Product description & features

Reliability is one aspect of the Summer Touring Continental EcoContact 3, but sustainability is another. Driving every day produces an abundance of carbon. The EcoContact 3 is designed to minimise this by using a tread and casing which help to reduce the energy demand to keep the tyre rolling. It features a tread pattern which includes wide grooves running along the tread and channels that direct water away from where the tread meets the road. The EcoContact 3 includes fine slits throughout the tread, which increase the edges available for traction and braking on wet roads, and a tread pattern designed for uniform tread wear.

The EcoContact 3 is the predecessor for the Continental EcoContact 5. The EcoContact 5 increases the focus on wet-road safety balance with fuel efficiency even further. It features a similar low rolling resistance tyre design as the EcoContact 3 which strives to decrease fuel consumption in petrol cars and diesel cars, as well as in electric cars and e-vehicles, by improving the driving electric range. Tyres.co.uk offers the Continental EcoContact 3 to our customers.

Highlights

  • Wide grooves and water channels
  • Fine slits for wet traction
  • Tread pattern for even wear

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/55R15 77T
Eco-contact 3 tyres provide great durability and are quiet on the road which is why they are rated highly in a consumer magazine. You can trust their quality and should pay the price.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/55R15 77T
These tyres were placed on the back. They seem fine, but I haven't really seen any differences from the decent ones I had before, but they certainly aren't worse. Seem to do the job and are a good brand who did well in the Which? review for this size so that's good.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/55R15 77T
These Continentals are great. Enough grip, last a long time and stopping in both dry and wet weather is also great. Would buy again for sure. Installed them on a Fiat Punto.

Fitted on a Toyota Aygo, which isn't especially a performance car, but these tyres provide a good balance of traction in the wet and dry, longevity and fuel economy. Very happy with them.
