Nice , very nice and comford for my polo 9n.
Very stable when i drive for 120-150 kmh at motorways , warm early at town but note is very soft for long distance every day use .
Fine for daily use at town and a cool trip every weekend , thats all .

I bought a pair of these for the front of my car and drove them approximately 14 miles home today. I have measured the tread depths and found them to be approximately 6.5 mm. The Continental Premium Contact 5 which were removed had done about 28000 miles and had worn down to approximately 3 to 4 mm. These tires were original equipment on the car and I am pretty sure the tread depths were of the order of 8 mm when they were new. When I have bought quality tires in the past, they have generally had around 8 mm of tread. If the tires wear at the same rate, it appears I will have to replace them at a much lower mileage. It is possible that the new tires will wear at a considerably reduced rate. However, I am sceptical and suspect that I will have to replace then at rather less than 28000 miles.
Are manufacturer's quietly reducing the life of their tires for commercial reasons?
This practice is surely environmentally unsound. More used tire casings will be produced for a given vehicle mileage. Greater stress should be placed on tread depth (and longevity) of tires when they are advertised new. Perhaps a statement of the tread depth in the description should be legally required. This would help to sort out the tendency of tire manufacturers toward selling tires of reduced tread depth.
I will try and add a further review when I have had the tires for a bit longer.

I have this on my car since march this year and after aprox. 9000km they have 1mm wear (from 6.5 when they come in new to 5.5 this week). I drove around 1300km straight (prague-bucharest) in 15h and they felt stable at 200km/h on highway. I would not buy again because of the low profile (6.5mm new).

Review your Continental EcoContact 6 >

These were factory fit on a Skoda Superb Combi. They started with 6.5mm tread and covered 47,000km to end up with 2.5mm tread. The wheels were rotated diagonally every 10,000km. I felt that they should have lasted longer given that they were not driven hard and I'd normally get at least another 10,000 km out of a set of tires. I normally replace my tires when the tread gets to 2mm but these were replaced early at 2.5mm as they began to feel unsafe in wet conditions. From the start, they were noisy on anything but smooth asphalt to the point where conversation in the car was difficult. They were grippy and predictable on dry roads and felt like they had low rolling resistance. They were acceptable in terms of comfort but felt very stiff over bumps. At 2.5mm they started to become unpredictable in the wet and had to be replaced. I would not recommend this tire which has all the hallmarks of something developed to help manufacturers meet their emissions targets.

Update of my previous reviews , after 40.000 km , tread still at 3,5 mm

Vague feeling in turns, unstable on worn roads.
Wet grip while turning = sliding/under-steering...
Very noisy on rough asphalt, but quiet on fresh...
Cheap tire isn't always the best...

One of the few officially available for VW ID.3 with 19 diameter. The good thing is a noise - almost none in the salon. The bad things outperform heavily: in 30 kkm (two years) they are gone (twisty roads + Greece where half of the year asphalt is well above 70 degrees). Wet handling was really bad from the start - several times electronics saved the car (and me). Wet braking is bad. At dry asphalt (winter, +15...+25) they are completely fine while during summer (+30 and above) becomes slippery (soft rubber mixture). Try to find something else.

New Continental Eco Contact got only 5mm tread
Wife's brand new Mercedes Aclass with 5k miles came back from service with note that front tires are worn - I didn't believe it and newer checked it. Now I got the car and 10k miles on the clock and front got 3mm rear 4.5mm which shocked me.
Now my wife got herself brand new A class again with same Continental tires and I've just checked them 5mm of tread on brand new tires- come on Continental that's not legal to sell brand new tires with less tread as some part worn tires! Rubbish will newer buy Continental.

Good dry grip, a little bit weaker in the wet. Wear rate is very good and the fuel consumption is reduced. Also a good feedback from the tire and the street.

I imported Continental EcoContact 6 from UK through eBay as in the US, Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 is the only available tire for BMW i3. EP500 has been released around 2013, and have only received minor updates since then. As a result of this, they have some notable issues, a) poor wet grip, b) very small amount of usable treads, c) poor wear, d) mediocre handling. I was tired of those tires, and wanted to see what EcoContact 6 can do vs EP500.

