NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Bridgestone Americas displayed its R283A Ecopia steer tire here at the Technology & Maintance Council annual meeting.

The company said the tire offers premium performance for long- and regional-haul service fleets and features advanced technologies for a strong wear life and fuel efficiency.

“Bridgestone engineered the R283A Ecopia steer tire to deliver the best combination of wear performance and fuel savings,” said Matt Loos, director of truck and bus marketing for Bridgestone Commercial.

The tire provides 21% longer wear life and 3% better rolling resistance than its predessor, the R283 Ecopia, according to Bridgestone.
