surely all tyres print their country of manufacture on the tyre.

 

But not on both side, if you can't find it, its probably on the inner side of the tyres.

 

Maybe next time change must scan thru whole tyre liao... [drivingcar]

Conti tires very funny. Only say german technology. Mabye made in china even.

 

But i got conti max contact 5 fm jb. Says made in msia on tire. But quality not that great.

 

I try abt 150-160kmh on nshw n car swaying a bit. I use yoko a.drive r1 do 180kmh still very stable. But normal driving below 150kmh not much problem on e cmc5.

 

I am using Conti CSC 3 SSR 245/40/18...grip very good but noisy after using 4000km... [bigcry]

continental is good

 

 

[thumbsup] I totally agree.

 

Their tyres are good in all aspects and have no weaknesses, apart from being slightly costlier.

 

Of course there are some tyres with better dry grip but in SG wet grip is more important, and Conti tyres never disappoint in this area.

 

Braking is also one of its other key strengths.

 

For evidence, I have used Conti CSC3 and CSC5 and can testify to this.

Bridgestone has rather good steering feel and good dry grip in general.

I have not used Michelins or Pirellis though.

You have to check thoroughly. These days, tyres are made everywhere around Europe. Usually, those are alright.

 

However, some of the Conti tyres are parallel imported and may come from other countries and may not carry any warranty. I have been warned by one of the more honest tyre dealers. I think the main supplier is Stamford tyre, so it wouldn't help going there to 'check out' their tyres to familiarise yourself with the officially imported ones before getting them elsewhere.

 

Online, you can check out Tire Rack. Under the Specs you can check the countries in which some of the tyres are made. Other than Germany, I know they are made in Czech Republic and Portugal, among other EU countries.
