German manufacturer Continental also holds an important place in the replacement tire market. In fact, it is the preferred brand of German car owners.

Continental offers a fairly comprehensive range of tires for the summer season from the Touring Contact or TrueContact for "regular" cars to the Extreme Contact Sport for sports cars. Prices are competitive with the brands discussed above.

Note that American brand General Tire is part of Continental and that it also offers very good quality mid-range tires including the popular (and very affordable) Altimax for regular cars, G-Max for sports cars and Grabber for trucks and SUVs.
