the border near the house. When the tire came down on the disk, the sidewall became like a rag for sensations. Now I look closely to other brands for the summer with such sizes. What I do not know, reviews are all fake, if there are real, then moderators may also wipe them. Even here is a review I write a second time about this rubber, can be removed again.
Zhemaaletdinov Rifat, on his native Bridgestone (summer version), Nissan Cascai, departure 6 seasons. Mileage for the summer was and small, visited and more, incl. For long distances.
Trifon Olga, do you have the same 850th? We go at different speeds. You probably didn't go anymore 140, and I never drove less than 140.
I bought 2 tira Tihar Summer Suv 215/70, quiet than this, the rubber did not feel more. And already drove along different coatings, in the rain on the highway 150-170, the road holds perfectly. Drivered on a deep puddle at about 100 speeds, even the steering wheel did not jerk. In the frost, it is also perfect, the joints are not heard at all. Now I hear the wagon of defective Quefa in the checkpoint, starting at higher speeds, although I used to hear only with 30 km per hour, now from 60-70. Who knew that there is such a rubber, then Bridgestone did not buy ecopia.
Excellent model
Experience: more than a year
Advantages: Price stability perfectly holds the roadDisadvantages: Not particularly beautiful
Comment: I go for the second year on these bagels - the road keeps well, drove into the water at speed - it takes water normally, on the mud on the full drive relatively normal, because it is intended for asphalt. For two years wear is completely small. Overall satisfied. Advantages: Resistance and asphalt and primer (clay / sand), "does not swim" in a rut, smoothes uneven asphalt, perfectly keep the road to strong shower
Disadvantages: Noisy on dry asphalt, a small gravel stuck in the protector
Comment: Today, the tires were pleased with the disgusting weather - a strong shower, with wind and zero visibility, the track is filled with water so that water does not simply give up the car from the oncoming flow, but also calmly flies far beyond the right side. At the same time, the car "rushing like a tank" and calmly withstands the onslaught of nature. When "flying" 90 km / h on a wet asphalt with a kolay - no aquaplaning and other "joys". On clay rusted, like a stubborn donkey :) But the small gravel is stuck in the protective, and then knocks on the bottom. For my hearing - noisy (but it is purely subjective perception) Size 225/65 / R17
Excellent model
Experience: a few months
Advantages: Price relative to leading brands, good stability on the wet road, in the rain the perfect tires. Well balanced.Disadvantages: Some noisy, compare with NEXEN
Disadvantages:
- slightly noum

BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA EP850 Summer Rubber, the first in the ecosin lineup with low rolling resistance, fuel economy to 3.9%. Designed for SUVs with full drive and crossovers. It guarantees comfortable movement with a quiet, soft move. Improved braking and wear resistance.
Clear handling
The car, equipped with this version of the tire, instantly listens to the steering wheel turns and is distinguished by a shortened braking on a wet highway. The advantage is a long service life.
Comfort and sishin
Soft, quiet stroke of the tire creates comfortable sensations and delivers a lot of pleasure from a trip on a dynamic car. At the same time, gasoline is consumed quite economically.
First Eco Line Tire
Summer tire of the new line combines excellent handling, a little noise and comfortable feelings on the way.
Characteristic qualities
Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 product is the result of the work of Japanese engineers in terms of applying energy-efficient tires for SUV class cars. Basically, the product is intended for transport of excellent patency. Improved key qualities managed to achieve without prejudice to reliability.
Ekoshina Review will continue, considering the pattern of the external wheel profile. Asymmetry and the tread device is not designed to travel abroad of the ideal urban highway. Together with the side parts on the tire, the five rings are visible. Internal and external rings are distinguished by slots and are separated by a ring edge in the center.
Two parts of this edge are cut into quadrangular blocks. This original solution provides reliable coursework stability, effective overclocking, even on a sliding roadbed.
Rhombid parts of the ring in the center, deployed at an angle to the movement, which improves the traction and coupling quality tires.
