All Continental Tyres Stuff

The compound on the Continental tyres, is generated from computers.So, to provide the tyres with tread pattern with, high-void all-terrain pattern with interlocking tread blocks. Of course, this is also backed by placing the sipes in a way that rejects and throws out pieces of grit and gravel. At one time tyres with many sipes would also be noisy when driving on normal tarmac roads. Naturally, the Conti tyres, with all their siping can now run much quieter, on normal tarmac roads, due to the computer design.

Continental Tyres UK Ltd-Spies In Your Tyres? This Gizmo Will Help Your Car Drive Itself

Continental Tyres UK Ltd

A few years back, on a week long bus tour of Continental Tyres UK Ltd AG’s technology and engineering centers in Germany, one item attracted more attention from journalists than nearly any of the other whiz-bang connected-car stuff: A simple tire pressure monitor.

Eric Roberts‘s insight:

Continental Tyres UK Ltd new TPMS and more idea

This article written by Bob Gritzinger. Therefore, is all about the new ideas and inventions. Thrown about by the Auto industry at the moment. Consequently, this idea from Conti has now been tested on truck tyres. But at the moment I don’t know whether it has been a success or not. I suspect it will be effective. Because the concept of a monitor. Hence, vulcanised into the tyre. Relaying out information electronically about such things as tyre pressures and the inside temperature of the tyre is obviously of great benefit to the driver of the vehicle.

The device will be able to aid truckers. Because it will also be able to send the driver information. Thus, about the load that the tyre is carrying. Including  the traction details of the tyre, with this giving the driver the knowledge that the full load and road conditions can be checked as the truck is rolling along. I don’t know what sort of signals theIce road truckers would be getting from their in built TPMS tyres?

TPMS Valves becoming more common

The new Continental Tyres UK Ltd valve sends out the information. Hence, out by wireless signals. Therefore, is picked up in the cab by the driver on an in-car system very similar to the ones now where the TPMS Valves signals are fitted to the wheels. Continental Tyres UK Ltd says that this is all part the future that may introduce the driverless vehicle to our towns and cities. If an object penetrates a

tyre the system will pick up the loss of pressure and stop the car in some sort of safe area and the problem reported and fixed.

New VW Multivan Factory-Fitted with Continental Tyres

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is factory-fitting its new Multivan with Continentals AllSeasonContact tyres in 16″ and 17″ fitments. 

This premium all-season tyre is designed to cope with any weather, all year round. Thanks to a special tyre compound containing a high proportion of silica and special performance resins. So, the AllSeasonContact offers excellent traction and braking performance. The braking forces are transmitted to the road via the tyres with exceptional efficiency. Importantly, resulting in shorter braking distances.

Particularly on icy and snow-covered roads during the winter. The AllSeasonContact also offers outstanding braking performances. Especially, on wet and dry roads in the summer. This is all thanks to the special geometry of the shoulder groove. Of course, which ensures improved water drainage. The shoulder groove is also designed to provide additional stability. Importantly, during cornering as well as exceptional lateral aquaplaning performance.  

The AllSeasonContact is characterised by its high energy efficiency, rated with EU tyre label “A” making it a leader in its segment.

The significantly improved rolling resistance was achieved through an optimal balance. Of course, between compound, geometry and sidewall thickness. Lower rolling resistance helps to reduce fuel consumption and, in turn, CO2 emissions. 

Different automotive magazines have recently praised Continental’s AllSeasonContact for its versatility. The allround specialist recently won, for example, the all-year test conducted by Gute Fahrt (edition 9/22), confirming the success it enjoyed in the tests conducted by Auto Zeitung (19/21) and Auto Bild (40/21).

The following products and sizes are factory-approved for the new VW Multivan in numerous markets, including the UK: 

AllSeasonContact, 215/65 R16 102H XL  

AllSeasonContact, 235/55 R17 103H XL

The protective layer is inside the Seal tyres,  just underneath the tread area. Other products to give a Continental tyres boost include “runflat technology” and new tyres that are greener and lighter to save on emissions for new EV and electric vehicles, altogether an impressive portfolio of products.

Are Continental the Best Tyres

Are Continental the Best Tyres

Continental Tyres: A Brief History

I must admit that in my early days in the tyre industry that Continental were not a company that were much heard of. Working for a local tyre fitting station in the mid-sixties was the beginning of my lifelong tyre experience. It was a time for a mass expansion in the tyre industry as cars became easier to afford for the working class of  Great Britain. Continentals involvement in the UK tyre market was through the back door. Hence they acquired two smaller tyre manufacturers Uniroyal and Semperit.

