Continental is one of the oldest and largest automotive suppliers in the world, and its tire division has spent over 150 years perfecting the science of grip, control, and safety — particularly in the wet conditions that challenge most tires.
Continental was founded in 1871 in Hanover, Germany — the same year Germany was unified as a nation. More than 150 years later, it remains one of the top three tire manufacturers in the world and one of the largest automotive suppliers of any kind.
Continental's engineering philosophy centers on safety under demanding conditions — particularly wet roads. The PureContact LS and CrossContact LX25 consistently top independent touring tire tests for wet braking performance. The ExtremeContact DWS06+ is widely considered one of the best all-season sport tires available at any price point. The VikingContact 7 brings Continental's engineering standards to the winter tire segment.
At Only Tires, Continental's full lineup is available with free shipping, verified vehicle fitment, and local installation options nationwide.
Over a century and a half of tire innovation, rooted in Hanover and trusted by drivers and automakers worldwide.
The full Continental lineup — touring, performance, all-terrain, and winter — in stock and ready to ship.

Wet braking performance is where Continental consistently separates itself from the competition. The PureContact LS is Continental's touring flagship and earns top scores in independent wet braking tests — outperforming similarly priced Michelin and Bridgestone competitors in multiple European testing regimes. Continental achieves this through its +Silane tread compound additives that create stronger molecular bonding with wet road surfaces. The CrossContact LX25 brings similar wet-weather capability to SUVs and crossovers with strong aquaplaning resistance and short stopping distances on wet pavement. For drivers who frequently encounter heavy rain, highway spray, or wet mountain roads, Continental is arguably the strongest brand in the market for this specific performance dimension.
The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ is a four-season sport tire designed for performance car owners who do not want to manage seasonal tire swaps. DWS stands for Dry, Wet, Snow — and the tire features tread depth indicators that visually signal when performance in each category begins to diminish as the tire wears. It is engineered for sport sedans, performance coupes, and enthusiast vehicles that need strong dry-road handling and precise steering feel without giving up all-season capability. In independent tests, the DWS06+ consistently ranks at the top of the all-season sport category. For drivers of BMW 3-series, Audi A4s, and similar performance-focused daily drivers, it is a standout choice available at Only Tires.
Continental is a German company with its headquarters and primary R&D operations in Hanover, Germany — but like all major global tire brands, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries. Continental operates tire plants in Germany, the United States (Sumter, South Carolina), Romania, Slovakia, China, and several other locations. The U.S. facility in Sumter, South Carolina produces tires for the North American market, meaning the Continental tire you order at Only Tires may well have been manufactured domestically. The specific origin varies by tire size and model, but all Continental tires — regardless of where they are produced — are built to the same engineering and quality standards developed at the German headquarters.
Continental has long been an OEM partner for luxury automakers including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen — a relationship that reflects the brand's alignment with premium vehicle performance expectations. For luxury sedan and premium SUV owners, the PureContact LS is the standard recommendation: it offers a quiet, refined ride with excellent wet and dry handling. The CrossContact LX25 is the equivalent for luxury SUVs and crossovers, optimized for comfort and all-season capability without sacrificing handling refinement. For performance luxury vehicles like the BMW M or AMG lineup, the ExtremeContact DWS06+ or Sport Contact lineup addresses the handling demands at the performance end of the spectrum.
Continental is consistently ranked alongside Michelin and Bridgestone as one of the top three global tire manufacturers — and in certain performance categories, Continental leads the group. In wet braking tests specifically, Continental tires frequently outscore Michelin equivalents in European fleet and consumer publication testing. Bridgestone and Continental trade positions in comfort and tread life testing depending on the specific models compared. The practical difference between these three brands is often marginal in real-world driving, but Continental tends to be more aggressive in engineering for wet handling performance — making it the preferred brand for drivers in high-rainfall regions. All three brands are available at Only Tires for direct comparison.
Yes, Only Tires carries Continental's VikingContact 7 and WinterContact SI winter tire lines, both designed for dedicated cold-weather driving. The VikingContact 7 is Continental's flagship passenger winter tire, engineered for ice and snow conditions with a studless design that uses optimized contact patch geometry and a specially formulated winter compound for grip below freezing. For SUV and crossover drivers, Continental also offers the CrossContact Winter. These are seasonal tires intended for consistent snow and ice conditions — if you live in New England, the northern U.S., or mountainous regions that require or recommend winter tires, Continental's winter lineup is a strong choice.
