Supplied from new on an F54 Clubman Cooper S. At first impressed with handling, comfort and grip. Quickly became dissatisfied with wet grip. Deeply dissatisfied with wet grip in mucky conditions... Spin up exceptionally quickly and require a fast and deft touch to balance a four wheel slide, which are alarmingly frequent. Will be trying Michelin pilot sport 4 next, in the hope this cures the failings of the Continental Ecocontact 6. I would only go for these if you drive everywhere gently, rarely venture onto mucky roads and have quick reaction times. This review is from an ADI of three decades, Advanced driver and Motorcyclist.

The tires have been fine in all ways, as fitted new on to a Volvo XC60, except for the wear that has been appalling. We do not drive fast, but we have had to change the two rear tires (in a front wheel drive car) after 10,000 miles.

These tires were original fitment on my Captur II and I have driven aprox 1500 km with them. + They are stable and grippy on dry pavement. Feels secure. + Low rolling resistance - good for the fuel economy. + Quite comfortable, not so nosy. But the big disadvantage is their performance in the wet. They felt very good when new, but now on my 2nd year (I have winter tires so I don’t use the Conti’s in the winter) they have lost grip in the wet. They are not so resistance to aquaplaning, they starts to float and loose their grip far to easily when it’s raining. This is of major concern for me and because of this I give a low rating for wet and wear. They don’t feel secure in the wet. They have lost too much of the wet performance even if the thread still looks good. I drive in town, on countryroads and motorways. My longer journeys are mostly on 80 - 110 km/h roads. Mostly 100 km/h. I’m an easy going driver and I respect speed limits. When it’s time to replace them, I will look at other tires.

I hate these. Steering is imprecise, grip and handling in the dry is tolerable, but not brilliant. With some water on the road the grip disappears. Aquaplaning is horrible. I hit a puddle on the motorway at 70mph (yes, really, 70mph, not a fast interpretation of that) and nearly lost control of the car. Fast acceleration has these tires slipping; even moderate braking can trip the ABS. I'm throwing these away after just 2000 miles because they're so bad. I don't know what Continental have done here, they used to be able to make tires that actually worked. And I really don't understand why Volvo fit these as OEM equipment.

Very poor value for money. On dry: No worries about road holding in dry conditions with a fairly dynamic and comfortable ride. Largely suitable for tires in this range. On the other hand there is a very strong and unpleasant squealing in the turns even when driving quietly. On wet road: I have never had such bad tires on wet ground. Very complicated not to spin at the start, aquaplaning from the slightest puddle of water even at moderate speed, very poor cornering. There's nothing going! Lifespan: I punctured at 15,000 km, not repairable so I couldn't go to the end, but they seemed to me to be quite damaged. Rather average at this level I would say. Conclusion: I'm not so unhappy to have punctured finally, I changed them for Michelin Primacy 4, day and night. In any case, off can be good promotion, they are to be avoided and are a very bad deal! If you live in a rainy area, run away!

Confortable ride in all circumstances at reasonable speeds. Low noise , good mileage, low wear : after 30.000 KMS still 4.7 tread (6.5 new)

Tires came with the car when I bought it. After two years and almost 9000 miles I have to say that they have very high wear and average grip on both dry and wet roads and the only positive thing on these tires are the low noise. Specs that you can find on an cheaper tire. I will not buy them again for sure.

I would not pay the price for continental tires, when new they look like part worn tires soft sidewalls full of dents, Michelin and Good Year are far better tires, and last a lot longer, more for your money, I bought a peugeot2008 new, hoping for Michelin primacy tires, but it was fitted with eco contact crap with hardly any tread on them, won't be putting those back on when it's time for some new ones, and looking at them that won't be long

These tires performed reasonably well in all categories but are very poor value indeed due to short tire lifetime. All tires I have ever purchased have had a tread depth of 7mm or more when new - to my surprise the Continental EcoContact 6 tires, fitted to a brand new car I recently hired, only had a tread depth of 6.3mm. The GoodYear Efficiency tires on my previous newly hired car had a tread depth of 7.5mm. I checked with the supplier that the Continental tires were new, which they confirmed. So I phoned Continental UK and spoke to one of their technical staff who, to my surprise, confirmed that the manufactured tread depth was indeed 6.3mm, within some 1/10th mm tolerance. The continental advertising blurb claimed that their superior technology made the tires more wear resistant, so I decided to wait, measure, and check that is true. It isn't. The front Continental EcoContact 6 tires on my fwd drive car have done only 4609 miles in their first year (Covid limited mileage) and their measured tread depth is now 5.3mm, a loss in tread depth of 1.0mm which projects to 2.2mm tread depth reduction per 10k miles. The equivalent figure for my previous car tires (Toyota Avensis estate with GoodYear Efficiency 215/55/R17) was a bit better than that, at 1.9mm/10kmiles, challenging Continental's claim of extra wear resistance. And because Continental EcoContact 6 tires are manufactured with only 6.3mm tread, 1.2mm less than GoodYear, I get about 5.5k miles less 'life' from them than from the GoodYear tires; the missing 1.2mm would have extended the tire's 'lifetime' by 4609 miles x 1.2mm/1.0mm = 5.5k miles.

OEM tires on a new Ford Kuga mk3. I think the worst tire a had in my 35 years driving experience. Thinking of replacing them in autumn(10000km). Feeling unsafe in wet

These tires came on my Volvo XC60. They perform ok, but the thread is so shallow on a brand new tire that they look used. Will be replaced with Michelin or Goodyear...

Average tire , confortable ride , reasonable wear : tread depth alter 18000 km is about 5.5 mm
