Conti Voted ‘Best Brand’ in German Magazine Poll

For the third year in a row Continental has been voted the best tyre brand in a reader poll held by German based car enthusiast magazine Auto Zeitung. Last autumn more than 20,000 of the magazine’s readers voted upon a number of categories, including tyres, with the results published in the latest (4/2010) issue of the magazine.

Contemplating its strong result, Conti comments that the readers’ positive evaluation is also reflected in the very good test ratings awarded to Continental tyres by the Auto Zeitung’s own experts in their regular tests of summer and winter tyres for cars. In last year’s winter tyre test, for example, Auto Zeitung gave Continental’s passenger car tyres the top rating of ‘highly recommended’. In the 2009 test, Conti’s summer tyres for cars also took first place.

In the vote to determine the ‘best brand’ in the tyres category, Continental competed alongside brands from European, American and Asian manufacturers. Auto Zeitung readers also cast their votes in ten other categories.
