Continental Tire Quick Bio and Tires for Sale
For over 140 years Continental Tires has been a leading innovator in tire technology. Founded in 1871 in Hanover, Germany, Continental began manufacturing products made from various types of rubber, including carriage and bicycle tires. 1898 saw the introduction of their first pneumatic tire and three years later they partnered with the Daimler Company, and the companies first ever Mercedes, to win the Nice-Salon-Nice Car Race. Thus began the longstanding tradition of providing automobile tires for the world’s leading automobile companies. To say that Continental is a pioneer in the tire industry would be an understatement. Among the early technologies they pioneered were, (1904) the first tire with patterned tread; (1908) the detachable sedan wheel making it easier to change a tire; and (1943) Germany’s first tubeless tire. Continental Tires continues to lead the charge for innovation and by joining forces with Bridgestone in 2002 they developed the run-flat technology that has become the industry standard. It is this continued innovation that keeps Continental at the forefront of the tire industry.
While innovation has been a mainstay of Continental Tires, so has a winning racing tradition. The testing and proving grounds for tire technology is on the race track and together with Mercedes, and later Porsche, they found great success throughout the 20th century, all over the globe. This success has directly impacted the way they design, test and build tires for the consumer market. With continued success in the German and European markets Continental Tires sought to bring their technologies to the rest of the world, thus began the expansion into other markets. The 70’s and 80’s saw the acquisitions of Uniroyal and General Tire, giving Continental a stronger foothold in the American and world tire markets. With continued expansion throughout Europe, Latin America, Australia and Africa they’ve become a true global leader in the tire and rubber industry.
