Continental Quiet Tyres

Continental Quiet Tyres uses remarkably simple solution to absorb tyre sound waves

Okay, let’s talk about something that has car aficionados and tech heads buzzing: Continental tyres and their innovative usage of Black Chilli rubber compound. This isn’t your typical tyre presentation; it’s about how Continental is changing the game, particularly for performance and electric vehicles. So buckle up, and let’s take a ride around this technological marvel.

Continental tyres are like the Wayne Rooney of the tyre business.

They are dependable, high-quality, and have extensive experience. But what’s made them stand out recently is this black chilli rubber compound. No, it’s not anything you’d put in your curry; it’s cutting-edge technology that’s propelling Continental tyres forward, particularly in the performance and electric vehicle (EV) markets.

So, what’s the big deal with this black chilli?

It is all about grip and rolling resistance. Imagine walking on ice in your ordinary trainers vs. a pair of high-quality hiking boots. That is the type of difference we are discussing in terms of tyres.

This compound adapts to the road surface, providing your vehicle with a hold as tight as a Yorkshireman’s grip on his wallet. It translates to superior handling, shorter braking distances, and a generally safer driving experience.

Having tyres that can handle wet, dry, cold, and everything in between is a blessing, especially in the UK, where the weather is unpredictable.

But here’s the kicker: Continental Quiet Tyres

Continental didn’t stop with performance. They went ahead and applied a foam inner to the tyre. Why? To calm them down. Anyone who has driven or been near an EV knows how quiet they are—almost stealthily quiet.

What’s the problem? Tyre noise becomes more noticeable. Continental’s approach was to add a layer of foam within the tyre. It’s like putting a silencer on a Yorkshire Terrier; it doesn’t halt the energy but rather reduces the noise.

This foam lining is a game changer for EVs and performance vehicles.

It lowers interior noise, allowing you to ride as quietly as a church mouse. This means you can listen to your EV’s purr or your performance car’s growl without being distracted by tyre noise.

So there you have it: Continental tyres with a black chilli compound and foam liner. It’s a rubberized innovation that improves your driving experience by making it safer and quieter.

Whether you’re flying through the streets of Halifax or cruising down the highway, these tyres have you covered. It’s the type of technology that gets a nod of approval at the local garage and a thumbs up from tech enthusiasts. Folks, drive safely!

I was amazed to hear

that Conti’s engineers say is the black chilli rubber compound. Hence, that is used in the foam lining of the new Quiet Tyres. Importantly, it is designed to mesh with the roughness of the road. At the same time, temporary atomic connections.

Thus, between the tyre  and the road surface, there is high adhesion, like small suction pads. Both factors make for the greatest possible adhesion.

As a result, in all directions,. Continental Quiet Tyres

Including during braking, cornering, and acceleration. Of course, on both wet and dry roads.”.

These new quiet tyres will be on sale for use on high-performance cars. The tyres were shown off and tested on the roads of southern Spain, near Marbella.

The event was attended by top motorsport journalists on a 300-mile stretch of roads, using cars like the Jaguar F-Type, Mercedes CLA AMG, BMW M4, Porsche Macan S, Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray and Tesla Model S.

Continental Quiet Tyres

The engineers at Continental tyres must be highly delighted. Especially with recent innovations. Continental quiet tyres, as I call them. Have brought a different meaning to tyres that you simply cannot hear. This is a great advantage for all types of vehicles. Especially the supercars that rely on comfort. The new “Continental Quiet Tyres” will certainly give them that.

The theory is quite simple.

It is like any kind of soundproofing. Just a layer of special foam material bonded to the inside of the tyre tread. The strip is from 100 to 120 mm wide and is fitted to the whole circumference of the inside of the tread area by using ContiSeal. ContiSeal is a puncture repair material to bond the strip into the Continental quiet tyres.

The system can be used on almost any radial tyre.

The foam is very light and has no effect on the weight or balancing of the tyre and wheel assembly.

Continental Winter TS850 Tyres

Continental Winter TS850 Tyres

I have made extensive inroads into the perfect winter tyre. Of course, I mean that they are most suitable for larger and sportier cars. Hence, such as BMW’s and Mercedes.

Continental is, of course, a German company.

Thus, they are interlinked with the German tyre manufacturers. This is, of course, a natural thing to do. Mainly because of their close proximity to each other.

Therefore, it makes sense to cooperate with each other. Naturally, in the compatibility of interlinking products,. Of course, this could be just seen as progress. Indeed, it probably is.

Car design and manufacturing are fast-moving sciences. Therefore, tyres have to keep up with the pace. The tyres of yesteryear would be no good for the modern fast coupe. Of course, that is produced in Germany.

