About Continental
Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental produced Germany's first patterned car tyre in 1904. Today it is as much an automotive electronics company as a tyre maker, which shows in its engineering-led approach. It supplies original-equipment tyres to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen.
Strengths
- Class-leading braking in wet and dry tests
- Precise steering feel suited to German cars
- Strong performance across SportContact and PremiumContact ranges
- ContiSeal self-sealing option on some sizes
Worth knowing
- Tread life is good but usually behind Michelin
- Fewer large off-road sizes than Japanese brands
On UAE roads
Mercedes and BMW owners often find their cars came on Continental from the factory, sometimes with a star (★) or MO marking showing the tyre was tuned for that model. We supply the matching marked version where it exists.
