Have 2, love them. Used to start up to 15L heavy trucks.

my cross climate does not last 3 years only 42k Km. not happy with snow and ice control in Alberta Canada.

I know these videos are very old, but I wanted to thank you for them anyway. They helped me out 14 years later. Lol.

I need to update this video. The V rated tyres were labelled on the side of the tyre as "Heavy Duty". I think this label was at least partly the cause of the harsh ride. I should have checked the tyre before they were fitted. The H rating did not have "Heavy Duty" written on the side and they were fine. I'm not sure if the V rated tyre, in this size, are available without the "heavy duty" label. If they are available without being "heavy duty" their ride *may* be okay also. In summary. I think it's worth checking the tyre fitter is fitting the correct speed rating tyres to your car. And also check if the tyres having "heavy duty" written on them. If you are towing a caravan you may need heavy duty tyres. If you are not towing/carrying heavy loads get the non heavy duty labelled tyres *if* they are available from the tyre manufacturer in the correct speed rating.

"Less RPM, and still maintaining the same speed" ? (1:20) I am not an expert, but you always get the same speed for the same RPM. No matter tuning.

That’s exactly what I expected. I have used all season tires and they sucked (vredestein). I was trying to drive exactly same conditions as in this video. Changed to good year snow tires. Going uphill is like going on dry.

I've had CC2 on a heavy LR 19" for 2 years. Two winters. Good grip on snow way better than my old Perelli zeros. Did ok in the summer gas mileage about the same as before. Don't notice any road noise. I think the side walls might be a bit softer than the perillis but I don't hot rod it so don't really notice or care. Wear seems ok for the miles. No complaints. Great all around tire if you live in the north and have 4 seasons.

This dude is wearing shades in overcast skies and has wipers that should have been replaced 2 years ago. I don't know if their insight is worth considering seriously.

This is a confused review. How can you review an eco tyre and not measure the difference in fuel economy between it and the sports tyre?

All electrodes are made from a nickel alloy. Some have copper cores that are only for heat transfer - does nothing for sparking - as the sparking occurs from the nickel alloy. Iridium & platinum plugs only have small pads of material welded to the nickel alloy. Also, NGK is the world leader and supplies to more manufacturers than Denso. Denso is currently losing market share.

Comfort? Heck mine rode smooth as silk compared to my last set. Only real negative was decrease in mpg and I'm estimating probably get about 50k miles after measuring with a caliper unless I wear them completely bald which is pretty decent and would definitely recommend.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Love the comparison and honesty! I guess there had to be a compromise somewhere with these tires and I'm not displeased that it's ride comfort.

A good pair of wipers should be your next investment. Bosch Aerotwin 👍

For sport- street use, Ferido DS Performance or Premier brake pads ?.

Interesting review. Im looking to increase the mpg and tye life i get on my 635D and need ro replace rear tyres soon. I have 650 lb ft of torque and 420 hp i need good tyres on the back. At thebmoment i have pilot sport 5 which are great but they only lasted 15k miles and at £300 per tyre i think theres better options so im looking at the continental eco contact 6 as its supposed to be good for mpg and wear.

The speed rating has nothing to do with the ride. The faster the rating, the better balanced the tyre. What will effect ride is the load rating, higher the stiffer the side wall. So, you start by saying the Crossclimates are unacceptable without any reference. I switch between Primacy in the summer to Crossclimates in the winter and notice zero difference in ride.

Por favor traducir

Living in Belgium and put these on my Saab 9-3. Absolutely amazing.

Love M.T.L Canada Merci wow 😅

I have similar problem with my Focus 1 Zetec-s 1.6 liter the car starts overheating when i drive in highway with hight speed like 150-160 km when i drive in a town no problem thermostat is changed original 74 C water pump is new radiator is chanced two year a go because a have hole and leak on coolant temperature sensor on cylinder head also changed because older it was broken on two pieces. I think the problem is my be fan resistor or cap.

I have had my Michelin Crossclimate 2 (4 tires) for a year. My tires still spin when the payment is wet. The traction is decent but not great. They are not miracles tires. They are the best and most expensive tires I have had but I am not raving over them. The are decent but not great.

It would be safe to assume this would also apply to boosted cars with intake tubes.

Great video! Currently own a MK1 vRS here in India.

Cool review ,do you know what the difference is between the Continental EcoContact 6Q and the Continental EcoContact 6 ?

