Product description & features

The Continental EcoContact 5 is a summer touring tyre that intends to limit rolling resistance. This tyre introduces a new tread compound and form that minimises energy loss to heat. The sidewall flexes leading to energy loss too, and to mitigate this, Continental designed the sidewall in conjunction with the new tread compound to limit flexing during turning.

Rolling resistance improves over generations. The EcoContact 5 is now on the third iteration over its predecessor, the ContiEcoContact 3. According to Continental, the EcoContact 5, in its launch form, achieved a 20% decrease in rolling resistance and an increase in tyre life by 12% over the ContiEcoContact 3. Some iterations of the EcoContact 5 also feature ContiSeal, a sealing layer that closes punctures up to 5mm. At this moment, Tyres.co.uk has the Continental EcoContact 5, with and without ContiSeal, in stock.

Highlights

  • Summer touring tyre
  • Tread compound reduces heat loss
  • ContiSeal closes punctures up to 5mm

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 165/65R14 83T XL
The tyres are in good condition. I monitor the air pressure every several days and the readings have remained constant.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 165/65R14 83T XL
I don't feel comfortable making a full judgement on fuel efficiency yet as I haven't driven sufficiently. The tyres appear adequate in both the wet and dry. The steering is noticeably lighter than my previous Bridgestone set, and there's a slight feeling of them being less connected to the road. Maybe they need to be broken in a little.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 165/65R14 83T XL
The location where I have the tyres fitted also checks their pressure for me, and they told me that the tyres have been performing very well.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 165/65R14 83T XL
While it's too early to say for certain, I think I'm starting to see some minor improvements in my fuel economy. I usually see better numbers in summer as well.