Tyre buffs, only have to look

At the Conti Contact range of tyres. Each new car that is developed now requires a tyre to match. Continental has always been at the forefront of tyre development. This meets all the qualities of the large German car manufacturers.

This tyre development also includes winter tyres.

Germans and other Europeans have an urge to head to ski resorts during the winter.. This means that these large cars require tyres that will go down the Autobahn at over 100 MPH and then drive up mountains to reach the snow slopes.

This is where the Continental Winter TS850 tyres come into their own. These tyres were tested by the German car magazine Auto Zeitung The ContiWinterContact TS 850 defended its title and again finished best in the test.

The Continental Winter TS850 tyres offer exceptional traction on snow and ice due to their distinctive tread pattern and compound, providing a stable and safe driving experience at snowy ski resorts.

Superior Braking Performance:

These vehicles possess outstanding braking capabilities on wet and slippery ground, which is a vital attribute for safely manoeuvring over winding and potentially treacherous mountain roads.

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: These tyres are designed to minimise rolling resistance, reducing the workload on your engine and resulting in fuel savings over your extensive journey across Europe.

Minimised Aquaplaning Risk:

The tread design efficiently disperses water and slush, decreasing the likelihood of losing control on wet roads (aquaplaning) and ensuring your safety in unforeseen heavy rain.

Extended Lifespan: Renowned for their robustness, the TS850s exhibit superior resistance to harsh winter circumstances compared to numerous other tyres, rendering them a prudent and enduring option for frequent winter travellers.

The tyres are specifically engineered to minimise road noise

providing a serene and pleasant driving experience. This allows you to fully appreciate the picturesque European landscapes without any bothersome tyre noise.

uniroyal tyres rainsport 3
Uniroyal Tyres Rainsport 3 with its asymmetric tread pattern.

Have always been a popular choice for the tyre buying public of Halifax here in Yorkshire, UK.
The tyre that has been the most popular has been the Rainsport 2 tyre.

This tyre has started to become obsolete, not with the keeping of modern cars and their developments. The tyre has served Uniroyal very well over the years.
I first started to buy tyres from Uniroyal Tyres way back, when they had a distribution centre on the Leeds Ring Road at Seacroft.

This made it easy for us to collect tyres when we needed them.

The company was then absorbed into the giant Continental tyre empire. The Seacroft depot was closed down and moved to the Continental distribution centre in Castleford, about twenty miles away, close to the M62 motorway system.


The Rainsport 2 had a directional tread pattern

but was less responsive than the new  Uniroyal Rainsport 3 . Modern cars require much quieter tyres, and so the Rainsport 3 was developed as a non-directional tyre.

This has been a common trend among tyre companies. Recently, I have noticed that Michelin has introduced the CrossClimate tyre, which has a directional tread pattern?
Uniroyal also makes a range of MPV and van tyres called the Rain Max 2 tyres. These tyres offer great stability and grip in wet weather and are a market leader.

The Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyre is an asymmetric tyre,

which means that the tread pattern is different across the tyre width, and the sidewalls are marked inside and outside so that they can be fitted correctly onto the vehicle.

These tyres should be replaced or fitted in sets of four. They will give the car much safer cornering and stability at high speeds.
They are available in the Halifax area of Yorkshire from us at Pellon Tyres or can be bought online at

Subsequently, this is about your car’s safety.

Especially in wet weather conditions. Therefore, with winter approaching, it is well worth considering which tyres to fit.

Many motorists prefer to keep their summer tyres on the car in the winter. Hence, it could have something to do with their particular finances. Whatever the reason, it is a wise move to check out your tyres before the inclement weather arrives.

Some of our customers have a low budget.

Therefore, they will buy a budget brand of tyre. Here at Pylon Tyres, we recommend the use of Jinyu tyres. Jinyu are of excellent quality and can be bought at a reasonable price.

Other customers prefer to fit the same tyres as the car. For example, if Michelin tyres were fitted, they would replace the worn-out tyres with Michelin ones again.

Other customers will ask for our opinion as to which tyres to fit.Accordingly, I happen to like Continental tyres. Of course, we actually stock these tyres in the popular sizes. One of the reasons is that we trust Continental products, after many years of my experience in the tyre business.

Continentals Dandelion tyres

continentals dandelion tyres
Russian varieties of dandelions will be grown in vast quantities.

Continentals dandelion tyres

Continentals Dandelion tyres

There is no doubt that in the past forty years since I have been a tyre retailer, the discovery about the humble dandelion, helping to make tyres, has to be up there in the top ten of tyre-related discoveries.


Many car owners are unaware of the massive amount of raw materials that go into making the humble tyre. Indeed, car tyres use a large amount of crude oil in their manufacture.

