ContiEcoContact 3

 ContiEcoContact 3

1992: Launch of ContiEcoContact: a new generation of environmentally friendly tyres with a focus on optimising rolling resistance to cut fuel consumption.

1997: The ContiEcoContact EP: more durable and reduces fuel consumption even further.

2003: The new ContiEcoContact 3: reduces braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces by up to the length of a vehicle.

Technical details

Circumferentially stiff tread ribs ensures excellent braking performance as well as precise handling and directional stability.

"Grip" edges and incisions in the outside shoulder provide for additional traction, especially in wet curves.

The optimal arrangement of wide circumferential grooves in the middle of the tread and pronounced lateral grooves on the inside shoulder ensure very good expulsion of water. Optimum siping offers maximum grip on the wet roads and a comfortable ride.
