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

They are fine, have the texture of tyres, and make the standard tyre sounds.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 215/55R17 94V
It is an acceptable tyre although it is pretty noisy. It handles the road better than average. It also performs better than average in wet driving conditions.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 215/55R17 94V
These tyres perform phenomenally in all weather conditions. They have great road grip and are very quiet. By far, the best tyres I have ever owned.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact 6 215/55R17 94V
As expected. Since I put on the new tyres I have changed the car I use to one that is better for long trips. Unfortunately I have a slow puncture caused by hawthorn debris on the road. I think it's in an unrepairable place but at least it's slow, so the car can still be used, although at the moment not very often.
