Continental adjusts prices for car tires in response to very high price level for natural rubber
In the European replacement market, prices for summer tires for cars are set to increase by an average of 5% / The new prices will come into effect in all countries until 1st January 2011

In Germany too the average price rise of 5% will apply to all car tire brands belonging to the Continental Group and will be effective from 1st January 2011.
Natural rubber accounts for over 40% of a tire, making it one of the most important raw ma-terials in tire manufacture - even though Continental is working vigorously to find alternatives to gradually replace it, without having to sacrifice performance characteristics in the process.
