205/55 R17 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6 rated 53%
while driving a Nissan Kicks E Power
Grip is definitely not really good, especially in the wet. Often got some wheel spin at the front wheel, which was concerning. The worst thing is tire wear, the front wheels were only 3.3mm left after only driven for 6500 miles.

while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer
Only have them for a few days, but initial impressions are great.
Grip and handling are very good, very quiet, and soft/smooth over road cracks. Recommended.

These were bought to replace a front set of Maxxis AP3 which wore out due to bad alignment. So far they've handled everything thrown at them. They've handled motorway slogs in the summer, rural Scottish single track road in the autumn and winter and our steep exit from the estate in the pouring rain with no problems whatsoever.
So far absolutely no complaints in about 3000 miles.
Definitely consider buying these for the rears when they wear out.

Dry grip okay, but wet grip and aquaplaning terrible especially below 12 C. I dont reccomend it.

Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
...about 6 months later and I must add to my first review that I am sure that my Pirellis have saved my life on a couple of occasions, once because of the ability of these tires to stop the car in time and another time because these tires do not know what a skid is.

It is truly incredible how safe it is to turn the car as you please with these tires.

I think it is rare that a company comes out with a product that exceeds even its own company promises because even the company's own advertisements could not adequately appreciate its own work.

Thank God for Tyre Reviews that convinced me to buy these tires.

while driving a Volkswagen Taigo
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
Horrible tire. Dont buy it. I used them 2 winter seasons. They have aprox 20.000 km. Worn out after 2 seasons only. See the photos below how they look like. They have several spots with flat surface. I dont understand how they could reach also the best performance in the wet condition as wet handling was average. If I compare this tyres with Polaris 6 (used on 2nd car), this tyre is piece of...
They are winner in the shortest lifetime. How this can be a premium tyre for such money? Disaster.

Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Just bought 4 tyres for my Renault Grand Scenic 3 MPV. I have to say that the first thing I noticed is the comfort. Tyres are extremely comfort. Handling is surprisingly very good (according to my previous tyres). There's no snow yet so I can't write my experience on that matter. But considering first impresions and the price I paid (100€ per tyre) I'd surely buy them again.

while driving a SEAT Arona
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Car is new to me.. So I replaced some GY Efficient Grip 2's half worn with these.
I have no other references on this Arona FR (My previous car an Ibiza TSi 95 was used with an array of different tyres which I liked the Hankook VP4's best on)
Basically its somewhat similar to my Ibiza despite the higher position and heavier body. I have no complaints with the Turanza 6 (Enliten) I don't know how the wear will pan out but I don't do big mileages so thats fine. So - specific test roundabouts and corners prove it to be a decent tyre and I feel safe with them - similarly cornering and braking in the wet feels planted and safe. In fact the whole handling is comparable with my more standard Ibiza with 195/55/16's...So the Turanza 6 is no slouch - but I am sure some other makes may be slightly better in some ways...I will therfor probably experiment on my next change and possibly try the VP4's on it..But will check here to see what looks good first

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
40000 kms done in 2 years, wear is regular, mechanic told me there's space to do 10000kms more.
Tyres work great on both dry/wet conditions. Handling is always very good. Noise is acceptable. Pricey but would definitely buy again, and I will.