The oil is used mainly for making

carbon black, resins, and anti-aging chemicals. Also, synthetic rubbers, which all require crude oil in the manufacturing process,.
Tyres also consume large amounts of natural rubber. In fact, the average car tyre uses between 10 and 30% of natural rubber in its make-up.

The larger truck tyres obviously use much more. Rubber plantations grow in the sub-tropical regions of the world. They grow in such countries as  Brazil and Malaysia.

Can Continental make tyres from Dandelions 

Yes, it is possible to make tyres from dandelions. Dandelions are a type of plant that is abundant and easy to grow, and they can be used as a natural rubber substitute in the production of tyres.

To make tyres from dandelions, the rubber is extracted from the plant’s roots and processed into a usable form.

This rubber can then be used to manufacture tyres in a similar way to traditional rubber tyres, with the added benefit of being more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

While Continental Dandelion tyres are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been widely commercialised, research and development in this area are ongoing, and it is possible that dandelion tyres may become more common in the future.

It is elastic and durable, as well as resistant to abrasion. It is an ideal material for the rubber production that goes into the manufacture of tyres.
Enter the good old dandelion
due to the fact that we are slowly running out of sustainable materials. Researchers have been looking for alternatives.

Continental has been working with the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany to find alternatives to the dwindling rubber plantations.

Continentals Dandelion tyres
Dandelion tyre now on test

Scientists from the continent were looking for something with a molecular structure similar to the latex that rubber trees produce. When the stem or leaf of the dandelion plant was broken, it emitted a similar white, milky liquid. The gardeners amongst us will know this only too well.

Continentals Dandelion tyres

The dandelion also has a very similar crop yield to the rubber trees, producing 1 to 2 tonnes per hectare.

Dandelion Tyres from Continental: An Eco-Friendly Revolution in Tyre Production

Continental has looked to an odd source in its pursuit of sustainability and innovation: the common dandelion. Yes, you read correctly: the weeds with yellow flowers that are appearing in fields and gardens are being used to transform the tyre industry.

Let’s explore what makes Continental’s dandelion tyres special and why drivers should care about them anywhere, particularly in Halifax.

The Dandelion Tyres Science- Continentals Dandelion tyres

The outcome of several years of research and development is Continental’s dandelion tyres. The main ingredient is natural rubber that is taken from Taraxacum kok-saghyz, or Russian dandelions’ roots.

While dandelions can be grown in temperate countries and harvested in a single growing season, traditional rubber trees require tropical conditions and take years to mature. They are therefore a more environmentally friendly and sustainable supply of rubber.

Environmental Advantages- Continentals Dandelion tyres

Reducing the environmental impact of tyre production is one of the main benefits of using rubber obtained from dandelion. In tropical places, traditional rubber plantations are a contributing factor to deforestation and biodiversity loss.

On the other hand, dandelions can be cultivated on ground unsuitable for food crops, sparing agriculture from rivalry and lowering the need for deforestation.

The community in Halifax is becoming more and more concerned with sustainability; thus, this move towards producing tyres in a more environmentally friendly manner is a positive development. We can bring about a more sustainable future by endorsing goods like Continental’s dandelion tyres.

Effectiveness and Calibre

Is it possible for these environmentally friendly tyres to outperform conventional ones? Without a doubt, the answer is yes. Continental has made sure that the performance, durability, and safety standards of their dandelion tyres are on par with those of their traditional equivalents.

Extensive testing has demonstrated the superior flexibility and wear resistance of the natural rubber derived from dandelions, rendering these tyres a practical choice for daily driving.

Prospects for the Future and Local Effect

Though it may seem a bit unconventional, the idea of dandelion tyres is already causing a stir in the business world. To increase production, Continental has made investments in research labs and pilot programmes.

This invention might not only revolutionise the tyre business but also open up new doors for agriculture in places like the UK.

Imagine Yorkshire being home to dandelions that are grown expressly for rubber manufacturing. It’s a promising idea that might help our local communities economically and environmentally.

Final Thoughts

Continentals Dandelion tyres are a ground-breaking advancement in the production of environmentally friendly and more sustainable tyres. Continental is lessening the impact of tyre manufacture on the environment while upholding the high performance requirements that drivers demand by utilising the dandelion’s potential.

This innovation serves as a timely reminder of the value of promoting sustainable technologies here in Halifax. Think about the green revolution that Continental’s dandelion tyres are bringing about the next time you’re in the market for new tyres. A minor adjustment can have a significant impact.

Travel responsibly and safely!

This type of innovation by the Continentals Dandelion tyres is going a long way towards reducing our dependency on fossil fuels and, in my opinion, is a great step forward.

