I'm an old school motorhead and only buy Continental tires, the "Contact" series exclusively. I had to throw out a whole set of 1/4 worn Coopers off my Jeep and Cross Contacts just came out. They're made by computer in Mexico in a completely automated factory. And today have a 91% best brand rating at Tire Rack. And Tire Rack should know, they've sold gazillions of tires of every brand; quite possibly to your own shop. That review is based on people who have actually bought the tires. Not some "experts" opinion. Over the years, since "Contacts" first came out, I've had about 20 sets and have never had a single problem with any one of them. That's the first thing I do when I buy a car. Even a new car, is put a set of Connies on it and don't worry about it. And I've done that with 1 new car and 2 new Jeeps now. Most new cars come with 28 dollar tires. Really. You can't even buy them and they're usually shot in 20,000 miles. Many of my "Contact" tires were purchased at Tire Rack because they're hard to find. And if they have them, you have them within a week. And their tread designs are excellent and have DWS imprints on the 2nd rib. (dry, wet, snow) When the S disappears, it's no longer rated for snow. When the W disappears, it's no longer rated for wet weather. When the D disappears the tire is worn out. I know of no other manufacturer that does this and these are 70,000 mile tires. I even have a pair of Teva sandals for my feet with Continental tire bottoms on them. Don't ask me. I've only had one flat tire out of over 90 tires and it was a nail. From Cross Contacts for my SUV's and Jeeps, to Extreme Contacts for my cars and Hot Rods. Continental's are the only tires I trust, or buy, and I'm currently running 4 sets of them. And when you're running 4 sets of tires, you better be sure. I Have more trouble with my rims than I do my tires. Modern factory alloy rims start corroding the day you get them and the valve stems start leaking. They have to hone out the hole and glue them in. Really, I'm not making this up, you'll see. All the rest of the major tire manufacturers are garbage. If you see a huge dent in your sidewall, it's not NORMAL like your dealer says; that tire is junk and isn't even round. They bounce when you drive down the road and wear your struts and suspension bushings out. That is also why you can't balance them properly. Cooper really disappointed me and Good Year has always been junk. Except in Semi Trucks: Michelin and Bridgestone are the most over rated tires there are. In the winter, Michelin's are useless and won't even let you leave your own driveway. Just ask my brother. And Firestone and Uniroyal? Are they even still in business? They shouldn't be. Dunlop makes excellent Motorcycle tires and that's about it. Pirelli makes good tires, and they wear out so fast you have to replace them every year, or even twice. They're only good for 7,000 miles. NOT 70. Continentals are standard equipment on many European cars and should be on all cars. They're weight rated for the car you buy them for, so they always ride very smooth. But hey, that just the opinion of one old school motorhead, who's been around the block a few times. Take free advice for what it's worth.
Continentals are one of the top notch tire manufacturers! They all have strengths and weaknesses. I've purchased them for one of my sedans in the past, was quite pleased. For me, the choice of manufacturer and tire model comes down to type of auto/truck its to be mounted on, the season/environment its to be operated and availability in my area.
gee, some day there will be a layer of tire stuff around the world such as the dinosaur layers... 1,500 years in the future let them go figure that one out? thanks...:) oh are they using next generation ng tire machines? Have "Betty Boop" to narrate the Tesla tire process.
i currently worked at a tire making company and unfortunately this video didn't even show one of the hardest parts of the job trimming the tire vents and cleaning the beads manually imagine doing all of that with 10 to 12 tires weights about 10 to 20 kgs in just 12 to 15 minutes or else another batch is coming 😂😂😂 overworked low salary😢😢😢
dear sir, please help. how is solubable sulphur is used versus unsolubable sulphur? what percentage of each is used in the 1.5 to 2% total sulphur? that would help me a lot. I am working on a market study as to advantages of using 5 micron sulphur vs. 100 micron sulphur (what is now used). perhaps you can help me. thanks
Tyres? Fyre. Dyre. Hyre. Lyar. Pyre. Pyrex yes lol. Syre. Wyre. Yes I went through the alphabet and may have made a boo boo but you all get my point. The word looks dumb spelled like that, no? Yes.

That was very ambitious video. Respect for makers.
I use their tyres on my road bikes, they're superb.
they gave me sports contact 3 when changed recently. thought they was discontinued
I checked my car's tires. I could not find the little orange woman. What should I do next?
It's just Unrealistic
I love my Continentals...I'll take them over Michelin or Bridgestone or Goodyear.

Better than Michelin you say?
How will i become their agent in Nigeria?
Probably not by asking in the UA-cam comment section...

CC6 is average but slightly better than XM2.
Tried to be too cute - this video could lose 5 minutes without losing actual information.
Silly introduction
