Hi there, I have 2024 XC40 B4 FWD. Front tyres need changed after 14k miles. I've Continental Eco Contact 6s.
£171 each fully fitted on black circles.
What have other people got on theres? Should I just go like for like or go more budget? Any recommendations?
Had quite a lot of drift with accelerating when I first got the car which has settled as the tyres have worn in.
Thanks
Which tyres
There's been criticism of those tyres on here. If it was me I'd get a complete new set. I've had/got 18" rims on mine and have been very happy with the Michelin Primacy that both came fitted with.

The eco contact 6 is the worst tyre I've ever had on a car so would say anything but them. So bad I tried to get Volvo to change them on my new car but they didn't want to know.
My car was also factory fitted with Conti EcoContact 6 (18” rims) and I was not happy with them. Changed with Michelin Primacy 4, after 30k miles there’re still in good condition. When time comes, I will change them with Continental Premium Contact 7.

I changed my EcoContact 6 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs and I’m very happy with them.

I changed from Primacy 4 to cross climate 2 on all tyres as have heard that primacy 4 are not very good in winter! Fitted 104H to get the 'A' rolling resistance. Must say they worked brilliantly in a muddy field towing 1.5 tonne caravan!

I've just completed 33,000 miles on PZero's and there was still some tread left, but not confident they would last a winter up here in the North East. So today I changed them for a set of CrossClimate 2 SUVs (245/45 R20). Black Circle were offering 15% off and Michelin offered £100 cashback to subscribers. All in all, a total discount of £264 off 4 tyres!
Volvo XC40 B5P R Design Pro, Glacier Silver, Leather, Climate, Pano Roof. (Ordered 21/10/22, Delivered 21/12/22).
Another vote for primacy. Fronts lasted around 23 k miles, rears still healthy at 30 k. (AWD)
