Continental 

Since we were founded in 1871, Continental has worked for one ultimate goal: to bring safety to the streets without compromising driving comfort or pleasure. Early inventions included the world’s first tyre with tread pattern in 1904, to the visionary eContact electric vehicle tyre range and our technological automotive innovations – we constantly develop our expertise in mobility, transport and processing. Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Every day we have over 200,000 highly-skilled employees in 53 countries producing forward-thinking solutions and products, as well as operating and delivering at an impeccable standard. This is why we are one of the most trusted tyre brands. When braking counts, you can count on us.

Best in braking. Best in know-how

Curiosity is their main driver.

Continental understands the streets of the world – and how to brake on them. Every day, we put all of our passion and experience into the development of our innovations. Manufactured of only the highest quality materials, we are setting standards with every new product.
How? By applying the knowledge of our innovations to every new design: Our high performance tyres give us deep insights on how to develop a safer driving experience for everyday use. Technologies used in the Conti.eContact™ will help regular cars to be more efficient in the future. The ContiSeal™-principle made its way from the drawing board to being unstoppable on the road. Just a few examples why Continental is one of the Best in Braking.And just one reason to it: We never stop exploring.
 

German engineering

Learn from the past, reach for the future.

German engineering and accuracy is legendary. As the inventors of the first tread pattern tire in the world, Continental seeks to prove this inventive spirit with every new product. Our centre of our engineering experience can be found in Hanover, Germany.
The research facility with its enormous and internationally renowned test race track, the Contidrom, bundles the expertise of over 1000 hard working scientists, engineers and designers in Europe and the US. And every new test follows one simple purpose: making driving safer. All that, of course, to the highest German standards – for over 140 years and counting.

Original equipment

Trust in them. As experts do.

Get on the road with the highest quality.
Car manufacturers only use premium tyres that conform to the highest quality standards. We make sure Continental tyres meet all of these standards, from maximum speed to wet and dry braking, handling, comfort and noise level as well as mileage.
Our engineers perform more than 100 different tests – as well as the many initial safety tests - to ensure that an original equipment tyre (OE) suits the vehicle perfectly, whether it’s a sports car, van or electric vehicle. Only the right set of tyres ensures that the car’s performance on paper translates into performance on the road.
Safety always plays a major role in tyre development, but other attributes of the tyres have to be pushed forward, too. This involves resolving the traditional conflict of interests between rolling resistance and braking performance, as well as dealing with many other areas where two interests collide.
Nevertheless, facing these challenges every single day, we succeeded to gain OE supplier approval from international car manufacturers. A clear sign of a product’s exceptional quality, which results in becoming the leading original equipment supplier for car manufacturers around the globe. Almost one in every three new cars produced in Europe leaves the factory fitted with Continental tyres. That makes us Europe's first choice among all tyre producers.

If the leading car manufacturers trust Continental, so can you.

Tested for your safety

Before any Continental innovation goes into production, it is tested intensively. Established and all new test methods guarantee everyday suitability. Continental uses and developes more and more advanced testing measuring technology to deliver matured and optimized products.

They test for your safety – around the world.

Throughout the year, we show time and time again that there are no limits to our tire testing at our test sites in the USA, New Zealand, Sweden, Spain and, last but not least, on our in-house track near Hanover, the Contidrom – which is also a sought-after reference track for independent experts.
Each one of our winter and summer tires from all over the world is thus tested under all kinds of weather and road surface conditions. It goes without saying that this all takes place using the most modern testing methods and measuring technology.

Testing

140,000 tires alone are tested each year on a total 200 million kilometres. An international team of professional test drivers perform over 67,000 ests – and circle the world 500 times before an innovation is approved. This way, Continental ensures to deliver only the safest, most comfortable and reliable mobility solutions.

The first fully automated tire-testing system from Continental.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year: with the AIBA (Automated Indoor Braking Analyzer), Continental takes tire testing to a new level. Through a fully automated process in the Contidrom hall, an unmanned test vehicle accelerates to speeds of up to 120 km/h and then brakes on interchangeable, hydraulically powered road surfaces with standardized pads. Tests can be conducted year-round on wet and dry road surfaces and in a separate ice lane. While the tests are conducted irrespective of weather conditions, Continental is able to offer the world’s most accurate braking testing procedure and to improve reproducibility by 70%. So you can rest assured that your tires will offer excellent braking performance regardless of the weather you’re driving in.
