Continental summer rubber guarantees safety, reliability and durability since 1871.
The history of the company began with a small factory in Hanover, which turned into one of the global players in the automotive industry worldwide. Continental is the oldest independent and one of the largest summer tire manufacturers in the world. Over the past 150 years, the company has set standards in the tire industry with its pioneering spirit and innovative strength. Time and again, Continental engineers have ensured that tires are safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly with their innovative inventions.
Developers of Continental summer tires have decades of experience in tire development and combine it with the results of various field tests for rubber perfection, and development partnerships with virtually every vehicle manufacturer worldwide, in order to continually evolve.
Technologies used in the production of Continental summer rubber:
- ContiSilent: innovative technology reduces the noise of used Continental summer tires, which users perceive as particularly annoying inside the car, including rolling noise equivalent to approximately nine decibels of volume. This technology takes the form of a special layer of foam attached to the inside of the tread of used Continental summer tires. It blocks the vibration that occurs when the tire rolls on the road surface while the car is in motion, because the foam layer is applied to the finished used Continental summer tires after the tire manufacturing process and is compatible with all widely available rims. ContiSilent does not affect driving performance such as braking, handling, mileage, load, speed or wet performance. This technology is particularly useful for electric vehicles, as they do not create the engine noise of combustion engine vehicles and are therefore much quieter on the road.
- High load capacity: from 2021, Continental produces used summer tires for passenger cars with the new load index code HL. Compared to regular XL tires, HL tires have a higher load capacity even at the same tire pressure as XL tires. The load capacity of the HL tire is 825 kg (load index 101), which is ten percent higher than the old XL standard with a load capacity of 750 kg (load index 98). Due to the batteries installed inside, electric vehicles are heavier than vehicles with an internal combustion engine. But thanks to used Continental HL summer tires, you are guaranteed a pleasant drive even when transporting heavy loads.
- ContiSeal: ContiSeal technology allows you to safely continue your journey, even if the used Continental summer tires are damaged. The highly elastic protective layer on the inner side of the tire closes penetrating objects in just a fraction of a second and reliably closes the puncture even if the object has been removed from the tread (for example, due to tire rotation). ContiSeal is able to reliably seal even holes with a diameter of up to five millimeters. This allows you to fix about 80 percent of punctures immediately, so you can get to the nearest garage.
- Self-supporting Runflat: Runflat technology is designed for situations where used Continental summer tires suffer even more damage and actually start to lose air. The tire is supported by a specially designed reinforced sidewall. So, if your tire gets a flat, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the road and the rim and prevents the tire from sliding. This means that you can drive up to 80 kilometers to the nearest garage at a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Under normal conditions, self-supporting Runflat tires do not affect the road characteristics or handling of the car.
One of the main advantages of used Continental summer tires is safety. The manufacturer invests a lot of effort in research and development to create tires with reliable traction, stability and short braking distances, especially on wet roads. This helps reduce the risk of accidents and provides drivers with greater confidence during their journey.
You can buy used Continental tires at the best prices in the "Eurowheel" store. We specialize in selling premium second-hand summer tires brought from European warehouses. A large selection of used tires is available in the store, so every driver will be able to choose something for himself.
Used Continental summer tires are actually an excellent choice for drivers with many advantages. The Continental company gained its fame thanks to the high quality of its car tires and long-term success in the market.
