Product description & features

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. Tyres.co.uk supplies the Continental EcoContact EP.

Highlights

  • Low rolling resistance compound and casing

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact EP 175/55R15 77T
Having different sizes for each wheel and no spare tyre can make the Smart car quite tricky. Nevertheless, it was sorted out for us and we've hit the road again.

Tyres are okay but the overall performance isn't as good.

Just as predicted, those tyres are the appropriate ones for that vehicle.

It's been a lovely and peaceful drive with these. I can tell a difference in the handling of the car now! I'm rather happy with my choice so far.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact EP 175/55R15 77T
These are summer tyres. The i-MiEV needs a specific tyre size for its regenerative braking to work properly (needs to match the ratio of the original tyres). This set was ideal. A ratio converter would be useful on the site. It was a real struggle to find appropriate tyres, similar to the 13-inch ones I was looking for my 92 Geo Metro.

Tyre review for Continental Eco Contact EP 175/55R15 77T
I've driven about 3,100 miles on these tyres and so far they seem to be holding up fine.
