To reach the standard tire manufacturing rules under all temperatures, innumerable studies have been conducted in history all across the world. The studies including experimentations mostly include tires testing in respect to temperature resistance. But when it comes to Continental tires, we don't only look into the temperature shift affecting the tires but also a lot more.
In this video, Andreas Schlenka will tell you everything about our testing methods from temperature check to worldwide ride before the manufacturing of tires.

Testing Tires in Every Situation
We rigorously test our tires on proving grounds throughout the world, including our own Contidrom near Hanover. The world's first completely automated tire-testing system, AIBA, is housed within the Contidrom, where tests are done year-round on wet and dry road surfaces.
Independent testing throughout the world have repeatedly proven our unwavering attention on every area of safety and performance, with us consistently receiving the highest recommendations and honours.
Furthermore, our tires must pass hundreds of rigorous testing conducted by car manufacturers to guarantee that they function to the highest standards. Continental tires are only authorised as Original Equipment after that (OE).
Why is testing necessary?
Apart from that, heat may be one of the main elements for your tires to be damaged in Lebanon. Your tire's deadliest enemy is heat. The higher the temperature of a tire, the greater the chance of failure. Tires are affected considerably more severely in hot weather than in cold weather because they generate pressure and overheat much more quickly, resulting in tire blowouts. Drivers should be mindful of how severe temperatures influence their tires, particularly during prolonged summer heat waves. Increased friction, high-speed driving, heavy turning, and frequent braking during periods of extreme heat can cause the tire to overheat and fail to meet its design specifications. When this occurs, a blow is delivered.
Even while following safe and meticulous driving procedures, excessive heat can cause severely worn or old tires to fail. This is why testing prior to massive production is necessary for tire manufacturers.
Rubber compounds are not all made equal. Temperature, tread wear, load capacity, and speed are all rated separately on tires. When examined under regulated laboratory test settings, temperature ratings show a tire's resistance to heat and capacity to disperse heat.
Verified by partners
The contemporary automobile is controlled by a complicated system of sophisticated components, which includes the tires. The appropriate selection of tires ensures that the car's on-paper performance converts to on-road performance.
It's a good thing, therefore, Continental tires are installed on one out of every three new automobiles sold in Europe. Gaining approval from our partners, as the top OE supplier in the European market, is a proof of a product's high quality. This is why Continental Tire is the best choice in every atmosphere.
