The Continental EcoContact EP is a summer passenger vehicle tyre designed for low rolling resistance when used consistently in warm weather. It uses a special tyre compound and casing to reduce the amount of energy lost to the rolling resistance, and it helps with fuel economy. Its tread has wide, straight grooves that run the length of the tyre that help evacuate water if it is used in the rain. The tread has fine, shallow incisions and the outer blocks of the tread assist with braking, cornering and steering.
The EcoContact EP is designed to be used in warm weather, above approximately 7 degrees Celsius, and is meant for standard passenger vehicle use in the summer months. How it is rated on the EU tyre label, as well as its load index and speed rating, will vary depending on the size of tyre you choose, so refer to the specification table for the specific size you choose.
