15.000 km in front (traction) wheels and they are close to the 3 mm wear indicator. The tyres tread depth was smaller than usual when new, and they have lasted for a short time. I won´t buy again. Normal drive, highway, 110hp vw golf.

came OEM fit on a M135i F40 (just for bmw to save some CO2 grams when they homologation them) as the other reviewer said and i cannot agree more with him. it is clearly not the right type of tyre for this type of car. it’s just not designed for powerful cars. it’s just a confortable tyre for standard model with not too much power to handle. it simply ruins the joy of the car. it’s a disaster. thanks good the car is super good and has xdrive plus limited slip differential that are somehow countering how poor these tyres are. if you drive normally it’s ok but as soon as you want to play a little bit the tyres are just immediately giving up asking you to speed down. horrible grip during acceleration because of its ver low rolling resistance. you just can’t use the full potential of the car on the first meters. i’m sure i can’t reproduce the same 0-100 with such tyre. fast cornering is a no go. wet grip on fast curves is ridiculous. they should have at least put some continental sport contact. but i guess that was not possible because bmw need to lower the co2 stats. still on such a car it is horrible. now i’m wearing winter LM001 bridgestone and i can feel the grip difference on acceleration. such a joy. so more response during acceleration. as soon as winter is over i will have to switch to michelin pilot sport 4s if i find any * otherwise i’ll go for pilot sport 4* that are for sure better than those horrible exocontact

Came on M135i F40. Clearly the wrong tyre for such a car. Replaced after 1000 miles as it loses control in the dry at 25-40mph making quick turns.

Got them on my 2008 Honda Civic, the rear tyres are like brand new still, but the frinta are needing replaced already. I've done less than 4000 miles in them. Really poor wear if on the drive wheels

Great on fuel efficiency, dry grip and brake distance is excellent for an Eco tyre. On wet conditions eco 6 is also perfect for an eco tyre. Better than the previous eco 5 especially on dry braking.

Good tyre but a bit pricey. Wear quick during motorway driving, lasted around 10000-12000 miles.

Dry grip is ok, but the wet grip terrible. Especially under acceleration and braking.

My car a 2014 SEAT TOLEDO 1.6 TDI has a firm suspension (semi rigid axle on the back wheels) coupled with low profile oem tyres (215/45/16) made for an uncomfortable ride. I tried changing to Falken ziex310 ecorun with deeper profile (205/50/16) but, although grip and road feedback were brilliant, comfort, noise and fuel consumption were bad. So i changed to contis ecocontact6. These tyres do improve ride quality significantly over bumps and potholes. I also saw a 10% better fuel consumption compared to the Falkens. BUT road feedback is terrible. Nowhere near the Falkens. Can't imagine anyone using them for spirited driving. Depending on how fast or slow they wear, i will consider if i will buy them again.

I realise mine will not be a thorough review, however I feeI could still share my limited experience of the continental ecocontact 6 with you. The car was a rental BMW F40 120d xdrive (MY2019/2020) with msport package, which I am not sure comes with upgraded suspensions on the 1 series. Tyres were 225/40/18. While I only had the car for two days, I was "lucky" to put it through its paces during storm Ciara, on the 10th of Feb in Edinburgh. I drove through some dry, damp, and wet while it was raining and snowing. Bear in mind there was no snow on the ground, however it was quite cold at 2 degrees Celsius and perceived -5 (according to google at least). I regret not having an IR thermometer with me at the time, however it is safe to say that the tyres were considerably colder than ideal both in city driving and short motorway stints. Being eco summer tyres, I was surprised by their positive behaviour on cold, wet roads. Today's tyre technology is remarkable. While there wasn't enough water to test the aquaplaning resistance at speed, I did try booting the accelerator pedal to see if the tyres would struggle to maintain traction. Within the road legal limits, and without looking like a complete hooligan it was impossible to upset the car. This is to say that driving according to the conditions one could get through a mild winter with summer tyres, and the ecocontact 6 seems to be no exception. In terms of comfort I found the 120d more compliant than other msport package bimmers (2,3,5 series) mostly wearing Pirelli P7 Blue, and Goodyear F1 A3. However, it could just be because of softer suspensions. The car was probably a little too stiff for what I think it sets out to be, but absolutely acceptable and comfortable by my standards. The new 1 series doesn't strike my like a performance vehicle of any sorts and somehow seems more cramped in the front than before. As for the handling, and feedback, nothing noteworthy. The feedback is lacking and steering a little vague on all the bimmer I have driven. The F30 3 series being the least disappointing. Granted I only driven F30 318i and G20 320i. So perhaps the good kit can still be found on the 40i's and M cars, but I am sceptical. The ecocontact 6 did not seem to mute the steering further. Good tyre for touring, fits the car and satisfies the need of most of us. DISCLAIMER: the car had 2255 miles when I collected it, I assume all the mileage was done on this set of tyres. I drove some 50-100 miles. The car had xdrive, bmw lingo for AWD, which very sporadically redistributed power, but never because of sudden lost of traction. This was hard to notice, but still present. Finally, why I may have said that summer tyres CAN make it through winter, it is not advisable in Scottish weather. These tyres performed just fine when they were new and had full tread. However the grooves do get narrower as the tread is reduced. (Any) premium all season tyres for those who don't drive big miles would be my recommendation, especially for places like Scotland, where summer temperature are contained. Michelin CrossClimate Plus should not compromise warm/dry performance too much either.

These are my first Continental tyres and will almost certainly be my last. I collected my Astra ST 1.6 diesel here in Singapore in mid Dec 19 and while it isn't the most powerful car on the planet it can certainly give the common-or-garden 1.6-litre Hyundai Avante or Civic a run for its money when it needs to. But these tyres undo everything that's right about the Astra. They're noisy on anything but freshly laid asphalt and are very eager to transmit surface imperfections while ironically not giving the driver much information on what the road beneath is doing. Just yesterday I had to execute a pretty quick U-turn in a rainstorm and the squeal that issued from them was louder than a pair of cut cats. They also look pretty ugly in high profile form, what with their tubby sidewalls and not much rim protection. Apparently they're cheap and bad enough that even our local tyre dealers wouldn't trade them in brand new... So I'll just live with them until they wear down (which shouldn't take long given they started out with only 6mm of tread...)

Continental doesn't even have a complaint section on their site only a Technical Questions section, so no room for complaints.

Living in a mountaineous area with 11 kms of gravel road to pass and usually snow in the winter, I chose a Fiat Panda 4x4 as second car. It came factory-equipped with Continental WinterContact and happily spent the winter and most of the spring with them.

Summer came so I bought a set of 4 EcoContact 6 tires and the nightmare started.

Today I had my sixth puncture in less than 4 months, below 7.000 kms. Two times tires evenn needed to be replaced as the side wall got a 4-5 cms long cut. I am completey pissed off now!

Paid alltogether for 6 rather expensive EcoContact tires that proved to be completely useless – whereas the marketing bla-bla on their website never mentions thin side walls or that these tires would be suitable only for the smoothest asphalt.

Many years and kilometers spent on the same route with different tires and/or cars without any issues. Other tire set on the same car: Continental ContiCrossContact Winter; on other cars: a 30 years old Fiat Panda 4x4 on Vredestein Quatrac AllSeason; Dacia Logan on some cheap tires; Land River Defender on BFG AllTerrain KO1, Michelin Latitude.

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).
