Continental ContiEcoContact EP
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Fuel efficient performance
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Continental ContiEcoContact EP is a touring, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The tire promotes excellent summer compound and the symmetric tread design boosts the summer weather performance. The durable compound elements enhance the heat build-up resistance, optimizing the tire's overall rubber flexibility in high-heat temperatures. The tread design's better road-to-rubber ratio enhances the grip in dry and wet weather situations. The wider circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint. They allow the tire to avoid hydroplaning and to upgrade the wet weather performing ability.
The symmetric tread design upgrades the controllability as well. These tread elements enable the close surface contact at all times, improving the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern increases the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, enhancing the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. This combination guarantees the driver's better control over the vehicle at all times.
The tread design and the summer compound prevent heat build-up and enhance the traction, in order to decrease the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel intake levels. Lowering the rolling resistance enables the tire to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This guarantees a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The ContiEcoContact EP upgrades the comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The ideal footprint manages to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. This results in a quiet and comfortable driving experience, guaranteeing the passengers' driving enjoyment.
