The most efficient tires from Continental: EcoContact 7 and EcoContact 7 S

The new EcoContact 7 and EcoContact 7 S models offer improved driving efficiency, quieter rolling noise and optimized handling. Electric vehicles in particular benefit from the innovations, but combustion vehicles can also reduce their fuel consumption with these tires.

The new summer tires predominantly achieve class A in rolling resistance and classes A and B in wet braking and rolling noise. This is made possible by the combination of Green Chili 3.0 rubber compound and Smart Energy Casing technology:
  • New materials in the tire carcass, inner layer and tire wall reduce internal friction.
  • Lower rolling resistance ensures greater energy efficiency.
  • Another innovative feature is the “Aerodimple” structure. Inspired by golf, small indentations on the tire sidewall reduce air turbulence. As a result, the vehicle consumes less energy.

Quiet rolling in urban areas

Continental has developed the Silent Pattern profile to minimize road noise in cities:

  • Optimized spacing and angle of the tread blocks reduce rolling noise.
  • Particularly effective at low speeds (approx. 50 km/h), for more driving comfort and less noise pollution.
  • Adaptation for different driving needs

The two models differ in their optimized rubber compounds:

  • EcoContact 7: Focus on maximum energy efficiency.
  • EcoContact 7 S: Improved wet grip and handling, greater steering precision and more grip.

Both models bear the “EV-compatible logo”, which highlights their suitability for electric vehicles. They have already received original equipment approvals from manufacturers such as BYD, Mercedes and Volkswagen.

Conclusion: New Continental tires save fuel and are quieter! The new EcoContact 7 and EcoContact 7 S tires stand for efficiency, comfort and environmental friendliness. Thanks to innovative technologies, they offer lower energy consumption, quieter operation and improved driving characteristics. They are the ideal choice for drivers looking for sustainable performance combined with maximum safety.
