Continental Tyres NZ

About Continental Tyres

Continental is one of the world's oldest and most respected tyre manufacturers, founded in Hanover, Germany in 1871. With over 150 years of German precision engineering, Continental has established itself as a leader in tyre safety technology. The company is also one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, manufacturing braking systems, stability control, and other safety technologies.

Continental's unique position as both a tyre and automotive safety technology company gives them an unmatched understanding of vehicle dynamics. Their tyres consistently achieve top ratings in independent braking tests, particularly in wet conditions — a critical factor for safe driving.

For New Zealand drivers, Continental tyres are an excellent choice for those who prioritise safety above all else. Their PremiumContact and UltraContact ranges deliver outstanding wet braking performance, which is particularly valuable given New Zealand's frequent rainfall and varied road surfaces.

Continental Tyres in New Zealand

Continental tyres are increasingly popular in New Zealand, especially among European car owners. Their exceptional wet braking performance is a major advantage on NZ roads, where rain can arrive suddenly. The brand's focus on safety technology aligns well with New Zealand's road safety priorities.
