Continental Sime Tyre launches Sime Tyres 4x4 tyres

Petaling Jaya, 6th March 2010. Continental Sime Tyre Sdn. Bhd. (CST) officially launched two models of its Sime Tyres 4x4 tyre range at Genting International Convention Centre in Genting Highlands, Malaysia.

The two said models are the Centipede AT and Centipede HT for the All Terrain and Highway segment respectively, and are available in all CST’s network dealers. The tyres, engineered in Germany, are produced in the Alor Star plant in Malaysia.

The range complements the Continental & Dunlop 4x4 tyres that were introduced in the last 2 years, demonstrates “Continental Sime Tyre’s commitment to our business partners, and with your continued support, commitment and teamwork, this will allow us to face the market challenges together,” said Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Benoit Henry.

The Centipede AT is developed for all drivers who intend to use their 4WD vehicles off-road but still want a comfortable margin of safety in road traffic. Regardless of the road condition, be it tarmac, mud, sand or stone, nothing stops the Centipede AT. Its twin-stage groove design increases traction on edges and prevents stones from being wedged in its tread, allowing it to disperse gravel with ease.

On the other hand, the Centipede HT with its triple centre rib design and noise cancellation technology used for optimized pattern design will ensure high safety on dry and wet road conditions while enhancing the driving comfort with minimum noise.

The gala evening, with Chinese New Year theme as well, was filled with food, fun and entertainment. The highlight of the evening was the lucky draw where the grand prize was drawn to dealer Auto Wheel Sabah Sdn. Bhd. who walked away with an Isuzu D-Max. As luck would have it, majority of the prizes also went to the dealers from Sabah.

Sime Tyres 4x4 tyres for exceptional performance on asphalt and in off-road terrain

Petaling Jaya, March 2010. Continental Sime Tyre rolled out two tyre models of its Sime Tyres 4x4 range for 4WD vehicles in its product range for SUVs, pick-ups and crossover SUVs for Malaysia.

Centipede AT

The Centipede AT is developed for all drivers who intend to use their 4WD vehicles off-road but still want a comfortable margin of safety in road traffic.

Regardless of the road condition, be it tarmac, mud, sand or stone, nothing stops the Centipede AT. Its twin-stage groove design increases traction on edges and prevents stones from being wedged in its tread, allowing it to disperse gravel with ease.

The saw tooth shaped pattern design improves traction with the ground and increases steering response, making it easier to traverse mud and sand.

With technology advancement, the computer-optimised-pattern dramatically reduces noise peaks while the low stiffness and density compound provide all-round driving comfort.

The optimised block stiffness with cut and chip resistant compound ensures an all-round even tread wear that is made suitable for all kinds of road surfaces, giving drivers higher mileage performance as well as longer tyre lifespan.

Centipede HT

The Centipede HT is an exceptional performer, either on wet or dry road conditions. Its grip on every corner with all four tyres biting into the tarmac while advanced technology goes to work in minimizing the tyre noise, will surely be the tyre for the driver who wants safety and comfort.

The triple centre rib design with multiple longitudinal and lateral grooves optimizes tread block stability under braking conditions allow for shorter braking distances on wet or dry for higher safety.

The optimized pattern design with noise reduction technology cancels out noise frequencies while the closed shoulder rib-block shoulder design insulates noise in the lateral direction for a more comfortable drive.

The optimized flat tyre contour and wear resistant tread compound evens the ground pressure distribution and the low tread wear allows for higher mileage performance and longer service life.
