Here is a reply I received from Bridgestone recently. Not very good news. I
am also adding a link for what appears to be a kind of "Tire Rack" in Japan,
since I can't read it, I'm not sure exactly what it is. The name Ecopia
EP100 is in English. I have worked a few angles trying to get some but to no
avail as yet. If anyone has any import connections I'd be in for a set or
two.

Dear Mr. Foreman,
Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, we have introduced the ECOPIA
EP100 only in the Japan market in limited sizes. We are studying the
possibility of expanding size offerings and introducing the tire
globally.
When Toyota introduced their RAV4 EV (Electric Vehicle) in the US
market, it came equipped with Bridgestone Ecopia tires in size 195/80R16
97S. We currently stock this tire in our warehouse if it happens to be
close to the size currently installed on your vehicle.
Best regards,
Mike Filipek
