Continental ContiEcoContact 5 225/55 R17 97 W ContiSeal

Having used the Continental on my last 2 cars, it seemed a no brainier to continue with what has served me well. I have not been disappointed. As a 65 year old man, I have had many vehicles, with a fair mix of tyres from an assortment of suppliers and brands. I am aware of the benefits gained from Motorsport in designing the modern radial tyre. Having found a brand with a good mix of qualities, I see no need to change. ***** Read more Collapse

I would definitely recommend. I previously used the Michelin Energy Saver and immediately noticed that Continental tyres are much quieter, honestly inaudible. They stick to the road perfectly, driving on the same route and corners, I feel much more comfortable and safer with Continental tyres. Overcoming bends at high speeds does not cause feeling that at any moment you can fall out of the track. However it's hard to tell about suppression of road inequalities because I changed shock absorbers a few weeks ago and generally I avoid holes and bumps. I do not judgea look of the tyre because it is like to evaluate the appearance of the schock absorbers ... I drive peacefully, within the limits of 90km / h - 130 km / h mostly with cruise control with constant speed. I had no opportunity to measure the actual fuel usage (with full tank) but looking at the results on the route is less than about 0.5 l - 0.8 l compared to Michelin. I believe that these tyres areperfect for my driving style and I'm very happy. Read more Collapse

I drove almost 15000 km on ContiEcoContact 5 tyres, where driving in the city constitutes more than 90% of my car usage. This tyre is highly recommended due to low friction and meekness. It seems to me that the profit can be seen in fuel consumption - small difference but better this than nothing! At high temperatures of asphalt you can observe a slight tendency to slip when braking or cornering, but the tire immediately gets back to its advantages. When driving on wet surface, tyre drains water well and gives a sense of stability. I gave a rating of 5 for handling, as compared to the Michelin Kami, it falls a little worse. When driving on the highway (approx. 160 km / h), tyres are quiet at dry surface and stick to the road very well - give a sense of security. If I had to choose again, I would pick them with no hesitation. Read more Collapse

I drove on Continental ContiEcoContact 5 tyres and they served me very well, I can confirm that after driving about 20 thousand miles. In every situation I had to deal with, the tyre behaved stable and predictable. After about 15-20 thousand km, tread wear of the front tire was 2 mm and 1 mm in the rear which I do not judge because I have no reference point if it's a lot or a little. In fact these are first summer tyres I purchased. In general, I wanted to make them durable as long as it's possible and I think that's brilliant result. Tyres behave well on wet surface. I think I can easily recommend these tyres. Read more Collapse

I first tested the tyre with low rolling resistance, which ensures very good control of a car on a wet and a high driving comfort. Tyre performs well on our potholed roads. Also one of the few in which the rolling resistance is noticeably smaller than on normal tyres (and consumption in any situation depends more on driving style and traffic jams than the tyres ...). Appearance is not sensational, but driving on them is great. Besides, just think - cheap pseudotyres made in China sometimes has aggressive tread pattern, but provide less security than the old, worn branded tyres ... Read more Collapse