Increased rigidity and reinforced design distinguishes the shoulder wheels. Rigid sidewalls, together with a small profile radius, create an increased area of \u200b\u200bthe contact spot, its correct shape, according to which the external pressure force is equally distributed.
As a result, an excellent sticking to the surface of the road is created, the rubber is wearing more evenly, the time of operation of the product is extended.
Key advantages
The asymmetrically located tread pattern determines the strong muciation with the motorway, in different situations, and a small opposition to the movement.
The material in which the active acidic acid is included, the specific elements with a long chain of the chemical formula is placed in the external sheath of the tire, which reduces its heating and saves fuel.
Many rhombuses of the central part of the wheel are deployed at an angle to the direction of the car movement. For this reason, traction and coupling abilities are strengthened.
Hard, with high strength, sidewalls, erased more evenly, it improves the quality of controllability.
Consumer reviews
Alexander:
In general, these bagels are pleased. Water takes effectively, the course holds normally. I tried on a full drive on a full drive - we drove relatively safely, although it is intended only for asphalt. In the puddles flew at speed, passed steadily. Not too beautiful appearance. For two years almost no erased. You can put 4 points out of 5 possible.
Anonymous:
Do not float by a key, small irregularities of broken asphalt smoothes. In a good shower, the road holds canceled. By dry asphalt, the little is noisy goes. Small pebbles get stuck in profile slots.
Yesterday there was a shrill wind, a solid flow of water from the sky, the track was poured with water. At the same time, a pearl machine as a tank, adequately withstand the onslaught of the elements. On clay tire goes like a stubborn donkey, without aquaplating and other jokes, such as strokes. Gravel is stuck in the lamella and then knocks on the bottom. But it is the little things compared to excellent handling and a steady course. I put an estimate 5, with a small minus.
Andrew:
I like the price, in comparison with leading brands, it is quite acceptable. Resistant to rain, the steering wheel on the wet route is listening. Well balanced. Slightly noise. For urban crossovers, perfect tires. My score 5.
The Ecopia brand originated from the words Ecology and Utopia - it turned out some environmental perfectionism. The desirelessness of economy is caused by modern Euroorms: to reduce the amount of emissions is mainly due to the reduction of fuel consumption. I am sure, few of the readers seriously asked for the search for economical tires - the first place is usually worth the ratio of coupling properties and prices. But the characteristics that Japanese shinniki promise are very curious: the Ecopia light line (EP150, EP200 and EP850) that appeared this year allows to reduce fuel consumption compared to B250 tires, respectively, by 7.1%, 12.3% and 3.9% ! In such numbers it is difficult to believe, but if they close to truth, then this is a serious breakthrough in the tire industry.
A / T 697 - the most SUPPULEtires in the gamma
On the off-road landfill Land Rover Experience, I managed to make a mini-test of another tire line, designed directly for SUV: Dueler H / P Sport, Ecopia EP850 and Dueler A / T 697. Recently, all cars of the training center will be equipped with these tires. The first on the queue is Ecopia EP850, in the asset they record comfortable and quiet driving, good braking on the wet coverage and traditional sidewalls for Bridgestone. Due to 15.7% resistance to rolling, this tire promises a 3.9% decrease in fuel consumption compared to Dueler H / L 683. Linear gamma includes an as much as 23 sizes (15-19 inches). Of course, all the finends of the novelty can immediately feel difficult, but some information can be obtained. For example, driving up a mountain with a 45-degree bias or moving with a 30-degree bias. First, Discovery is perfectly kept for a concrete coating without applying signs of slip. And secondly, with a steep side of the side, there is practically no pitch of the sidewall of the tire - all withinpermissible. Another model, Dueler H / P Sport, repeating Potenza RE050 drawing, is designed for premium SUVs, such as Range Rover. For these purposes, a high-speed site was prepared at the landfill, laid along a dirty ring highway. More interesting. But "understand" tires here is perhaps even harder. Oddly enough, the Range's purely asphalt tires can be completely governed, only occasionally floating the turning of the front axle - and everything is extremely predicted. The third novelty - Dueler A / T 697, which is currently the most off-road bus in the SUV-gamma. MT dirt tires so far do not supply to us, which is very strange - where, if not in Russia, will there be at least close demand on them? But the 697th Dueler behaves not bad on the crossing. And judging by the characteristics distribution diagram shown on the presentation, the tires have become rushing and passing (compared to the 694th model), although the lamella on the shoulder block has become less forreducing noise level. In general, Bridgestone moves the right road. Especially pleased that the company constantly conduct tests for strength and wear resistance, as a result of which Japanese tires are not better adapted to Russian realities. And for our country, these features are still more important than fuel economy.
