International tyre manufacturer and automotive supplier Continental guarantees its latest products by offering an extended casing warranty in the Malaysian market with the “C3 - The ContiCasing Warranty.” The C3 warranty provides truck tyre customers with the promise that a Continental tyre will last three lives, first as a new tyre and then subsequently over two retread lives. This means a new truck tyre can last up to 6 years when retreaded by Continental or one of its ContiLifeCycle partners.

Should the new tyre require an adjustment, Continental will provide a concessional replacement subjected to terms in the agreement. The first retread life of the tyre, which is also the tyre’s second life, will be adjusted on 60% of the new tyre price. The second retread life, which is the tyre’s third life, will be adjusted on 15% of the new tyre price. All adjustments will be made by Continental and are subject to the full terms and agreement of the C3 warranty.

It is a term in the C3 warranty that all the retreaded tyres must be retreaded with ContiTread or TechnoTread by Continental or by a ContiLifeCycle partner. The C3 warranty currently only applies to qualifying Continental and General Tire branded radial truck tyres that are 19.5” diameter in size or greater. These truck tyres must also be used strictly for commercial purposes only.
