New Mercedes-Benz GLC Fitted with Continental Tires

Hanover, February 9, 2023. Mercedes-Benz is fitting its new compact SUV GLC with tires from Continental. All the available drive types – gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models – will come factory-fitted with Continental’s EcoContact 6 Q. The tire offers exceptional efficiency: long service life, low fuel consumption and very low rolling noise.

Continental developed the EcoContact 6 Q for exceptionally energy-efficient driving – for a diverse range of vehicle models, regardless of their drive type. This is achieved thanks to a special rubber compound that reduces energy absorption through the tire while the vehicle is in motion and, in turn, reduces friction and rolling resistance. In addition, Continental has optimized the tire tread and so further reduced rolling noise. The EcoContact 6 Q is also characterized by its exceptionally long service life, outstanding brake performance and superior handling – all thanks to its specially modified blocks, sipes and side grooves.

To ensure safe travels through the winter months, GLC owners can purchase the WinterContact  TS 850 P from tire dealers and Mercedes-Benz car dealerships. This winter tire, which was specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for the GLC, ensures precision handling at low temperatures on dry and wet roads. It also offers solid grip on snowy ground.

In the USA, Mercedes-Benz has approved the all-season tire ProContact GX for the GLC. The all weather specialist offers excellent performance, a comfortable ride and scores with low fuel consumption.

The Continental EcoContact 6 Q, the WinterContact TS 850 P and the ProContact GX are available from tire dealers in numerous countries. All three models are also available for many other car brands and their models.
