Bridgestone R268 Ecopia Feedback Wanted

My tires will hit the 7 year mark this coming summer so I am shopping for new tires. Currently have the Goodyear G661 HSA regional tires on the coach and like them very much, however they have now been replaced by the Endurance RSA and are no longer available. I am looking at other options including the Toyo M154 and the Bridgestone R268 Ecopia.

I can find loads of feedback on the Toyo's but hardly any on the Bridgestone. Looking for feedback from owners on the Bridgestone tires.

VetteNuts,
I have the R280 Bridgestones (295/75R22.5 LRH) on the DSDP. The drive tires are from 2008 with just over 65K miles. The steer tires are from 2012 with 44K miles on the them. Both sets have performed very well. Plenty of tread left on both and surprisingly no weather checking. I do keep the coach indoors when not travelling. The ride has been smooth and no uneven wear. I will be replacing at least the drives this year because of age and probably go with the R238A's in my size.

Smooth and safe travels to ya!

Bridgestone makes a good tire. The R268 is an older designed Ecopia. If you find the R283 is in your size, it's more energy efficient.

I found this to be a good tool when searching for tires:

Best of luck to you,

Been running Bridgestone tires on our coach for the past 17 years with zero problems. Based on our experience with their brand I can highly recommend them.

Good Luck with your tire choice and safe travels....
