Description

EcoContact™ 6 – the next standard improved by German technology.

The new Green Chili™ generation features the latest and most advanced compound technology in the Eco range.

Maximum fuel efficiency:

The EcoContact™ 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 balance between dry and wet performance. It further increases the safety in handling situations, such as lane changes. And thanks to its innovative asymmetric rib and sipe geometry, the tyre always keeps the contact with the road.

  • Maximum fuel efficiency
  • Fine-tuned grip and handling experience
  • Improved mileage due to new Green Chili™ 2.0 compound

    Braking feels secure

    Very quiet on tarmac. The EcoContact 6 made my commute noticeably more relaxed. Had them fitted last month.

  • Peter H.27.12.2025

    Fitted and forgotten

    Good tyre overall. Would have liked a bit more feedback through the steering.

  • Valentina F.08.12.2025

    Solid summer tyre

    Very quiet on tarmac. The EcoContact 6 made my commute noticeably more relaxed. No squirm even on hot asphalt. Could be a touch quieter on rough tarmac.

  • Matteo G.06.10.2025
    3.0 / 5

    Pleasantly surprised

    Handles standing water better than my previous set. Feel much safer in autumn rain. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

  • Freja R.23.06.2025
    3.0 / 5

    Pleasantly surprised

    They're okay. Comfortable enough, but I expected a bit sharper turn-in. Stable and precise in summer heat.
