For the new E-Class, Mercedes-Benz has chosen to equip the vehicles with the EcoContact 6 Q tyres, designed specifically for reducing energy consumption while enhancing driving comfort. Developed by Continental, these tyres are lauded for their long service life and minimal energy absorption, which significantly lowers rolling resistance and, by extension, fuel consumption. The special rubber compound and optimised tread pattern contribute to quieter rolling noise, ensuring a serene driving experience.
Beyond energy efficiency, the EcoContact 6 Q tyres are engineered for superior performance across various driving conditions. They offer short braking distances and exceptional grip on both dry and wet roads, ensuring optimal safety.

These winter tyres guarantee maximum safety on muddy and snowy surfaces, offering precise handling and solid grip in low temperatures. The result is reliable braking performance and heightened safety, making the E-Class equipped for year-round driving conditions.
