CONTINENTAL 205/55 R16 ECOCONT6 TL 91V SUMMER

Maximum fuel efficiency thanks to improved component geometry and efficient silica distribution. The EcoContactT 6 strikes an optimal balance between tyre size and component distribution. The hightech compound provides robust connections between the silica and the rubber. This allows an optimal adaptation to varying road conditions, which ultimately improves the tyre's rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Enhanced mileage due to the new Green ChiliT 2.0 compound. The advanced Green ChiliT 2.0 compound adapts to the road surface, which leads to a reduction in the rubber loss throughout its life cycle.

The EcoContactT 6 offers a tailormade pattern, resulting in the best compromise between dry and wet performance. It further increases the safety in handling situations such as lane changes. And due to its innovative asymmetric rib and sipe geometry, the tyre always keeps the contact with the road. The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decisionmaking aid. Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safetyrelevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safetyrelevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer. By far the best tyre for performance, grip, wear and price that I've bought in a long time. When it come to replace them I will definitely be purchasing Continental EcoContact 6 again for absolute peace mind.

Unfortunately we don't get a lot of snow here in the south of England but in all other weather conditions the tyres have proven to be confidence boosting and reassuring when driving my car knowing that i have a good set of boots fitted. I bought this tyre as my car came with them as standard new and this was for the spare. I had bought a pair of this brand and type of tyre for another vehicle already and was extremely happy with them.
