Continental tyres OE on Mercedes-Benz GLC

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC is available with Continental tyres as standard. Mercedes-Benz will equip all available drive types – petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid models – with EcoContact 6 Q, a tyre Continental says offers exceptional efficiency: long service life, low fuel consumption and very low rolling noise.

The tyre maker shares that it developed the EcoContact 6 Q to provide “exceptionally energy-efficient driving” for a diverse range of vehicles with various drive types. It achieved this by employing a rubber compound that reduces energy absorption through the tyre while the vehicle is in motion and, in turn, reduces friction and rolling resistance. Continental also reduced rolling noise by optimising the tyre tread. EcoContact 6 Q is also characterised by its exceptionally long service life, outstanding braking performance and superior handling – all thanks to its specially modified blocks, sipes and side grooves.

Optional WinterContact TS 850 P

EcoContact 6 Q is a summer tyre and will serve as a year-round fitment for many. But for those whose travels require more cold-weather grip, Manufacturer-approved Continental WinterContact TS 850 P tyres are available as a GLC option from Mercedes-Benz dealers. The EcoContact 6 Q is also available from dealers should owners of this compact SUV wish to fit OEM-approved tyres when needing to replace the original set.
