EcoControl HP

• 

  Shorter dry braking

  Enjoy confident control when it matters most. The EcoControl HP increases road contact under braking force, for dry braking that’s 3 meters shorter than competitors’ tyres*.

• 

  Shorter wet braking

  Braking distances in the wet are up to 2.9 metres shorter*, thanks to a full silica compound and biting edges that cut through the water layer beneath the contact patch. AquaFlow grooves quickly disperse water in heavy rain conditions.

• 

  Lower fuel consumption

  Lower your fuel costs and CO₂ emissions. With its high performance construction and EcoTread design, the EcoControl HP needs less energy to roll. In independent tests, the EcoControl HP delivered 9% lower rolling resistance than competitors’ tyres.*

• 

  High mileage

  Benefit from long lasting performance. Hardwearing compounds and a harmonised poly-rib distribution ensure slow and even wear, giving you more mileage for your money.

• 

  Drive with peace of mind

  The EcoControl HP is the ideal all-rounder for high performance vehicles. It delivers better overall results in wet handling, braking and fuel efficiency when compared to the average performance of competitor tyres tested.*

*Tested against 3 direct mid-range competitors in September-October 2011 by TÜV SÜD Automotive in Garching (Germany) & Mireval (France); size 205/55R16 91V; Golf VI 1.6 TDI & 2.0 GTD; Report 76247020. Depending on the type of road and driving style, rolling resistance contributes up to 20% of a car’s fuel consumption (ETRMA).
