2019-04-04 - What is your opinion on Continental EcoContact 6 in compare to Continental Premium Contact 6? I need advice for 205/55/16 Kia Ceed '07.
2020-03-24 - Is this a run-flat
The Continental EcoContact 6 comes in various runflat sizes.
2020-05-21 - Is Continental ecocontact 6 made in Slovakia?
It is likely the Eco Contact 6 is made in multiple factories depending on size.
2023-06-14 - Are these run flat, can they be repaired if punctured by a nail?
If there are runflat versions of the EC6 they will be listed as SSR (Self Supporting Runflat) by the dealer. Generally these can be repaired using the same rules as regular tyres, a small hole in the centre 75% part of the tread and the tyre has not been run on flat means it can be repaired.
2024-02-05 - I have a BMW 218i Gran Coupe which was fitted with Continental Ecocontact 6s from new. Reviews of these tyres are not very encouraging and I am nervous of their performance in potential aquaplaning conditions. When it comes time to replace them does it make sense to fit the best possible tyres such as UUHP tyres as, whilst I won’t do any track days, will a better tyre help me in potentially dangerous situations. Would you have a recommendation as to the best possible tyre for my car which I might have remapped at some stage. Regards Andrew
Something like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 or Michelin Pilot Sport 5 might be a good choice if you plan to up the power, other wide a premium touring tyre is also worth considering. All will have better wet performance than a low rolling resistance tyre like the EcoContact 6.
