What is good?
What is bad?
The tread depth is ridiculously shallow. When I collected my new Fiat Panda Cross the tread depth was barely 6mm deep...and that was on brand new tyres on a brand new car.
Comments
As well as the shallow tread depth already mentioned, I would argue that this tyre is not really suited for the role of O/E tyre for fitment to vehicles destined for northern European markets as our road and air temperatures are far too low from late-autumn through to early-spring. It's quite clearly marketed as a 'premium touring summer tyre', for which I'm sure it is eminently suited, but it isn't one for all-year around use.

Continental EcoContact 6' owner 18 October, 2020 03:56
Compared to the previous incarnations of this Tyre the apparent lack of tread gives it a 'half worn' look. The almost flush Continental Logo and unattractive swirling 'decoration' only add to that impression. Yes!,............ i'm sure it performs well but it just looks horrible.
