Conti tyre experts were at hand to even check the tyres of some of the members of the media at the launch today.

It’s a free service for passenger cars, MPVs and SUVs that will be conducted at various Shell stations nationwide, in which Conti’s team of tyre experts will evaluate your cars’ tyres and suggest the requisite attention needed, if any (see chart below for locations and dates)

Should your tyres be deemed in need of replacing or fixing, the venues of the safety campaign are strategically located near one of Continental’s ‘Best Drive’ tyre outlets (see more dates and locations below)

At one or any of these outlets, you can opt to swap your worn tyres for new ones like the Dunlop Formula D05 & SP Sport J5 ,which they launched recently. In addition, those who participate in the campaign will also be given a RM50/- discount voucher (per tyre) to be used toward the purchase of new ones at any Continental Best Drive outlet.
