Product description & features
The Continental Eco Contact 6 SSR is a Run Flat variant of the Continental Eco Contact 6 - a summer tyre designed for maximum fuel efficiency.
Using a tailor-made pattern, the Continental Eco Contact 6 SSR offers enhanced performance in both wet and dry conditions. Using an innovative asymmetric tread and sipe geometry the tyre maintains contact with the road at all times, increasing handling safety.
Continental's Green Chili™ 2.0 compound found in the Eco Contact 6 SSR, offers increased fuel efficiency through decreased rolling resistance. Longevity is also improved with this unique compound, as it adapts to the road surface leading to a reduction in rubber lost.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
