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 5 195/45R16 84V XL
There is a noticeable difference in road noise with the new tyres. While there is not much change in fuel economy, the old tyres are still on my rear axle. I'm happy enough, and customer service from the garage and Tyres.co.uk was great.
