Continental have developed the EcoContact 3 as a summer tyre for smaller to mid-sized cars. It is aimed at improving braking performance and reducing running costs.

Available in a range of fitments for smaller and mid-sized vehicles.

Braking Performance On Wet & Dry

The EcoContact 3 is described as designed to significantly improve braking distances, with Continental stating improvements of up to one car length.

That shorter stopping distance is intended to improve safety by reducing the space required to come to a halt on both wet and dry surfaces. This feature targets everyday driving situations for family and mid-size vehicles.

Protection Against Aquaplaning 

Continental states the tyre provides outstanding protection against aquaplaning.

The tyre’s tread design helps evacuate water to maintain contact with the road surface, which supports grip and vehicle stability in heavy rain. This maintains handling and control when driving through standing water.

Fuel-saving Design To Lower Running Costs

The EcoContact 3 is marketed as a fuel- and money-saving tyre.

Its construction and design are intended to reduce fuel consumption during normal driving, helping to lower operating costs for owners of smaller and mid-sized cars.
