Continental, a leading German tyre manufacturer, has introduced the first batch of its new Generation 6 tyre range which has been specifically designed for the Middle Eastern market.

Aimed at servicing up to 40 per cent of the region’s tyre market, Continental’s new range offers car owners a selection of robust tyres designed to cope with the road conditions found across the region, said a statement from the company.

Consisting of 60 different sizes across three distinct product lines, the new tyres have been dispatched from Europe directly to the markets across the Middle East region and comprise ComfortContact 6 for smaller cars and city driving; UltraContact 6 for larger sedans; and MaxContact 6 for high performance vehicles, it said.

Providing a wide range of options for customers, the new premium tyre range will service small to high performance cars, combining advanced German technology with local expertise to deliver unmatched levels of comfort and robustness suitable for the driving conditions faced by the region’s drivers, it stated.

The new tyres have undergone intense safety checks ensuring one of the safest ranges of tyres on the market in line with the brand’s Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatalities, injuries and accidents on the roads, said the statement.

“With the arrival of the first tyre range exclusively designed for the Middle East, we are confident that our customers will reap the benefit of the Generation 6 tyres’ performance and robustness across some of the toughest terrains and challenging driving conditions of the region,” he added.

The robust design of the new Generation 6 range provides high resistance to damage from hazards such as potholes, debris and kerb impacts, helping to prolong the tyre’s life.
