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

They have obviously enhanced the steering and it was outfitted just in time for the very soggy and icy roads.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 205/55R16 91H
After driving 25,000 miles on the car's original tyres, I noticed that they wear evenly, but their grip in wet conditions is poor, especially when cornering, and they get quite loud when they reach the halfway worn point.
