On a brand new car they’ve just not performed to expectation

Very very very soft!!!! Bought because they are supposed to be XL!! Was concerned as soon as i felt them but was told that with air in they would be fine! Wrong!!! They looked like balloons ready to pop! And drove like it! Bulging and rounded at the bottom and more air pumped in did little to help! Oversteer bad so fun ruined! Road noise ok’ish but back end bouncing around on the Mway because of the extra air. Front end felt like having two flat tires, car felt like it had lost its power steering on corners it was that heavy! Would say they are better suited to gentle town driving as they do handle bad roads quite well and speed humps. Buyer beware..... after 40 miles I’ve requested they be removed from my car immediately!! Cost £473 for the 4, £312 down the drain as dealer can only offer me £40 each as they are used. I did contact Continental and they confirmed they are soft tires and said they had not received any complaints!! Expensive waste of money! Never again.

Do not buy these model of tires , i have looked at them before fiting and they were so soft that you could not stand them , when you grab and maneuver one it feels like you can turn it inside out with little to no effort. Still ,thinking they are the best option for A fuel rated , i went ahead and purchased them . Less than 2 miles down the road and after 10 min of fitment /pasing mot , i nearly crashed on first bend , 20miles per hour in first left corner and car understeered so badly. Checked tire presure and all fine , it feels extremely wobbling/lurching and will go back to find a diferent option as this is unsafe to use . I dont understand how such products are out on the market . I am professional driver but never in my life felt a car/van/truck so lagging when turn steering wheel . Dont know ab the promised fuel economy as i am returning the the Green Chili technology back to were it came from in less than 24h 10miles of driving

15.000 km in front (traction) wheels and they are close to the 3 mm wear indicator. The tires tread depth was smaller than usual when new, and they have lasted for a short time. I won´t buy again. Normal drive, highway, 110hp vw golf.

came OEM fit on a M135i F40 (just for bmw to save some CO2 grams when they homologation them) as the other reviewer said and i cannot agree more with him. it is clearly not the right type of tire for this type of car. it’s just not designed for powerful cars. it’s just a confortable tire for standard model with not too much power to handle. it simply ruins the joy of the car. it’s a disaster. thanks good the car is super good and has xdrive plus limited slip differential that are somehow countering how poor these tires are. if you drive normally it’s ok but as soon as you want to play a little bit the tires are just immediately giving up asking you to speed down. horrible grip during acceleration because of its ver low rolling resistance. you just can’t use the full potential of the car on the first meters. i’m sure i can’t reproduce the same 0-100 with such tire. fast cornering is a no go. wet grip on fast curves is ridiculous. they should have at least put some continental sport contact. but i guess that was not possible because bmw need to lower the co2 stats. still on such a car it is horrible. now i’m wearing winter LM001 bridgestone and i can feel the grip difference on acceleration. such a joy. so more response during acceleration. as soon as winter is over i will have to switch to michelin pilot sport 4s if i find any * otherwise i’ll go for pilot sport 4* that are for sure better than those horrible exocontact

Came on M135i F40. Clearly the wrong tire for such a car. Replaced after 1000 miles as it loses control in the dry at 25-40mph making quick turns.

Got them on my 2008 Honda Civic, the rear tires are like brand new still, but the frinta are needing replaced already. I've done less than 4000 miles in them. Really poor wear if on the drive wheels

Great on fuel efficiency, dry grip and brake distance is excellent for an Eco tire. On wet conditions eco 6 is also perfect for an eco tire. Better than the previous eco 5 especially on dry braking.

Good tire but a bit pricey. Wear quick during motorway driving, lasted around 10000-12000 miles.

Dry grip is ok, but the wet grip terrible. Especially under acceleration and braking.

My car a 2014 SEAT TOLEDO 1.6 TDI has a firm suspension (semi rigid axle on the back wheels) coupled with low profile oem tires (215/45/16) made for an uncomfortable ride. I tried changing to Falken ziex310 ecorun with deeper profile (205/50/16) but, although grip and road feedback were brilliant, comfort, noise and fuel consumption were bad. So i changed to contis ecocontact6. These tires do improve ride quality significantly over bumps and potholes. I also saw a 10% better fuel consumption compared to the Falkens. BUT road feedback is terrible. Nowhere near the Falkens. Can't imagine anyone using them for spirited driving. Depending on how fast or slow they wear, i will consider if i will buy them again.

I realise mine will not be a thorough review, however I feeI could still share my limited experience of the continental ecocontact 6 with you. The car was a rental BMW F40 120d xdrive (MY2019/2020) with msport package, which I am not sure comes with upgraded suspensions on the 1 series. Tires were 225/40/18. While I only had the car for two days, I was "lucky" to put it through its paces during storm Ciara, on the 10th of Feb in Edinburgh. I drove through some dry, damp, and wet while it was raining and snowing. Bear in mind there was no snow on the ground, however it was quite cold at 2 degrees Celsius and perceived -5 (according to google at least). I regret not having an IR thermometer with me at the time, however it is safe to say that the tires were considerably colder than ideal both in city driving and short motorway stints. Being eco summer tires, I was surprised by their positive behaviour on cold, wet roads. Today's tire technology is remarkable. While there wasn't enough water to test the aquaplaning resistance at speed, I did try booting the accelerator pedal to see if the tires would struggle to maintain traction. Within the road legal limits, and without looking like a complete hooligan it was impossible to upset the car. This is to say that driving according to the conditions one could get through a mild winter with summer tires, and the ecocontact 6 seems to be no exception. In terms of comfort I found the 120d more compliant than other msport package bimmers (2,3,5 series) mostly wearing Pirelli P7 Blue, and Goodyear F1 A3. However, it could just be because of softer suspensions. The car was probably a little too stiff for what I think it sets out to be, but absolutely acceptable and comfortable by my standards. The new 1 series doesn't strike my like a performance vehicle of any sorts and somehow seems more cramped in the front than before. As for the handling, and feedback, nothing noteworthy. The feedback is lacking and steering a little vague on all the bimmer I have driven. The F30 3 series being the least disappointing. Granted I only driven F30 318i and G20 320i. So perhaps the good kit can still be found on the 40i's and M cars, but I am sceptical. The ecocontact 6 did not seem to mute the steering further. Good tire for touring, fits the car and satisfies the need of most of us. DISCLAIMER: the car had 2255 miles when I collected it, I assume all the mileage was done on this set of tires. I drove some 50-100 miles. The car had xdrive, bmw lingo for AWD, which very sporadically redistributed power, but never because of sudden lost of traction. This was hard to notice, but still present. Finally, why I may have said that summer tires CAN make it through winter, it is not advisable in Scottish weather. These tires performed just fine when they were new and had full tread. However the grooves do get narrower as the tread is reduced. (Any) premium all season tires for those who don't drive big miles would be my recommendation, especially for places like Scotland, where summer temperature are contained. Michelin CrossClimate Plus should not compromise warm/dry performance too much either.
