Have these fitted from stock on BMW x1 and after travelling 15700 miles/ 19 months the front are down to 2mm and back 4mm. They grip but rain and wet found them lacking and will be changing all 4 this week as a result. Deeply disappointed in them and why fitted from factory I will never understand but that’s what they used. I am in my 50’s and don’t race or power the car hard so I hope this honest appraisal of theses tyres makes buyer aware and look a little closer at alternatives as I am having to do this now.

These tires came on my new Suzuki S-Cross (AWD.) I was very happy with them until I tore the sidewall on one of them after 10k km. They are great on asphalt, and very quiet; I drive fast and aggressively and they never let me down, no slipping, no aquaplaning, nothing negative to comment. However, they are not good if you habitually drive on gravel or any terrain with slightly sharper stones. Since I do that very often, I'm now getting five AT tires which will hopefully last much longer (though fuel consumption and noise will be much worse than with the Conti's).

This tyre is Eco Contact 6 SSR BMW labelled which is OE tyre for MINI countryman cooper S ALL 4 sell in China.
According to my oberservation, the treadwear is 440 and the traction is AA which is different to the non brand-labelled tyre or other brand proved tyre.BMW or MINI may customize of this tyre with Continental and improved the traction, handling and reduced wear.

This tyre has good handling in urban and mountain tarmac in Beijing.The support in curves is good and not easy to make some noise to remind driver so this tyre can support the spirited driving although it is not belongs to the sports tyre at all.I think the Premium Contact 6 is placed at higher level than this.

I gave the lower mark on noise.This runflat tyre is likely to produce more noise than others like PZ4 RSC for BMW X5 21 inch wheel.(The countryman has poorer level of NVH)

I may buy the UHP non-runflat tyre for Countryman to increase its sportiness and reduce the rolling noise.

By far the worst tyre I drove in the last 10 years.
Noise and ride comfort are all right.
Grip in dry is ok if you take it slow but as soon as you speed up in corners, the tyre struggles to keep you on the road.
Wet grip and wet breaking are the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life. At first I could not believe the car would drift sideways that easy at normal acceleration on a wet road, figured that that part of tarmac must have been greasy or something. Then tried the same on 4-5 diferent places and realized just how bad and dangerous this tyre is.
Wet breaking - ABS kicking in on maximum breaking at 30 km/h !?!
After driving it on 3 different occasions / days on wet roads, decided to get rid of the tyre after only 2.000 km I drove it.
I cannot believe such a terrible and dangerous tyre is used as an OEM and delivered as a first set you get on the car which costs over 100.000 €.
I understand it reduces CO2, but safety must be more important that CO2.
Absolutely terrible.

I am extremely pleased with the tires. Especially, you feel the full quality with its superior handling and quiet driving performance. It provides excellent balance even at high speeds and increases steering control. While the rubber compound of the tires ensures long-lasting use, it also contributes to fuel economy thanks to its low rolling resistance. Overall, these tires were an ideal choice for me for a safe and comfortable driving experience. I will also change my winter tires to Continental.

I'm so happy, because I'm finally replacing these tyres. When new, the tread depth was 6.5mm, after wear and use. Only 3mm left.
Really awful when it comes to wet driving and quite noisy. In dry they were just ok. I wouldn't recommend them at all, but most new cars came with these as oem.
Sometimes makes me think, that cheap chinese tyres would be better or same as good.

Replacing these tyres after 48.000 km and still 3.5 mm tread by Michelins. Had two punctures and found contiseal technology quite useful.

Terrible tyres, designed for rolling resistance and scrimped on all the other qualities, only 6.4 mm tread when new sidewalls very flimsy and full of dents, and mine only lasted 20 months of steady driving 18000 mls, definitely not worth what they cost, unfortunately they come as factory fit on a lot of cars and I was one of the unfortunate ones that ended up with them

They were factory fitted from new on my peugeot 2008, only lasted 20 months of steady driving 18000 mls all 4 of them had to fork out for 4 new ones which I,ve never had to before with Michelin and Goodyear tyres, also sidewalls are very flimsy and full of dents, when I first saw my car I could have cried, they looked like oversized balloons peugeot shouldn't be spoiling a great car like the new 2008 by putting that Continental eco 6Q crap on them, bet not many people buy them as replacements, they look like part worn tyres when they are new hardly any Tread on them and they tell you all that special compound crap and green chilli saying they last longer with better mileage well it's all lies, I went for Goodyear vector gen 3 all season, totally transformed my car in every respect, Avoid like a Rash.

An excellent premium tyre at budget prices. Definitely wins on fuel efficiency, low rolling resistance and higher longevity. Sadly, prices aren't as low as they were a couple years ago but they are still excellent value compared to the cheap Chinese brands littering the market in the smaller tyre sizes.

This review is for the EcoContact 6Q BMW / Merc marked variant on a new U11 X1 150kW petrol with xDrive. These are frankly the worst new OEM fit tyres I have encountered in numerous cars in well over a decade (I work in the industry). Dry grip was surprisingly poor with squeal setting in very early on mini roundabouts where no other vehicle has previously done so. A low speed (from 50km/h) emergency stop to avoid a car pulling out from a junction resulted in obvious sliding (in the dry!). Wet grip is slightly terrifying with unpredictable loss of the front end, once it goes it goes..! I have no idea how these were approved by BMW although I am sure they are have low rolling resistance.

Acquired these tires for my 2009 Ford Kuga, in the hopes for a comfortable tire...
Oh, how wrong I was.
The amount of noise in the cabin, increased tremendously!
The 18 inch tires are much more comfortable, even for their dimension difference and budget, specifically as the 18's are an unknown brand!
The dry grip is not quite there and the tire feels unstable on worn roads.
When pushed on wet roads, you have to be vigilant, because the grip will suddenly disappear.
Combined with low tread-depth, they are prone to aquaplaning...
These tires will only be used on my daughters 2015 model, when she need to tow her horses around, so she doesn't ruin her own 18" tires.
I would not recommend these for anyone, unless you only value fuel consumption...