Continental Tyres Ten Reasons were first made in Hanover, Germany

Continental Tyres Ten Reasons

Continental Tyres Ten Reasons
Continental Tyres Ten Reasons

Continental made soft rubber products and solid tyres for the first bicycles and horse-drawn carriages. In 1892, the company started to make the first Pneumatic tyres in Germany.

  • Continental tyres were the first to have a tread pattern. This was for added grip, and it was already clear that the German tyre company were becoming very innovative.
  •  In 1905, not long after the addition of a tread pattern,. Continental invented the anti-skid tyre, which was a forerunner the studded snow tyres that we are familiar with today.
  • Continental tyres celebrated their 50th anniversary. They were to be the first German tyre company to add textiles to the tyre product with the addition of cord casing onto the market. Linen was the material that was used before this new method. This discovery was now to be replaced with a more workable cord-fibre fabric. At the same time, they started to make large pneumatic-fit trucks.
  •  In 1926, carbon black was to be introduced into the tyres compound. This would give the tyres more strength and make them last longer. Once again, Continental were a leader in innovation and strove to make a better product. Continental Tyres Ten Reasons
  • Had already been involved in early motorsport events. In the mid-1930, racing tyres were fitted to Auto-Union and Mercedes racing cars with four straight wins in the German Grand Prix.
  • They also were beating numerous speed records. Their tyres were proving to be of exceptional quality even in the early years.
  • The war years saw very little movement from Continental production. But in 1945, production resumed after permission from the British government. In 1955, Continental started producing the “tubeless tyres” that would be fitted to most cars.
  • Bringing things more up-to-date. 1979 would see Continental buying American tyre company Uniroyal. Thus, gave Continental a much larger base in Europe, of course, including the Uniroyal tyre buyout. This would be the start of the German tyre maker. Therefore, it is becoming so common here in the UK.
  • The 1980s would see more acquisitions, with the purchase of General tyres in America and a cheap tyre brand from Portugal called Mabor tyres. Both Mabor and General were well-known brands here in the UK.
  •  Continental tyres then bought a large share of Czech tyre company Barum, another famous budget tyre brand, along with 50 tyre dealer outlets.
  • At this stage, they were well known all across Europe and not only here in the UK. They had amassed more than 2000 tyre retailers across 18 European countries and were now becoming contenders for the largest tyre company in the World, a feat that they later achieved.

Continental Tyres Ten Reasons . are no doubt the world’s biggest tyre innovators. They have put billions of Euros into tyre research and development.

Consequently, the giant German tyre company have developed this new tyre. Hence, with the aid of fellow German company VW,. So it will fall in line with most other leading tyre companies . Who are now making similar models of tyres.

www.wintertyres-yorkshire.co.uk

Continental tyres are joining the tyre revolution,

Continental tyres has achieved this by developing more environmentally friendly tyre products. This can be done by improving the rolling resistance of the tyres.

This means the tyres will offer less friction resistance.Naturally, between the road and the tyres, this allows the tyre to go further in one turn. Thus using less fuel and, therefore, making the car more fuel efficient.
This is only one small part of the overall picture.Thus, from the car manufacturer’s point of view,.

Which have to reach severe reductions in their overall emissions reductions. Of course, both individual governments and various groups of countries set those.

Continental tyres use Green Chilli oils in their compounds. Continental Tyres low-rolling-resistance tyres

The tyres will be known as the Conti E Contact.Of course,  are now available for the SUV market. Continental tyres also use a vegetable oil made from a “green chilli” compound.

Which is the latest achievement in reduced rolling resistance and performance. Naturally, for excellent tyre handling, safety, and better braking,.


Yokohama adds Orange peel oil.


Different tyre makers achieve this goal in a variety of ways. Yokohama tyres from Japan have developed the use of the various oils.Specifically orange peel oil in the mix of their compounds to reduce the number of petrochemicals that are used.

This also reduces the tyres reliance on carbon-based chemicals and makes the product greener and more

environmentally friendly.
This new tyre is aimed at the very modern compact car market.  The AE-01 is constructed from a jaw-breaking 80% of renewable materials. Including the orange peel oil and a nano-blend of oils is a great achievement.

Continental tyres are still in the “Dandelion Latex” development story

Continental tyres, along with the giant Bridgestone tyre company. Are still hedging their bets.

On the future use of the dandelion plant to produce latex. With a similar molecular structure to rubber latex. But we are still a few years away from this being used and tested on tyres that are to be used by the public.

The tyre companies are investing millions of dollars in research and development, as they see the dandelion as a great benefit in the future.
Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offer car and van servicing and repairs for all makes of tyres.
