Is German Yatu Tire a Subsidiary of Continental?
2 Answers
German Yatu Tire is a mid-to-high-end tire under the Continental brand. Below is the relevant introduction about Yatu Tire:1. Tire Features: Comfortable, quiet, and wear-resistant! Continental Tire was founded in 1871 in Hanover, Germany. In 1882, the galloping horse trademark was established. In 1892, it produced Germany's first pneumatic bicycle tire. In 1955, it became the first German company to produce tubeless tires. In 1960, it began large-scale production of radial tires. In 1987, it acquired American GENERAL Tire and UNIROYAL Tire (later co-owned with Michelin). In 1991, it became the first to manufacture fuel-saving, high-mileage, and environmentally friendly tires, supplying almost all European cars.2. Advantages: Another major advantage of Continental, discovered by customers, is that even after severe tread wear, aging cracks are rarely found. This is due to the effect of the third-generation silica.
I just reviewed materials about the tire industry, and indeed Autogrip is a sub-brand under Continental. Last month, I specifically researched this brand when helping a friend choose tires. Autogrip mainly targets the mid-range market, focusing more on cost-effectiveness and durability compared to Continental's high-performance sports tires. It offers balanced performance in noise reduction and wet traction, making it particularly suitable for daily family cars. Nowadays, you can often spot Autogrip tires as original equipment on base models of brands like Volkswagen and Toyota. However, when replacing tires, be cautious as some counterfeit products imitate its snowflake logo—always look for the small 'Conti' marking on the tire sidewall.
