An excellent premium tire at budget prices. Definitely wins on fuel efficiency, low rolling resistance and higher longevity. Sadly, prices aren't as low as they were a couple years ago but they are still excellent value compared to the cheap Chinese brands littering the market in the smaller tire sizes.

This review is for the EcoContact 6Q BMW / Merc marked variant on a new U11 X1 150kW petrol with xDrive. These are frankly the worst new OEM fit tires I have encountered in numerous cars in well over a decade (I work in the industry). Dry grip was surprisingly poor with squeal setting in very early on mini roundabouts where no other vehicle has previously done so. A low speed (from 50km/h) emergency stop to avoid a car pulling out from a junction resulted in obvious sliding (in the dry!). Wet grip is slightly terrifying with unpredictable loss of the front end, once it goes it goes..! I have no idea how these were approved by BMW although I am sure they are have low rolling resistance.

Acquired these tires for my 2009 Ford Kuga, in the hopes for a comfortable tire...
Oh, how wrong I was.
The amount of noise in the cabin, increased tremendously!
The 18 inch tires are much more comfortable, even for their dimension difference and budget, specifically as the 18's are an unknown brand!
The dry grip is not quite there and the tire feels unstable on worn roads.
When pushed on wet roads, you have to be vigilant, because the grip will suddenly disappear.
Combined with low tread-depth, they are prone to aquaplaning...
These tires will only be used on my daughters 2015 model, when she need to tow her horses around, so she doesn't ruin her own 18" tires.
I would not recommend these for anyone, unless you only value fuel consumption...

Not so good overall. Wet grip very bad, dry grip just ok. Traveled 20000km with Vitara 1.6 120HP. You can feel the lack of contact area with the road. All those eco tires have deep treads and smaller amount or just smaller blocks. Those tires came with the new car when I bought it and at 10.000km I wanted to sell them and buy Sava Intensa UHP because it is much better tire for less money, but noone would buy used ecocontact, at least noone who knows a bit or two about tires. Since they were like new I left them and drove more and after aditional 10k they stil looked like new, so if you want a tire for life, go ahead and buy ecocontact, if you want grip, avoid them.

Absolutely fantastic tires despite the negative reviews to the contrary. I suspect that the negative reviews are on purpose to simply put people off by the competition. I have had these on my Skoda Superb for a while now and after approximately 20,000 miles they are simply the best tires I personally have ever had.
I wouldn't consider any other tire unless of course Continental release a better tire however these are as close to perfection as I have ever got!!!

Thank you for reading.

Excellent tires I've done almost 30,000 miles on a set just ordered another pair for front of my 2017 Prius. Improve fuel economy to average around 75 mpg. Simply the best on a hybrid such as mine weather they will be as good on a different car is another story

Conti eco contact 6, 165/70 R14T second set of them on my 98 Corolla. This set has 73000 Km done in one and half years. Town and highway traffic mostly. For normal everyday driving they seem perfect. Being a pure summer tire, they do feel a bit “soapy” when it gets below 5 degree Celsius so driving style needs to be adjusted. Other than that the grip is great dry and wet, fuel consumption is about half a litre per one hundred km less than the set of budget constancy tires I had a few years back. For normal driving above 5 degrees I can only recommend them.

Factory fit on my Kia Sportage Hybrid. I have travelled 12500 miles in 10 months on these tires and had seven punctures, all caused by stones piercing the carcass of the tire. The design of the tread collects small stones, 50+ of them in each tire and the carcass must be very thin. I've never had this before in 30 years of driving, same roads and type of driving and my other car which does similar mileage on the same roads hasn't had a puncture in years. Judging by complaints on Kia forums this is not uncommon. After four repairs and three replacement tires i've abandoned them and have swapped them out for a different tire.

They are fine in the dry and generally not a bad tire for wet grip on a heavy SUV. The are undoubtedly good for fuel consumption as the replacement tires are denting that slightly but whats the point in saving a few quid in fuel if you need to replace a £150 tire every few months as you get a puncture?! If you buy thee tires i'd recommend you get yourself a space saver spare tire.

Quite simply, the worst tires I have ever had the misfortune to endure. OEM on my new Fiesta, I am happy because I am replacing these tires tomorrow morning! They have loads of miles left in them, but they just feel unsafe in the wet and I can't continue without confidence in them.
The highlights are they have probably saved me a few quid in fuel and they are relatively comfortable and quiet. The downsides are they are appalling in the wet, particularly so in deeper water where aquaplaning becomes the norm. In the dry, they understeer at the merest hint of enthusiastic driving, so absolutely no fun to be had. They are to be replaced with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6's tomorrow and I can't wait.

Very dangerous in the wet, I've already flown out of the curve twice!!!

These tires were factory-fitted on my car. There are much better tires out there with lower price. Not recommended.

Dead tires after 20,000km
