Continental Eco Contact 5 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 74 reviews

Driver feedback on the Continental EcoContact 5 is mixed overall. Many higher-scoring reviews praise its low rolling resistance/fuel economy, strong dry grip and braking, and in some cases excellent longevity. However, a large share of mid/low scores report poor wet and cold-weather traction (including aquaplaning and winter use), along with frequent complaints about road noise on coarse surfaces and a soft/vague sidewall feel that reduces steering precision.

Had these fitted to replace P6000s on my Jaguar S Type. What a difference!
Full marks all round. So quiet on most road surfaces and a real feeling of grip.
Precise handling and total confidence.

Brilliant, so glad I waited for them to become available.
