Product description & features

EcoContact 6 is the ecological summer tyre of the range which focuses on low rolling resistance and long life tread. EcoContact 6 uses Green Chili 2.0 compound, which provides lower tread wear. Compound consists of polymer-silica, reducing energy loss on rolling resistance and improving tyre deformation. Asymmetric tread pattern with larger outer blocks provides dry steering, inner blocks are closed with water dispersion grooves.

EcoContact 6 is the upgraded version of EcoContact 5, where Continental says that EcoContact 5 is 15% better in terms of rolling resistance and 20% more durable as far as its tread wear is concerned. There are also types in the EcoContact 6 series that are made for electric cars and hybrids. Electric cars and hybrids affect the contact patch of the tyre owing to their weight and torque. We have EcoContact 6 tyres at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Low rolling resistance
  • Longer tread life
  • Asymmetric tread with larger outer blocks

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 205/60R16 96W XL
Out of all the sets of tyres I have owned, these seem to get punctured the most often. While I appreciate the safety features in all weather conditions, the puncture issue is frustrating.
