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 5 235/55R17 103V XL
Definitely quieter than the tyres they replaced. They appear to do a good job on dry roads, although in the wet some other brands I have tried may grip better.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 235/55R17 103V XL
I want to give an honest review after having these tyres for a few weeks. In both dry and wet conditions, I've driven with them and haven't had any issues. They also appear to provide a good grip to the road and are performing well.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 235/55R17 103V XL
I think my fuel consumption may have improved a little, and the grip is great. Used them for 3 weeks. These are the most recent version of my last ones. No problems yet. A friend recommended this site, and their prices are good. Happy customer.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 5 235/55R17 103V XL
Great. Compared to older versions of the same tyre that are worn, the adhesion on wet surfaces is considerably better.