These two tyre companies had already a foothold in the UK distributor network. So, competing with the likes of Dunlop, Michelin, Firestone and Pirelli for their place in the UK pecking order. In my opinion Conti were involved in motor racing and built up their reputation on the race track.

Importantly, the German company has been producing tyres for more than 145 years. Of course, the company has become a global powerhouse in the tyre sector, with outlets in more than 60 countries. A long-term investment including their racing expertise and in R&D has paid off. So, it is little surprise that the German tyre company has earned a solid reputation for quality and innovation.

Continental Tyres is well-known for its commitment to R&D, which ensures that the company’s products consistently represent the cutting edge of tyre technology. New tyre designs and safety aspects are being introduced by Continental Tyres all the time. Especially where safety is concerned self sealing punctures *ContiSeal™ is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal damaged tyre tread and run flat tyres at the forefront.

Effectiveness and Dependability

More importantly, Conti Tyres have earned their reputation as the industry standard. Of course, in large part due to their exceptional quality and dependability. All weather conditions, including dry, wet, and snow, are no match for the superior grip and handling provided by Conti Tyres. Technology advancements in tyres—like the 3D sipes that improve traction in the rain and the asymmetric tread pattern that improves handling and stability—make this possible.
Continental tyres are well-known for their long life and high performance. Tires can last longer than other brands since they are built to endure high loads. In the long run, this can help you save money on tyre maintenance and replacement.

Quality

Continental tyres, also including Uniroyal and Semperit tyres are the best since they are of the highest quality. The company is dedicated to producing items of the highest quality, and to that end, it employs only the finest raw materials and production methods. Continental tyres are tested to the limits to guarantee their safety, dependability, and superior quality. Because of how carefully they craft their products. Continental Tyres is often regarded as a top name in the tyre market.

Varieties of Goods

Ultimately, Continental Tyres has a large selection of tyres to fit a variety of cars and driving preferences and climates. The company manufactures tyres for a wide variety of vehicles, including everyday commuters, sports cars, off-road machines, and racing cars. Good to know that Continental Tyres also provides an assortment of tyres for use in various climates, including summer, winter, and all-season models. This makes it so consumers can find tyres that are ideal for their vehicles.

Last but not least,

The German Tyre company is lauded for its unparalleled commitment to client satisfaction. Here at Pellon Tyres, a group of hardworking experts is always ready to assist consumers with any inquiries they may have about the product. To further reassure its customers, Conti Tyres backs each purchase with a warranty that covers manufacturing faults and possibly other difficulties.

In my opinion the greatest tyres on the market are made by Conti for many reasons. The company’s dedication to R&D, high standards of performance and dependability, superior quality, extensive product line, and superb customer service make it the go-to brand for motorists all over the globe. Continental Tyres are possibly the best tyres you can buy. So if you’re in the market for a new set, look no further  than to Pellon Tyres Halifax UK.

Continental Tyres Winners; Many motorists decide that they would like to fit Continental tyres on to their vehicles.

Many motorists decide that they would like to fit Continental tyres on to their vehicles. These tyres are a popular choice for those who live in the wetter areas of the UK. This is because this is just one of the many good points that we bestow on the brand of tyre made by Continental that is fitted to their vehicles, as it has been proven to perform well in these weather conditions.

A large number of accidents have resulted in personal injury. That is what happens when the roads are extremely wet and slick. You’ll also find that road accidents are twice as likely to happen. Of course, on wet roads as well. including another important factor ! Not to mention that the majority of these vehicles will be running on bald tyres.

because of these accidents. Drivers tend to go for tyres that will keep them as safe as possible. especially during the bad weather. So, helping them to minimise the risk of being involved in an accident It’s so important to make sure that you’re taking extra care. especially when driving in bad conditions. finding that many people on the roads are driving. Consequently, without the correct tyres fitted to their vehicle.

Most people tend to think that the reason why driving in wet conditions

So, this causes accidents. because of the spray and the loss of visibility. The main danger, of course, is the risk of aquaplaning (Continental tyres are excellent wet weather tyres). The cause of aquaplaning is a layer of water that forms between the tyre and the road, which then reduces your tyre’s grip and means that contact is lost with the road. The car could then go out of control, causing an accident.

