Tyre Maintenance Tips for Longer Continental Tyre Life

1. Maintain Proper Tyre Pressure

      2. Regular Alignment and Balancing

Every 5,000–8,000 km, get your wheels aligned and tyres balanced to prevent uneven wear and reduce vibration. Poor alignment and imbalance cause uneven wear.

3. Rotate Tyres on Schedule

Rotate your tyres every 5,000–8,000 km for even tread wear. Refer to your vehicle’s rotation guide.

4. Understand Load Index & Speed Rating

• Load Index: Avoid carrying more weight than your tyre's rated capacity
• Speed Rating: Stick to the designated speed limit for optimal tyre performance and safety

5. Inspect for Damage

Check your tyres regularly for:

• Sidewall cracks or bulges
• Sharp objects or embedded stones
• Tread depth (1.6 mm minimum)

6. Smooth Driving

Avoid abrupt braking or hard cornering. Drive smoothly to enhance the life of your Continental tyres.

7. Smart Parking

Avoid parking on oil spills, extremely hot pavement, or rugged surfaces for long periods.
