All our tyres are EV-compatible, says Continental Tyre Malaysia

Continental Tyre Malaysia has stated that all of their tyres are suitable for electric vehicles, ensuring safety, comfort, and efficiency

Leveraging German technology and strong R&D, Continental addresses EV-specific requirements such as higher load capacity, low noise levels, and smooth performance.

Globally, the 10 highest-volume manufacturers of fully EVs, including BMW, BYD, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Smart, and Volvo, rely on Continental tyres for their original equipment (OE).

Drawing on its extensive experience, Continental ensures that all its tyres across various segments are specifically designed to be fully compatible with EVs and tailored to meet their unique performance requirements.

Among the Continental tyres available in the market are:

• The SportContact SC7 delivers exceptional driving confidence and performance
• The MaxContact MC7 emphasises precise control and handling
• The UltraContact UC7 is for those seeking both comfort and outstanding wet braking
• The ComfortContact CC7 stands out for its superior comfort and quiet ride
• The EcoContact EC6/EC6 Q are designed to maximise energy efficiency, extending the driving range on a single charge

To ensure a tyre is suitable for an electric vehicle, consumers should look for features such as load and speed indexes of the tyre to handle the increased vehicle weight, traction and grip, and designs that maximise energy efficiency.

In addition to compatibility, Continental offers noise breaker technology that allows for quieter tyres.

“Our tyres are designed not only to enhance performance but also to meet the unique requirements of alternative drive systems. Our product lineup caters to a variety of vehicles, including fuel-powered, hybrid, and fully electric, and incorporates advanced technologies tailored to the specific demands of the Malaysian market,” said Andrea Somorova, Managing Director of Continental Tyre Malaysia.
