Continental EcoContact 6

Despite moderate driving and an average consumption of 15 kWh in hilly terrain, the tires went from 6.5 to 4.1 mm in one season. They feel vague in the wet. I'll replace them in the spring. No comparison with the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 on our MHEV.

The tires were fitted from factory. Poor experience from the start. Low levels of traction in acceleration and braking, below average overall handling and poor overall performance in rain and not so comfortable. I cannot say if they economical or not before I fit another set of tires on this car.
One thing that has particularly puzzled me on these tires is they loose pressure frequently. All tires. Will never buy them again or recommend them.

COMPARED WITH OTHER TIRES YOU HAVE USED

Comfortable compared to my previous tires, very good rolling resistence. Dry grip accetable, not impresie, feel safe on the wet (i have not push them on wet yet?

The EcoContact 6 came stock on my BMW G31, and I didn't enjoy it at all. While it was acceptable in the dry and good for fuel economy, the wet grip and braking were terrible. The ride comfort left a lot to be desired, too. I switched to proper summer (Conti PremiumContact 7) and winter (Michelin Alpin 5) tires as soon as possible.

Poor handling in wet and low comfort

Solid grip when dry, OK comfort, however, very significant drawback of this tire is mileage - barely lasted me 20,000 km, very soft sidewall with multiple bulges at the end of life, very shallow tread at start (about 6mm) and very soft - reached about 3mm in 19,000 km. Very bad tire, do NOT recommend to anyone.

It's a good tire, and reliable

My ID. Buzz has standard mounted EcoContact 6Q's on 20" rims. The tires feel both comfy and quiet with low road noise on most surfaces along with very little harshness on rough surfaces. Unfortunately the positive things to say end here. The tires are scarily bad at handling wet roads. At highway speeds the sudden micro-aqua/hydroplaning, even on very thin film of water, will certainly wake you up, if not the understeering at city speeds. In the dry the performance is at least acceptable but with very little steering feedback. Also the tire corners poorly, feeling squirmy and unable to handle both the weight and power of the car. As I've only driven 2500km (1600miles) my final verdict will have to wait, but for now I'm not impressed.

These tires are dangerous! My BMW X1 U11 25e came with OEM 19" EcoContact 6Qs...from the very first kilometers driven I knew they had poor grip. No matter dry or wet, but when its wet it gets dangerous...hard braking not possible at all: abs comes on, car is literally uncontrollable and starts sliding and all other safety features on the car comes on. Surprisingly they perform well in heavy rains, but not sure if that's due to the tire or that I am driving slow.
Ride quality and noise are pretty good, wear too...I believe it will be impossible to wear these out. Worst tire ever to come out of Continental factory.
I have other cars equipped with eco tires (mainly Bridgestone Turanza Enlitens), but none is that bad.
If you have to choose - NEVER get these tires

They’re not really suitable for anything more than leisurely driving. They’re very soft and lack structural rigidity. On any bend taken at even a slightly higher speed – nothing out of the ordinary – you can immediately feel the tire deforming. Nor do they last as long as you’d expect from a Michelin. They won’t last another 3,000 ml.
