How to Verify the Authenticity of Continental Tires?
1 Answers
Continental is a German tire brand. The Continental Group, founded in 1871 and headquartered in Hanover, Germany, is the world's third-largest tire manufacturer and Europe's largest automotive parts supplier. Here are some methods to distinguish genuine Continental tires: 1. Check the tire barcode: Located on the tire bead, if it has been scraped off, the tire may be smuggled or obtained through illegitimate channels. 2. Genuine tires have anti-counterfeit labels: As Continental is a German brand, tires imported to China must have a square anti-counterfeit label, which serves as an ID for sales in the Chinese market. Any imported tire must have this label. 3. Check the tire production date: Look for the DOT code and production date on the tire's sidewall. For example, '2209' indicates the tire was manufactured in the 22nd week of 2009. Pay attention to whether the markings are clear and legible.
