Continental Tyre Malaysia launches Tyre Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty for passenger cars, SUVs, and 4x4s

Continental Tyre Malaysia has announced a Tyre Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty for all its passenger cars, SUVs and 4×4 tyres, reinforcing its commitment to customer assurance and product quality. This warranty applies to all Continental, General Tire, and Viking branded passenger cars, SUVs and 4×4 tyres.

This enhanced warranty provides coverage for the full operational lifespan of the tyres, reflecting the brand’s 100% confidence in the durability, reliability and performance on the road.

Replacing the previous five-year manufacturer’s warranty, the new Tyre Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty for the eligible tyres underscores the brand’s unwavering confidence in its engineering excellence while ensuring every tyre meets the highest standards of material and workmanship.

“We don’t just build tyres. We build confidence. This warranty is not just a promise, it reflects the rigorous quality control and innovation that goes into everything we make” said Andrea Somorova, Managing Director of Continental Tyre Malaysia.

It covers protection against manufacturing defects throughout the tyre’s operational lifespan. However, damages resulting from external factors beyond Continental’s control, such as punctures, cuts, or impacts damage caused by road hazard, are excluded from this warranty.

By offering protection for the entire operational lifespan of the tyre, Continental aims to provide Malaysian drivers with peace of mind and maximum confidence in all their journeys with Continental. Most importantly, this new Tyre Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty is also retrospectively extended to all eligible passenger cars, SUVs and 4×4 tyres purchased prior to this announcement.

To provide customers with additional confidence, Continental continues to offer protection under its Total Confidence Plan (TCP) Road Hazard Warranty, which provides 12 months of coverage from the date of purchase against unexpected road damages, when purchases are registered via the Conti TCP app.

Continental EcoContact 6 offers noise reduction technology and durability

Continental Tyre Malaysia has announced the arrival of its latest tire products, EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q, for the local market.

Designed for everyday driving, these tires provide comfort, low rolling resistance, and efficiency that contributes to better fuel economy.

Continental has incorporated ContiSilent™ technology—an innovation involving polyurethane foam absorption that can reduce internal noise by up to 9dB, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.

High-tech silica compounds optimize the tires’ rolling resistance, while the asymmetric rib design and tread geometry enhance grip and stability on both wet and dry roads, as well as help reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The EcoContact 6Q features a unique tread pattern and Advanced Green Chili 2.0 compound, designed to adapt to road conditions, providing enhanced rolling resistance and fuel savings.

In addition to being compatible with internal combustion engine vehicles and hybrid engines, the EcoContact 6 and 6Q tires are also suitable for electric vehicles (EVs).

Sizes range from 15 inches to 21 inches and are available at all authorized Continental dealers, as well as through Continental’s official stores on e-commerce platforms like Shopee, TNG eWallet, and Lazada.

Continental expands ContiSeal self-sealing tech to UC7, PCC and UC6 SUV tyres

Continental Tyre Malaysia has announced the expansion of its innovative ContiSeal technology to a wider set of products and rim sizes.

The company said it aims to fully incorporate the ContiSeal technology by July 2024 across the popular tyre models, the UltraContact UC7, PremiumContact C and UltraContact UC6 SUV, in sizes ranging from 16 to 20 inches.

First unveiled in 2003, the ContiSeal technology has been refined for more than two decades, enabling immediate sealing of 80% of all punctures, and 99.9% of tyre punctures up to 5 mm in diameter as they occur.

Through a vulcanisation process, ContiSeal tyre’s durability and elasticity are enhanced, resulting in reduced cavity noise up to 3dB through its minimised mass space within the tyre.

The sealant layer, which is applied to the tyre’s inside in the tread area, ensures that the tyre maintains its integrity and performance, even under rigorous and challenging conditions.

Therefore, in instances of foreign object penetration, such as nails, there’s no immediate need for roadside tyre changes, and holes remain sealed even when the puncturing object is dislodged.

A testament to its tyre reliability, the performance of the self-sealing technology is unaffected by environmental factors, with a service life that exceeds that of the tyre itself, providing continuous protection throughout the tyre’s lifespan.

Contrary to run-flat tyres, ContiSeal tyres perform like standard tyres without sacrificing comfort and require no specific vehicle modifications. ContiSeal tyres also maintain integrity and performance even after a puncture, allowing unrestricted driving and can be repaired if necessary.

Although ContiSeal offers an immediate fix, follow-up maintenance ensures long-term safety and performance. Due to its effective self-sealing ability, many drivers may not notice any puncture or sharp objects penetrated into ContiSeal tyre.

Continental guarantees ContiSeal under their standard manufacturing warranty; in the event of any defect of sealing performance for puncture within 5 mm (in the tread area), a pro-rated warranty reimbursement will be provided.

In addition, by purchasing the ContiSeal tyres, road users can also benefit from the Total Confidence Plan (TCP), which provides a one-to-one tyre replacement for unexpected road damage within the first year, with claims easily managed through the Conti TCP app.