The way that Continental Tyres  have been designed Of course, she makes sure that they perform to their best ability. Most importantly, when the weather outside is very wet, The purpose of tyres is to disperse as much water away from the road as possible . So,  by using centre drainage channels and having many water dispersing “sipes,” they will successfully increase the grip on the wet road. Aquaplaning is minimal and significantly reduced when using this brand.

It’s still worth remembering, though, that your Continental tyres must be in good condition with a good tread area, a bald tyre, whatever the make, will be dangerous on all road conditions.

Do not forget that the UK is traditionally a very wet country and also treats road safety as very important, and although Continentals  are an excellent brand, any new tyre will be a thousand times better in all driving conditions than a “bald” tyre. It is most important at all times of the year to have your tyres checked at regular intervals and always invest in a good make of tyres such as Continental tyres.

Continental Van Eco Tyres-“New” Continental Tyres for Vans and Similar Vehicles

Post Updated 2020

Continental Van Eco Tyres New Vanco Eco from Continental tyres improves fuel economy

Like most other tyre manufacturers Continental tyres are striving to improve their range to include much more economic and fuel saving tyres for the future. Indeed Continental have just completed tests together with ford using the Continental Van Eco Tyres and achieved a much greater fuel efficiency by using this tyre , a great result for Continental tyres.

The new van tyre will have much less rolling resistance than previous van tyres , making this tyre about 4% more economical which means much less emissions. Continental tyres engineers have also designed the new tyre give car like handling by means of more comfort together with better handling on both wet and dry roads.

 Continental tyres first Vanco Eco tyre size

 The first Continental Van Eco Tyres to be made will be in the tyre size 215/75R16 com load rating 113/111 t/l. This size fits most of the popular vans around at the moment including Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinters and VW T5 range.

Although 4% doesn’t seem a large amount of savings, you must multiply this by the total mileage that the van will do and the huge cost of the price of fuel and this will give the fleet or van owner significant savings. Here at Pellon tyres we have great respect and admiration for Continental tyres products and this new van tyre is no exception. We offer them online at www.pellonautocentre.com

Reduced fuel consumption and lower rolling resistance are the hallmarks of the new Continental Van Eco tyres for light commercial vehicles. Specially developed for vans such as the Mercedes Viano, Vito and Sprinter, Ford Transit and Volkswagen T5, Continental’s Vanco Eco boasts up to 30% less rolling resistance and a calculated four percent saving in fuel and emissions, than standard versions. At the same time engineers have managed to cut the braking distances on both wet and dry road surfaces making the tyre more car-like in its performance.

Falken all weather and winter tyres

Continental Winter Contact TS 850 wins German magazines winter tyre tests.

Continental Winter Contact TS 850 the latest tyre test from the German Motoring Magazine “Auto Zeitung”.

The German tyre results are very important. Especially when it comes to winter tyres. Germany still has many motorways. That do not have a speed limit. So during winter time they are very choosy about which winter tyres will be the best for their car.

Winter tyres are no longer the big chunky treaded tyres. They used to be. They now have to drive at high speed down the German motorways. Then up the mountains on their way to the ski slopes, in Austria, Italy and France.

The outright winner in the Auto Zeitung winter tyre tests.  Were Continental tyres, with their new tyre the ContiWinterContact TS850.

The Continental tyre company are a German based tyre company. They know how to make a winter tyre that can be driven throughout the winter months. In all kinds of conditions.

Continental Winter Contact TS 850

Continental Winter Contact TS 850 has come out on top in German magazine Auto Zeitung’s winter tyre test, closely followed by Nokian’s WR D4.

The Winter Contact TS 850 came a close first place, but the other big tyre companies all fared well with their winter tyre products. In snowy conditions Nokian, Michelin, Goodyear and Uniroyal (another product owned by Continental) were all slightly better, but they were all very close and the  Contact TS 850 came up trumps in wet braking. This tyre has a very strong stopping capability, coming out best in the wet conditions overall.

If you are a Continental tyre fan then this is the winter tyre for you. There is no doubt that the winter tyre market is hotting up, in terms of extreme quality and the ability to fulfil the massive amount of different tyre sizes that are now on the market.

When I checked the price at today’s date for a popular tyre size, the 19595T15 Contact TS 850, then we here at Pellon Tyres  were selling this tyre for £58.45 all-inclusive compared to BlackCircles price of £62.03 (at the time of this posts publication)
