After three years driving, 10.000 km, the tires no longer flake. They have stabilized. The tread depth was 6 mm when new. Now it is 5 mm on the front tires and 5.5 mm on the rear tires.. 90% driven in Milan City, few miles on the motorway and a few on A-roads • average 40.6 MPG. • 6,636 miles / 164 gallons of petrol."

My recent experience with eco tires is a bunch of ePrimacy, not on the same car.
Although the 6Q behave as designed on dry roads, I find them noticeably worse than eprimacy everywhere.
The positives: Road noise is very good and highway driving is pleasant on good tarmac, good centering. Consumption is good. They drive well on gravel/dirt and can take a bit of torture with rocks (if that's your thing).
They can also handle the S.European summers, did some 400+km trips @130km/h under 40C ambient, didn't notice anything weird.
the bad:
The steering feel is bad, I have a floating sensation.
At the slightest drop of water tires become dangerous.
On bad city roads, ABS kicks in constantly (dry or wet).
I am swapping them out asap, won't drive a second winter on those. imo much worse than eprimacy and even the latter are not good tires (all eco touring tires annoy me).
These tires were factory fitted to my 2023 Suzuki Swace (this is a Toyota Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 hybrid). Very low rolling resistance tires so they helped with making my car really economical: 4,8 l/100 km. They lasted 65.000 kilometers. My only complaint is the high level of noise from the tires.
Just replaced them with Michelin Primacy 5 Energy and the Michelins are so much quieter.
Not suited for car and rims.
Had these on my VW ID.3 with a 95T index-weird for an EV, right? It really should be 99V XL for a heavy electric vehicle. After 3 years, l've got used to them, but these tires are strictly for city driving, and that's it.
Steering feedback is heavily muted, as if there's a carpet between the tire and the road. The extremely soft sidewalls make the car float like a boat on water. Cornering is tragic-you can completely forget about taking sharp turns fast.
You actually have to drive 10 to 20 km/h slower compared to normal tires.
Noise levels are average. On the plus side, rolling resistance is very low, so fuel/energy consumption is great-but it's definitely not worth the trade-off.
Fun fact: you can find the PremiumContact 7 for the exact same price.
OEM choice/ replaced with exactly the same tires due to wear
A well balanced tire.
They do everything well, but nothing truly outstanding.
Good wear rate, they are on a heavy EV.
