Compare and Buy Continental tyres Online
Originally a German rubber manufacturing company, Continental, or to give the company its full title, Continental-Caoutchouc und Gutta-Percha Compagnie began producing plain tread tyres in 1898. In 1904 the business went on to make grooved tyres and it was the first company in the world to do so, creating a tread style that is not dissimilar to our tyres today. Continental was the first company to test a driverless car in 1968 and continues to work on autonomous technologies, with a smartphone-activated vehicle being one of their latest projects. As well as making tyres, Continental also makes the rubber soles for Adidas running shoes.How Tyre Runner Makes Tyre Buying Easy.
