KUALA LUMPUR: Continental Tyre Malaysia has announced a tyre lifetime manufacturing warranty for all its passenger cars, SUVs (sport utility vehicles) and 4x4 tyres.
This warranty applies to all Continental, General Tire, and Viking branded passenger cars, SUVs and 4x4 tyres.
This enhanced warranty provides coverage for the full operational lifespan of the tyres.
The new tyre lifetime manufacturing warranty for the eligible tyres replaces the previous five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
“We don’t just build tyres. We build confidence. This warranty is not just a promise, it reflects the rigorous quality control and innovation that goes into everything we make” said Continental Tyre Malaysia managing director Andrea Somorova.
It covers protection against manufacturing defects throughout the tyre’s operational lifespan.
However, damages resulting from external factors beyond Continental’s control, such as punctures, cuts, or impacts damage caused by road hazard, are excluded from this warranty.
Most importantly, this new tyre lifetime manufacturing warranty is also retrospectively extended to all eligible passenger cars, SUVs and 4x4 tyres purchased prior to this announcement.
Continental continues to offer protection under its Total Confidence Plan (TCP) road hazard warranty, which provides 12 months of coverage from the date of purchase against unexpected road damages, when purchases are registered via the Conti TCP app.
Continental underscores that customers need not be concerned about tyre manufacturing dates, as the tyre lifetime manufacturing and the TCP road hazard warranties provide comprehensive protection over the tyre's lifespan.
This is provided that the tyres are purchased in Malaysia.
Claims under this warranty will be accepted after inspection by an accredited Continental representative or authorised retailer.
Reimbursement will be prorated from the average unused remaining tyre tread depth (RTD).
