In this comparison, we will look at two summer tyres, the Continental EcoContact 6 and the Maxxis Premitra HP5. Both tyres have been tested by various sources and have their own strengths and weaknesses.


The Continental EcoContact 6 is a successor to the Continental ContiEcoContact 5 and is made in Germany. It has an overall rating of 78% on our website. According to tests conducted by Autobild, the EcoContact 6 excels in categories such as exterior noise, comfort, and rolling resistance. The tyre has a total ranking of 23 out of 51 tyres. However, autobild 2022 reports limited aquaplaning reserves, prolonged wet braking distances, and slower steering response. Autozeitung ranked the EcoContact 6 at 7th place out of 10 tyres, while ADAC gave it an 8th place out of 12 total tyres, highlighting fuel efficiency and mileage as its best features.


On the other hand, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 is a highly-rated tyre with an overall rating of 85% on our website. Autobild's tests awarded the Premitra HP5 with excellent performance in aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinal. With a ranking of 16 out of 51 total tyres, it has an edge over the Continental EcoContact 6. Autobild 2022 highlighted the tyre's exceptional safety reserves in aquaplaning situations and short wet braking distances, but also added that the tyre has understeering dry handling, limited mileage, and high rolling resistance. The Autozeitung ranking placed the Maxxis Premitra HP5 at a respectable 5th place out of 10 tyres. ADAC ranked it 3rd out of 12 total tyres and commended its longitudinal aquaplaning, dry braking, and wet circle cornering performance.


In summary, the Continental EcoContact 6 performs well in terms of noise, comfort, and rolling resistance, but falls short in aquaplaning resistance and wet braking. However, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 stands out for its exceptional aquaplaning resistance and overall better ranking in mutual tests. Both tyres have their pros and cons, with neither being a clear winner in every aspect.


As always, it is essential to consider your specific requirements when choosing a tyre. For more information and reviews, visit the manufacturer websites for Continental and Maxxis.
