[My_Feedback] : CONTI ECO CONTACT CP

[Cy_car]

Hi all,

Went down to StamfordTyre sale last week(9-12 Oct) and changed a new set of tyres - Continental CONTI ECO CONTACT CP). Changed all 4 tyres for $232($58/tyre) which was a good deal(imho).

Read abt these wheels, as it is supposed fuel-economical as well(from manufacturer). So for those who are into adding fuel additives, HVS, fuel-capsules... this is something to consider).

 

For me, the price was the strongest attraction to change to these. Bottom-line counts most.

[Axela525]

That's wat I noe....because of compatibility....

[Etnt]

Just be more careful in the wet, especially with the recent weather. These tires came stock on mine and I just had them changed to yoko es100.

 

Dry is ok, wet is

[Assassin]

Agreed. Am not particularly fond of these brand of tyres...esp for their handling in the wet.

How about Pirelli P-Zero Nero or Rosso?

Quite keen to get good level A or level A+ tyres after my stock ones wears out.

[Assassin]

These are quite good but ex. They also tend to wear out faster but their their grip is .

 

You can also try Potenza S-03 or Pilot Sports if you are looking for A+ tyres.

Did you check the manufacturing date?

 

Not to pour cold water or scare you... 2 of my friends bought tyres from sales without realizing that they were manufactured 2 years ago. 1 of them was driving along ECP when one of the tyres exploded. When I saw the tyres, they appeared to have dry "wrinkles" along the grooves.

 

If they are manufactured in 01 or 02, my advice is DRIVE SLOW!!!!!!!

[Cool_jazz]

How's the noise? How do I know when to change my stocks or new tyres?

[Seaweed]

Well...I'm a supporter is yokohama A539...it's cheap but very good both dry and wet...but then you must not mind the noise because it's extremely noisy tires...

[Cool_jazz]

Actually I mind the noise and will like to have my cake and eat it.

i.e. I want a good handling tyre both in the wet and the dry but without excessive noise. Any such tyres?

[Toledosun]

I've just changed to the Bridgestone Turanzas GR80s and they should meet your requirements .

[Seaweed]

In humble opinion...I doubt this is possible...when there's grip...there's definitely friction...so noise can be lower but cannot be remove...and there's a limit to how much the noise level can be reduce due to the nature of physics.
