Continental is a German tire brand. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Replacement time: Tires are rubber products, and rubber products will age after prolonged use, so tires need to be replaced regularly. Under normal circumstances, tires installed on a car can be used for four years, so it is recommended to replace them every four years. 2. Shelf life: When purchasing new tires, be sure to check the production date carefully, as tires also have a shelf life. Normally, the shelf life of unused tires is three years. If the tires have been in storage for more than three years, they should not be purchased.

I had Continental tires installed on my previous car, and they provided a really stable ride. This brand is actually German, with the full name Continental Tires. Their headquarters and factory are located in Hanover, and they rank among the top global manufacturers. They are commonly found as original equipment tires on German cars, especially models like Audi and Mercedes. The small horse logo on the tire sidewall is their signature mark, and they do a good job controlling road noise. As for wear resistance, it depends on the specific series. However, be aware that there are counterfeit products in the market, so it's best to visit authorized dealers for tire replacements. After experiencing a tire blowout on the highway, I now insist on using imported tires with CCC certification.

Last week, I helped a customer pick out a set of new tires, and we happened to discuss Continental. It's a product of the German Continental Group, which started in Hanover in 1871 with rubber production. Currently, Continental tires available in China come in two types: imported and domestically produced, with the Changchun factory manufacturing the domestic version. German tires are known for their strong support, but wet performance depends on the tread pattern model, with all-rounders like the UC7 being the best sellers. A friend mentioned that his BMW came with original Continental tires, which lasted 60,000 kilometers before needing replacement. During the rainy season, it's advisable to prioritize tires with rain groove designs when changing them.

The most frequently replaced imported tire in the workshop is this one. Continental belongs to the German Continental Group, and its production standards comply with TUV certification. In local auto parts markets, you can purchase original equipment (OE) marked tires with the country of production code printed on the sidewall. After localization, the price has dropped, but pay attention to the sidewall thickness. Recently, a Touareg came in for a tire change, and the owner specifically requested German-made self-sealing tires, claiming they wouldn't lose air even when punctured by nails on the highway. German tires offer good handling, but it's important to choose the right softness or hardness for winter tires.
