Continental Tire's Passenger and Light Truck Tires division encompasses the Continental, Uniroyal*, Semperit, Barum, General Tire, Euzkadi, Viking, Gislaved and Mabor brands. Whereas the premium Continental brand enjoys a leading position in the original equipment and replacement business, the other brands are more prominent in the quality and budget segments of the replacement markets. The daily output from the 16 manufacturing locations the company maintains worldwide totals more than 250,000 tires. The two-wheel tires business is also organizationally part of the Passenger and Light Truck Tires division.

Tires are under constant development. Advances in rubber compounds, computer-aided tread pattern designs, and optimized internal construction all serve to smooth the ride while improving traction and handling. Continental has worked to apply these advancements to their latest Grand Touring All-Season tire, the ContiProContact.

The ContiProContact features the latest Silica-enhanced tread compound molded into a unique tread pattern, where curved grooves and sipes replace the traditional notched and blocky all-season tread pattern of older designs. The goal, to provide better wet weather and all-season traction, while remaining quiet and comfortable. To find out how well the ContiProContact meets these goals, The Tire Rack team conducted a Real World Road Ride and Performance Track Drive, comparing the ContiProContact with two other popular tires from the Grand Touring All-Season category, the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H and the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus

The ContiProContact had a nice blend of steering response and overall grip, making it very easy to control when pressed hard.

ContiProContact (Grand Touring All-Season): The ContiProContact is Continental's Grand Touring All-Season tire used as Original Equipment on European sport sedans. The ContiProContact was developed to blend looks and handling with low noise and good ride comfort, and is tuned to match the needs of sporty sedans by providing year-round traction, even in light snow.
