Ranked #19 of 21
Finishing 19th out of 21 competitors, the Continental EcoContact 6 tire was deemed to have a 'Satisfactory' final rating. Despite its lower ranking, it notably excelled in certain disciplines, showcasing the best performance in exterior noise, comfort, and rolling resistance. The tire demonstrated commendable strengths, such as short braking distances on dry roads, low rolling resistance, and very good mileage. However, it was not without its drawbacks, which included limited aquaplaning reserves, extended braking distances on wet surfaces, delayed steering response, and a tendency to understeer. This mixed performance underlines its particular suitability for consumers prioritizing comfort, noise level, and fuel efficiency over aggressive wet surface handling.
