Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV vs Continental EcoContact 6 — Compared

“What’s your opinion about eco tires like the continental eco contact 6, Michelin energy saver, etc. My car came with the continental eco contact 6 and i found them average on the dry. But, in the wet they felt bad, and in the rain especially around here in mountainous roads, they felt bad while turning and slowing down for a corner soon after i replaced them with the crossclimate 2 and still thinking about what I’m going to do with them if i put them on again on summer or sell them and keep the cross climate on.

“Experience with stock Continental EcoContact 6 tyres & moving to All-Seasons? Hey everyone, We recently had a puncture after clipping a rock on the exit of a car park, which has led me down a bit of a rabbit hole researching replacement options. It seems like the stock Continental EcoContact 6s get quite a lot of mixed-to-negative feedback online, particularly when it comes to wet weather performance and durability. I was curious what everyone's real-world experience has been with them so far? Are they really as mediocre in the wet as the reviews suggest, or do they hold up fine under normal driving? We've only had our buzz a week, so out experience is limited and only driven in dry conditions. Additionally, has anyone made the switch to dedicated all-season tyres on their Buzz, such as the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 or the Michelin CrossClimate 2? I'd love to know how they affect range, cabin noise, and overall grip, especially coming from the factory eco-tyres. We live in SW England where we get a lot of rain and occasional snow in the winter. Cheers!”

“Used Continental EcoContact 6 I have recently bought a G31 from 2022 which came with winter tires. Therefor I have bought summer tires which are used and were advertised as 5,5mm profile depth on each tire. I have measured each tire and am wondering which tire should be installed on which side and if front or rear would be better. Unfortunately there is no mark to show on which position they were on the previous owners car. Starting from outside moving inside I have measured the following millimetres: Tire 1: 5.51, 5.69, 5.85, 5.36 Tire 2: 5.40, 5.58, 5.71, 5.33 Tire 3: 5.59, 5.69, 5.79, 5.39 Tire 4: 5.38, 5.55, 5.73, 5.34 Seeing the numbers I would go with tire 2 and 4 on one axis und 1 and 3 on the other. Would that be a good idea and where should each pair go, front or rear? Is this even important at this low difference? I am happy for any advise. Thanks. Read more”
