Bridgestone M713 Ecopia

A tandem-axle drive tire for trucks that live on paved lanes. Bridgestone builds the M713 Ecopia for long-haul, superregional, regional and less-than-truckload service: loaded miles, highway speeds, and a fuel bill that decides whether the month works. It is the fuel-economy pick in Bridgestone’s drive line, EPA SmartWay verified and CARB compliant, engineered by Bridgestone for an 8% improvement in rolling resistance and 15% longer tread life than the M710 it replaced. Bridgestone also states it meets 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake (3PMSF) criteria for snow traction performance — that is Bridgestone’s wording, meets the criteria, not a claim that the snowflake is branded on the sidewall.

The pattern is a closed, continuous-shoulder design, 24/32" deep in every size. That continuous shoulder distributes weight and torque uniformly across the footprint, which is how Bridgestone fights the irregular wear that pulls a drive tire before it treads out, and a high-rigidity tread pattern holds the blocks and ribs still under torque for less tread wear and lower rolling resistance. Traction comes from 3D siping inside the blocks, which opens fresh biting edges as the tread wears. The fuel side is materials, not tread depth. A NanoPro-Tech compound and IntelliShape sidewalls cut weight and the energy the tire burns as heat every revolution. Under all of it sits an optimized belt package meant to outlive the first tread, so the casing can come back as a Bandag B713 FuelTech retread — Bridgestone’s own pattern match. Retreading by an authorized Bandag dealer is a condition of the Enhanced Casing Credit, and that credit covers the casing for 7 years from the date of manufacture or through the retread period in Bridgestone’s credit table, whichever comes first.

Drive axle only. Bridgestone does not list the M713 as a steer or all-position tire, and a regrooved one should not go on the front axle. It is also the wrong tire for hard duty. At 24/32" it is the shallowest drive tread in the Ecopia family, where the M760 Ecopia runs 27/32" and Bridgestone’s deeper drives go to 33/32", so high-torque, high-scrub, stop-and-go and gravel work want a deeper lug. The Enhanced Casing Credit excludes severe service, mining, logging, waste and refuse, and on/off-highway use outright. There is no mileage warranty, expressed or implied, and irregular wear is not covered. Bridgestone builds it in four sizes, all Load Range G / 14 ply, with no Load Range H in this model: 11R22.5 at 144/142 L and 11R24.5 at 146/143 L, both 105 psi max; 285/75R24.5 and 295/75R22.5 at 144/141 L, both 110 psi. L means 75 mph. Check your wheels before you cross-shop sizes: 295/75R22.5 needs 13.2" minimum dual spacing where the 11R sizes need 12.5", and 285/75R24.5 has exactly one approved rim width, 8.25", with no alternate.

If the third-party verification and the retread program are not what you are buying, our factory-direct Invovic drives do the same axle job. The FM770 is the closer pattern match, a closed-shoulder highway drive, and the FM750 is the open-shoulder version for mixed regional work with ramps and gravel; both carry 27/32" of tread against the M713's 24/32", and the FM770 and FM750 are built in 16-ply Load Range H only, where the M713 is 14-ply Load Range G only, so the two lines never share a load range. Neither Invovic drive is made in 285/75R24.5, so the M713 stands alone on that size. The trade is documented on both sides. Bridgestone gives you EPA SmartWay verification, its published 3PMSF criteria statement, the Bandag B713 FuelTech pattern match, an Enhanced Casing Credit that pays on the casing when an authorized Bandag dealer does the retreading, and a full sheet of dimensional data — approved rim widths, minimum dual spacing — you can check your wheels against. Invovic publishes no casing-credit schedule, no named retread program, and no SmartWay or 3PMSF claim, and we publish no overall diameter, section width, revs per mile or approved rim widths for the Invovic line; what Invovic does bring is a DOT-certified tire from the factory we import from directly. Put both on one quote — tell us the size, the axle and where the truck runs. What comes back is a delivered price: the tires, delivery, tax and the state tire fee. Mounting and balancing is billed by whichever truck tire shop or mobile service you use — free delivery within 25 miles of Bakersfield, delivered pricing nationwide.