The "green" line of Bridgestone Ecopia has an innovative composition of the rubber mixture, with the addition of silicon and a group of polymer compounds. The manufacturer claims that chemical additives make it possible to reduce friction losses, heating and deformation of the wheel when rolling. In combination with improved tread pattern, new rubber provides confident braking on wet and dry coatings.
As the main advantages of their ecoshina Ecopia EP850. The manufacturer indicates the following:
- low rolling resistance, ensuring fuel savings by 3.9%;
- comfortable and quiet driving;
- improved braking on a wet surface;
- increased wear resistance.
The latest development among ECOPIA EP850 ecoos \u200b\u200bis designed to provide comfortable and quiet driving drivers and crossovers. This tire is aimed not only for the driver's comfort, but also on environmental protection - reduced noise of rubber reduces car noise on the road, and reduced rolling resistance reduces both fuel consumption and harmful emissions from the engine.
BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA EP850 Tire Protector Completely Road - The drawing is obviously designed for the best clutch with expensive. It doesn't have to talk about any outstanding characteristics outside of the roads: the ECOPIA EP850 tire is aimed, first of all, on dynamic driving, and not to move on off-road, especially in a latitude.
When compared with the variants and intended for monolavarous cars, the asymmetry of the tread and an enlarged frequency of lamellae is striking. It can be assumed that the rubber developers were calculated not to some separate parameter or technological development, but they sought to use a synergistic effect, which would allow rubber to show itself well on cars with two leading axes, as well as increased in relation to the monotrifable car.
Introducing the new ecological bus Kadzukhito Khasegawa, head of the Bridgestone tire development department for crossovers, emphasized: "Work on the ECOPIA EP850 bus for crossovers has become a real challenge for our team. The owners of crossovers usually expect from their large and heavy cars not only the possibility of moving along different types of road surfaces, but also excellent manageability, like a car, as well as safety and comfort. For us, this meant the need to combine environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency with optimal handling on a wet and dry road, resistant to abrasion and, of course, with a low noise level. We have developed this tire from scratch, carefully selecting materials by typing the smallest nuances of the structure and shape, creating the optimal design of the tread. The result of our hard work has become an innovative product - a tire with reduced rolling resistance, extremely quiet in operation. "
A new ecological tire is distinguished by a rich mesh of sizes, which allows it to be used both on small city crossovers and large family cars.
Test Drive
Compact SUV Daihatsu Terios and his "twin" Toyota Cami (as well as the second generation - Daihatsu Terios II or Toyota Rush / Be-Go) was not officially supplied to Russia, so the car is known only in fairly narrow circles.
Daihatsu Terios is a light SUV with a constant with a symmetrical full-wheel drive, similar to Niva 4x4. You can only call a sports car only with a big stretch, however, the more curious was to check the road properties of the new Bridgestone rubber for crossovers - because most often we are talking about heavy cars, but about the "kids" forget.
Daihatsu Terios rubber sizes are quite rare - 205 70 / R15. However, in the sizes of ECOPIA EP850 sizes, this size is present, so we were able to spend your curious test.
The first installation of Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 rubber on the test Daihatsu Terios passed easily. Rubber casting smoothly, the thickness is the same, so it turned out to be balancing the freshly installed tires.
Usually, the new tires begins to fully show its properties not immediately - about the first three hundred kilometers it should be running. Our tires came immediately into a serious test - the weather threw a surprise in the form of a sharp cooling. Recall, the time of summer rubber in the spring occurs when the average daily air temperature exceeds + 7c (and even better, it is installed in the area + 10c). In this case, the night temperatures descended noticeably below + 7c - closer to zero degrees.
Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 tire has been very sensitive to a decrease in air temperature - the tires of the stolen, the characteristics of the controllability and braking can be evaluated only to the weak "Troychka". The situation corrected a little with the completion of the runoff, but the noticeable sensitivity to low temperatures remained. It can be assumed that a sharp reaction of rubber on a decrease in air temperature is due to the presence of polymers that show themselves positively at higher air temperatures.
As a result, you can make the first conclusion: In a pair of studded winter rubber bus Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 - not the most convenient option, since winter tires have to use longer than I would like.
The main advantages of the Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 tire, expected, shows on the road to warm weather. First of all, the rubber is very quiet - after "riding" the contrast is particularly noticeable. The clutch with the road is very good: the car goes confidently and gently, wigifully playing small irregularities. A small jumping machine on this rubber has become much more "brought up" - soft and smooth, more similar to urban power cars.
Under the conditions of quay on the road, the behavior of the car also changed: the control over the car has become more confident, the controllability has improved. The response to the beacon as a whole decreased markedly (and for a light vehicle with a narrower than the standard, the Kolay is in some conditions can be critical, for example, in the rain).
So, the second conclusion: When the air temperature corresponds to the operational requirements, the Bridgestone ECOPIA EP850 rubber really improves the handling of a small SUV.
But the reduction of fuel consumption for test Daihatsu Terios could not be achieved: Improved car control characteristics provoke to high-speed ride. As a result, the average driving speed was higher than the usual 10-15 km / h, so fuel consumption even increased by about 200 ml / 100 km.
Third conclusion: The real effect of Bridgestone ECOPIA EP850 rubber on fuel consumption remains in question - for the purity of the experiment, other test conditions are required.
The following BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA EP850 Test Parameter - Brake Characteristics. Here, the developers of the ecological tire managed to achieve very good results. It so happened that on this rubber I had to slow down in an extreme situation on the road with a beacon and irregularities, dramatically slowing the speed from 110s to 40 km / h. For a high small car, which does not only have any super-modern braking and stabilization systems, but also primitive ABS, such a maneuver is very risky. However, in the Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 rubber, braking has passed almost perfect. Interestingly, after this experiment on rubber, it was not possible to find traces of sharp braking.
Conclusion Fourth: Breaker BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA EP850 bus slowly.
On the wet road, Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 tires also show itself fine - here and manageability, and braking. The difference in behavior between dry asphalt and wet is surprisingly insignificant, although, of course, forget that the wet road requires high vigilance, it is impossible to forget.
Fifth conclusion: Warm summer rain, and even shower, car on Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 - no interference.
The off-road rubber Bridgestone Ecopia EP850, as expected, nothing special is. On these tires you can drive through the primer, easy to connect the shallow sand and even overcome the plot with mud and clay. However, it is not necessary to especially count on more. On the dry or tight sand rubber, thanks to the even shallow protector, it may be even not bad (the wheels will not be buried). But on the clay can only go until the first slip. As soon as the wheel dropped, the dirt flashes the lamellas and the tires turn into "lumps". Thus, the 800-meter lift over the wet clayey lifting the car overcame, but once again stopped I did not risk - the nature of the clutch of the wheels with the road was too border. Stopping, it was already possible and not to touch.
Conclusion Six: Though for SUVs, but Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 is a completely road tires designed for a comfortable road ride. Combine off-road better on other rubber.
About wear resistance Ecopia EP850 for 3,500 km run speak early.
SUMMARY
The Bridgestone ECOPIA EP850 rubber is designed for a dynamic, comfortable and economical driving of cars with wheel formula 4x4 in different options for transmitting torque over the axes on the roads with a solid coating.
In Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 bus, we have a range of technical solutions:
- specially designed asymmetrical pattern of a tread, which allows you to maximally remove water from the spread of the rubber contact with the road surface and preventing driving,
- polymer additives into a rubber mixture that improve brake characteristics and increasing the wear resistance of the tire,
- reduced noise level and rolling resistance.
