Maximum fuel efficiency thanks to improved component geometry and efficient silica distribution. The EcoContactTM 6 strikes an optimal balance between tyre size and components distribution. The high-tech compound provides robust connections between the silica and the rubber. This allows an optimal adaptation to varying road conditions, which ultimately improves the tyre's rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
Enhanced mileage due to new Green Chili™ 2.0 compound. The advanced Green Chili™ 2.0 compound adapts to the road surface, which leads to a reduction in the rubber loss throughout its life cycle. As a result, mileage is increased.
Optimised grip and handling experience. The EcoContact™ 6 offers a tailor-made pattern, resulting in the best compromise between dry and wet performance. It further increases the safety in handling situations such as lane changes. And due to its innovative asymmetric rib and sipe geometry, the tyre always keeps the contact with the road.

The front tyres have worn really quickly and i dont drive the car hard or do any hard braking. So after 7857 miles they have approximately 3 mm left. Which isnt great the back tyres are still like new. Michelin next time i think you cant beat them.
Would I buy the same tyres: Maybe

Why do so many car manufacturers fit this tyre as O/E fitment in Northern European markets as it is marketed as a 'summer' tyre?
I had the earlier 'EcoContact 4' fitted as O/E on my previous Fiat Panda Cross. In cold weather/winter conditions those tyres were truly awful, so changed them as soon as I could to a certain Finnish maker of all-season and winter tyres. What a transformation!
I have just taken delivery of a new Fiat Panda 4x4 and my heart sank when I discovered it was fitted with Continental's 'EcoContact 6' summer tyres.
I was too late to test them on snow-covered roads (would I have wanted to?), but on cold/wet Tarmac (less that 6deg C) the tyres feel very nervous and produce a lot of road noise.
Again, as soon as I can I will replace the Contis with something more suited to our changeable and increasingly extreme climate.
Would I buy the same tyres: Absolutely not

Noisy. Awful grip in the wet/cold. Just plain dangerous on snow or ice. Only 5.5mm of tread on brand new tyres. My Panda 4x4 has only covered about 14,000km but the tyres already have only 3.5 - 4.0mm of tread remaining so are already very close to the 'safe' recommended minimum of 3mm
