Question 1

Are Continental Tires Good?

Accepted Answer

Continental Tires are high-perfromance tires with low rolling resistance and excellent wet and dry performance. They have a good balance of all weather performance and have long-lasting tread life.

Question 2

Are Continental Tires Made In USA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some Continental Tire models are made in USA. Continental manufactures its tires in Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Illinois.

Question 3

Are Continental Tires Run Flat?

Accepted Answer

Continental’s self supporting runflat tires are suitable with all standard wheel rims.Thanks to Continental Tire's uniquely constructed strengthened sidewall, after puncturing, they can continue rolling at 80 km/h for 80 kms. You needn't pull over to ask for aid or to switch a tire. Instead, you can securely reach your location and handle the tire as it suits you. Runflat tire does not just provide you peace of mind, they also add up to 80 liters of free space to your trunk. You can fit even more into your vehicle's boot because you no longer require a replacement tire.

Question 4

Are Continental Tires Expensive?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a Continental Tire varies depending on the size and the kind of tire you want and your location. On our website the Continental tires prices range from CAD$115.12 to CAD$720.9

Question 5

Are Continental Tires Noisy?

Accepted Answer

Continental tires are generally quiet, however this varies by model. Continental tires have a noise-reduction technology that uses an inner tire absorber to decrease interior road noise by up to nine decibels. This delivers noiseless and comfortable rides.

Question 6

Can Continental Tires Be Repaired?

Accepted Answer

A tire can be repaired If it satisfies the following points:

1) The tread depth is less than the permitted maximum of 1.6 mm.

2) The rubber has become cracked, worn, or degraded.

3) If the diameter of the puncture is greater than or equal to 6 mm.

4) If the puncture is located in the sidewall and outside the tread area.

5) The tire's structural integrity has been compromised, or run flat damage has occurred.

6) Continental would never recommend repairing a tire over replacing it for safety reasons.

You've experienced a puncture in one or more of your tires, so what now? It's possible. Tire repair is a possible alternative to purchasing a new tire, but drivers need be aware of the full scope of what can be repaired lawfully.

In summary, tire repair work is restricted:

1) When the tread depth falls below the legal limit of 1.6 mm

2) If the tire's structural integrity has been compromised, or there has been run flat damage

3) The rubber has cracks, is worn out, or has deteriorated

4) External object has caused the damage to the tire

5) The cords are visible

6) There are any signs of faulty repairs made in the past.

The exact location of the puncture is also an important consideration. Tire repairs must keep within the center three-quarters of the tread, known as the "minor repair area," according to the guidelines.

Question 7

How Continental Tires Are Made?

Accepted Answer

A Continental tire is made through five essential stages of tire manufacturing:

1) Materials sourcing and compound manufacturing

Steel is used to make steel cords and steel bead cores. Synthetic rubber and materials are used to reduce wear, increase traction, and extend tire life. Natural Rubber is added in proper proportion for tire manufacturing. The textile industry provides base materials (rayon, nylon, polyester, and aramid fibers) for the production of cords used as tire reinforcement.

2) Manufacturing of components

Steel cable that has been pre-treated and is provided on wire spools is fed into a calendar and implanted in one or more layers of rubber. The end result is a continuous cord and rubber sheet. This is rolled up for further processing and cut at a set angle to the correct length according to tire size. The tread can now be manufactured from kneadable rubber material that has been combined in a mixer. The rubber is shaped into an infinite strip of tread by a screw-type extruder. The weight per meter is tested after extrusion, and the tread is cooled by immersion. The tread strip is trimmed to fit the size of the tire. After that, another unit weight check is performed. A big roller mechanism feeds a variety of textile threads into the calendar and embeds them in a thin layer of rubber. This unending sheet is then sliced to the necessary width and rewound for additional processing at a 90° angle to the direction of travel. The bead's core is made up of many ring-shaped steel wires. They each have their unique rubber coating. After that, a rubber apex is added to the loop. The extruder produces sidewall portions that are trimmed to fit the specific tire size. The airtight inner lining is formed into a wide, thin layer using a calendar.

3) Tire Construction

The tire-making process can now commence. On the tire building machine, the various semi-finished components are combined and formed into what is known as a "green tire." The casing and the tread/belt assembly are completed in two stages. After that, a special fluid is sprayed on the "green tire" to prepare it for vulcanization.

4) Vulcanization

We're currently in the curing press. After being vulcanized for a set amount of time at a certain pressure and temperature, the tire is given its final shape. Raw rubber is transformed into flexible, elastic rubber throughout this procedure. The tread pattern and sidewall markings are engraved on the curing press molds.

5) Quality control

Quality control is carried out at every stage of the manufacturing process, from the inspection of raw materials through the delivery of finished tires.

Continental tires are extensively verified for quality using a multi-layered method. Continental tires that have been completed are subjected to the following tests:

1) Visual examination

2) X-raying

3) Various tire uniformity inspections are performed.

Tires are transferred to the distribution warehouse for shipment after passing all checks and inspections.

Question 8

How Long Does Continental Tires Last?

Accepted Answer

Continental tires are long-lasting tires and can last up to ten years. But this completely depends on driving habits, servicing methods, the weather, and road factors on which the tire is used. Check the treadwear rating of any tire to get an idea of how long it might last. This is a comparison rating based on the tire's wear rate when evaluated under controlled conditions on a government-approved test track. On a government test track, for example, a tire with a rating of 600 would last twice as long as a tire with a rating of 300.

Question 9

Which Continental Tires Are Tubeless?

Accepted Answer

Trail King, Mud King, Mountain King, X-King and Race King are the Continental Tires which are tubeless tires.

Question 10
