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

The most recent Continental tyres provide better grip and improved steering precision than the previous set Pirelli tyres.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/80R14 88H
Great tyres at a much better price than you'd get from normal retailers. They are the original fit for the car, meaning no replacement is needed.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/80R14 88H
I had to replace this tyre because I hit a pothole and caused a bulge on the sidewall of my old one. These new tyres have been great so far and grip well in both wet and dry conditions.

They wore evenly, and I was able to get 50,000 miles out of the previous pair.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/80R14 88H
I was disappointed that they wore out so fast. Even with driving them respectfully, they lasted 12,000 miles on my Aygo. I thought they would last longer.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/80R14 88H
While these tyres may last a while, the traction they offer is poor, presumably due to the type of rubber used. Consider choosing Premium Contact tyres; they may not last as long, but they provide exceptional grip and safer driving.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 3 175/80R14 88H
I've been using this type for over a decade, and it really does the job. Just remember that they're summer tyres, so they won't grip as well on ice.