WiselyAutomotive measured the tread depth of Michelin E.Primacy, Bridgestone Ecopia EP500, and Continental EcoContact 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJIOQBxudrY around 1:25 mark). The EcoContact 6 had the most amount of treads in both the center, inner, and outer sides of the tire (6.26 mm, 6.55 mm, 6.13 mm). This means that out of all 3, we can expect generally better wet grip. This holds true in the EU labels as well, since EP500 received C/B rating for wet grip, whereas EcoContact 6 received constantly B or A.

After international shipping, the cost came out to be actually cheaper than EP500. I was happy to have installed all 4 of those for R20 wheel option, which is 155/60R20 and 175/55R20.

Handling - this tire handles really well. I was able to go around corners where EP500 lost grip, and it kept pulling through. It has bit of oversteery balance to it, but very predictable.

Dry - I was impressed with just how much stuff I can get away with this tire. I can stop in a comically short distance, and the tire had really good feedback overall. It felt like I was driving a completely different car.

Wet - This tire performed exceptionally on the wet. I could not get it to slide unless I was intentionally trying to get it to slide. Really good grip, and it was very confidence inspiring compared to EP500. It can however lose grip suddenly rather than predictably at times, so caution is always advised when driving on the wet surfaces.

Wear - This tire has more treads than EP500 to begin with, and newer technology. Tires have improved a lot since 2013, and it shows. After approx 1,000 miles, they look still brand new.

Ride quality - People complain that R20 option is too stiff and unforgiving. This tire fixed it -- it was so comfortable, the noise may be at 70 decibels, but it was much less harsh than EP500. It is considerably louder than Blizzak LM500 though, as expected.

A quick note about this tire -- the maximum pressure for rears is only 44 PSI, and the front even less (EP500 is rated for 50 PSI). So starting 2018-ish, BMW raised i3's tire pressure to 44 on the rears and 39 on the fronts. So I advise you check the tire pressure often if you are running 44, because there's a potential to exceed certified rating of 44. If you want to be safe, you can run 41 instead, which is pre-2018 tire spec for BMW i3 with the identical suspension and tire components for the most part.

Overall, I was super impressed, would buy again.

Nice tires, very nice rolling and very low fuel consuption. The handling is descent, the grip is good on dry road, ok on the wet (much better than the previous michelin energy savers). 40K klms and still have so much rubber to wear. Light car and smooth driving is probably the reason, but they look like new to me

Very bad tires, hard, heavy, uncomfortable and very noisy. I will change them after 1500 miles. I can't stand them anymore.

Factory fitted by the manufacturer. The most disappointing aspect is certainly the road holding on wet asphalt: the car tends to understeer heavily even at low speed, for example when traveling around a roundabout. Consumption is average as is noise. I've never had emergency situations in the dry, so I can't evaluate the performance in these situations: the sensation is of just enough precision when cornering.

I’ll start by saying that these tires are probably amongst the worst tires I have experienced on any car I have purchased over the past twenty years or so. Perhaps I’m being unduly harsh on the tire and should in fact aim my disappointment at the car manufacturers for choosing the EcoContact 6 tire as a suitable ‘year-round’ original-equipment fitment for a north European market. As a pure ‘summer-use only’ tire it’ll undoubtedly work well enough, despite the meagre 6mm of tread depth from new, which limits its potential lifespan. My first experience with Continental tires was with the EcoContact 4, as fitted to my then-new Fiat Panda Cross three years ago. As I took delivery of the car during the summer I had to wait until the winter to discover how unsuited those tires were to northern European winters. At low air temperatures the tires became very noisy, felt ‘wooden’ and ‘nervous’, and their grip on icy and snow covered tarmac was abysmal. After that first winter I changed to a set of Nokian Weatherproof All-Seasons tires…and what a transformation. Now, just a few weeks ago, I took delivery of a new Fiat Panda Wild 4x4. My heart sank when I discovered it was equipped with the latest EcoContact 6 tires. Again, these are pure ‘summer’ tires. Thankfully I missed the worst of the winter weather, yet even so, on cold damp tarmac the EcoContact 6 tires lack grip and composure and they don’t instil any confidence. But at least I will have many months to consider suitable replacements before next winter. And one final observation regarding EcoContact tires… Why are the tire sidewalls - even from new - all lumpy and uneven, giving the impression that they are damaged. Why?

Look like part worn tires when they are new, terrible in the wet, and don't last very long
