Continental ContiEcoContact 5 165/70 R14 85T

The new Performance-Eco tire.Combining short braking distances on wet and dry roads with low rolling resistance has in the past always been considered extremely problematic. Europe's leading tire manufacturer Continental has now launched a product which resolves this problem with apparent ease - the new ContiEcoContact™ 5. The tire engineers did, h... moreowever, have to tread new ground in terms of all the tire elements involved - casing, compound, tire contour and tread pattern design - in order to achieve the high level of progress.The main target conflicts when reducing rolling resistance relate to the safety-relevant characteristics of a tire. This means that the conflict between rolling resistance and handling can be influenced via the design, whilst the tire compound can assist in the problem area of low rolling resistance and short braking distances in the wet, changing the tire contour allows mileage performance to be enhanced, and the tread pattern can have a positive effect on braking characteristics in the wet. The sum total of the potential improvements helps the new tire to achieve a considerably better overall performance with even more balanced driving characteristics. The engineers at Continental therefore focused on all these areas in order to meet the high requirements made on the new tire for compact cars and large saloons.

Designed especially for great fuel efficiency and safe, responsive handling, the Continental ContiEcoContact 5 saves you money while reducing your impact on the environment. Featuring an optimised rolling resistance that improves the fuel efficiency of the pattern and an enhanced compound that achieves greater adhesion to wet roads for short, safe... morebraking distances, the Continental ContiEcoContact 5 delivers a rare combination of fuel saving and responsive braking. Specially designed tread pattern that combines fuel efficiency with wet grip performance Minimises energy loss at the compound level to save you money on long distance drives Additives and optimised tread lug edges on the pattern improve the wet braking distance and handling responsiveness Available in 14"-18" and 20" rim sizes with Continental features such as ContiSeal technology and run flat capabilities