I just bought these tires yesterday for my rideshare sedan vehicle in Northern California and so far, my passengers love the very comfortable ride! Granted it's only about 22.77°C here on dry roads with potholes here and there, they feel very good to me like I'm riding on a cloud! They definitely look alot more beefier than the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack I had on them before and to me, rides better then the Turanza! It will be on the colder side from now until about March next year so if they become uncomfortable in the high heat, I'll switch them out for something else just for the summer.

After digging for a video to explain this to me, this has been the most informative one. Thanks man

I believe that it is illegal to put on a lower speed rated tyre than your vehicle is designed for and can invalidate your insurance in the Uk.

I have CC2 for 57k miles on them. Have half the thread left. Mostly highways. Very pleased with them.

False comparison, the excel-g's are equivalent to the Bilstein B4, thus the Bilstein B8 are not comparable to the excel-g but to the Ultra SR instead or the Monomax. Please do more fair comparisons when discussing about wich brand is better

I had a cold air intake system installed in my 370z and it came with two large pre-oiled cone shaped K&N air filters. After about 30k miles I did a tuneup and inspected the filters, intake tract, MAFs and the throttle bodies. I saw no dirt past the filters, nor any oil film anywhere downstream of the filters. Two used oil analyses that I had done on the engine while the filters were installed showed no unusually high levels of silica(sand), hence the filters seemed to be doing a good job of air filtration.

I don’t think this guy understand the logic of wideband. Fuel is provided based on fuel maps. Wideband lambda is simply a closed loop and it keeps the car at optimal most economical setting in low load and cruise at 14.7 AFR or 1V Lamda. Under load car reverts to fuel map and give the car the fuel as per Fuel/Air map. So this statement is utter rubbish. Given the car can probably resist to higer boost and not cause any damage, but tunning boxes for sure cause lean operation. Stick it on the dyno or data log it and you will see😊

i listened to your entire video and i dont know when you say unacceptable, whether you mean too stiff or too soft. which one is it? i have a porsche cayenne gts, a rather heavy vehicle with quite some power resources, and i can easily do the top speeds you are referring to. my thoughts are that this tire may be too soft. yes i know that depends on road surface. thanks -

Looking at the Ferodo FDB1444 for the front of my FN2 Type R. It states no accessories with the pads, what does this mean and are accessories necessary? Thanks.

What gets me is those here complaining... If you like it use it if not don't use them. Why are you even here watching the video if your so disgusted and they don't work this and that why even bother watching 😂😂😂😂

I get little to no tire noise and very smooth ride. I have them on a total Highlander and they’re awesome.

What I've learned is. Don't jump to coilovers. What your lacking is most likely stiffer anti sway bars.

wear gloves very important dont make my mistake

I could see progressive coilovers improving handling even if you arent lowering the ride height simply because of how the roll center changes throughout suspension travel. You could use them to compensate for the change in roll center. That being said, that still doesn't give you progressive damping. The best solution obviously for that is rocker arm suspension with rising rate geometry but that comes with its own problems

Really appreciate this video because I was thinking of cheaping out with KYB struts in front with Bilstein shocks in the back.

Hi, have you tried brembo hp2 pads or may be also called hp2000 pads ? How would they compare to tarox corsa ? Thanks

Switching out the vacuum control for motor control is bigbrain

Great vid, thanks a lot.

over here the V is the lowest speed rating you can get, but comes in the XL variant. The XL variants have more solid side walls so are stiffer tyres and that can be a problem for road noise and comfort. The W and Y ratings are the only other tyres, but they are 91 load rated and so have softer walls that take bumps easier.

How loud they are in summer ?

Does this work for EVs? And do I need a dongle? If so, how much? from where? and where does it plug in?

exactly that confirms your suspicion the bigger maf housing just decreased air velocity with the same amount of air volume so it give a lower reading, there is a restriction somewhere else

ακριβως ο απολυτα σωστος τροπος ελεγχεις αν υπαρχει υποπιεση πουθενα απο το φιλτρο μεχρι την εισοδο του τουρμπο μπραβο επιτελους εισαι απο τους λιγους που το κανανουνε σωστα!!!!!!

This titanium shit is still itchy af lmao. Just as annoying to deal with as fiberglass and the weave keeps unraveling and unstitching

Would a h be more likely to puncture if you go on a forest road?
