Best in braking.  Best in know-how.  

Continental understands the roads of the world – and how to brake safely on them.  Every day, Continental puts all of this passion and experience into further developments to advance driving safety and performance, and to each new design, Continental applies the knowledge they’ve learnt from their previous innovations.  With their expertise in technology to enhance the driving experience, Continental can point to a multitude of independent test results that prove that they are Best in Braking.  As Continental says, “We never stop exploring so that when braking counts, you can count on us.” 

Continental's tyre testing - setting standards in standards.

Before every new Continental innovation goes into production, it is tested intensively in order to guarantee suitability, efficiency and most importantly, safety.  As well as their enormous in-house proving ground, the Contidrom, near Hanover in Germany, Continental also test their tyres in USA, Sweden, Spain, and New Zealand.  Every single Continental tyre is tested in all kinds of weather conditions and on all road surfaces, using the latest advanced technologies and following industry-leading quality processes.  Before a new tyre is approved and made available, it has been through over 67,000 tests with Continental’s research and development experts, and has done the equivalent distance of circling the world over 500 times.  This is how Continental lives up to their promise of only offering you the safest, most comfortable and reliable mobility solutions. 

Continental's vision for the future:  from Best in Braking to Zero Fatalities, Zero Injuries and Zero Accidents.
