For its new E-Class, Mercedes-Benz is again counting on Continental’s original equipment expertise and factory-fitting the vehicle with EcoContact 6 Q tyres. This tyre model was developed for exceptionally energy-efficient driving with optimised noise levels. It delivers a range of benefits including a long service life and low energy consumption. To see the E-Class through the cold season, Mercedes-Benz has also approved Continental WinterContact TS 860 S tyres.
Continental developed the EcoContact 6 Q for exceptionally energy-efficient driving – for a diverse range of vehicle models, regardless of their drive type. This is achieved thanks to a special rubber compound that reduces energy absorption through the tyre while the vehicle is in motion and, in turn, reduces friction and rolling resistance. Continental’s developers have also improved the tread of the EcoContact 6 Q, which has helped reduce rolling noise. In addition to short braking distances, the tyre offers exceptional grip on dry and wet roads, as well as excellent cornering stability even at high speeds
WinterContact TS 860 S – for maximum safety on mud and snow
When the weather turns cold and wet, Continental recommends the WinterContact TS 860 S, which is available from Mercedes-Benz dealerships and tyre dealers. This winter tyre model ensures precise handling on dry and wet roads in cold temperatures, whilst also delivering solid grip on snowy ground. As a result, it provides reliable braking performance and a high level of safety on the road in winter.
