Continental Tires Kansas City

Continental Tires in Kansas City

Continental is one of the world's oldest and most respected tire manufacturers, producing tires in Hanover, Germany since 1871. Today, Continental tires are original equipment on vehicles from Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Tesla, and dozens of other automakers — a distinction earned through relentless German engineering standards and industry-leading safety performance. At American Fusion Wheels in Shawnee, Kansas, we carry the complete Continental tire lineup and help Kansas City drivers select the right Continental tire for their vehicle, driving conditions, and budget.

Continental TrueContact Tour — The Smart Touring Tire

The TrueContact Tour is Continental's flagship touring all-season tire, and it is one of the best values in the entire tire industry. Its EcoPlus technology uses a unique tread compound that reduces rolling resistance for improved fuel economy — Continental claims up to one full gallon saved per tank compared to conventional tires. With an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty, the TrueContact Tour delivers exceptional longevity while maintaining top-tier wet braking performance.

What sets the TrueContact Tour apart is its QuickView Indicators — alignment-monitoring marks molded into the shoulder that reveal uneven wear patterns before they become serious. Kansas City roads — especially Shawnee Mission Parkway, Metcalf Avenue, and the I-435 interchange ramps — create alignment stress that can shorten tire life. The QuickView system gives you an early warning to get a wheel alignment before your tires pay the price.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus — UHP All-Season King

The ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is Continental's ultra-high-performance all-season tire, and it is one of the best-selling UHP all-seasons in the country. The "DWS" stands for Dry, Wet, Snow, and letters molded into the tread disappear as the tire wears — the "S" vanishes first when snow traction diminishes, then the "W" when wet grip drops, giving you a clear visual indicator of remaining capability.

With Y speed ratings (186 mph) and SportPlus technology for responsive handling, the DWS06 Plus is the go-to tire for Kansas City sport sedan and muscle car owners who need year-round performance. It fits vehicles like the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4/A6, Mercedes C-Class/E-Class, Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang GT, and Chevrolet Camaro. We recommend pairing it with Road Force Balancing to extract every bit of the smooth, precise ride Continental engineered into this tire.

Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 — Maximum Summer Grip

For dedicated summer performance, the ExtremeContact Sport 02 delivers Continental's best dry and wet grip. SportPlus technology integrates Tuned Performance Indicators (wear marks that show remaining performance life) with an asymmetric tread pattern optimized for aggressive cornering. This tire is designed for track day enthusiasts, autocross competitors, and drivers who demand the absolute maximum from their sports cars. Available in sizes from 15" to 22" covering everything from Miatas to Corvettes.

Continental CrossContact LX25 — Built for SUVs

Kansas City drivers love their crossovers and SUVs, and Continental's CrossContact LX25 is engineered specifically for these heavier, higher-riding vehicles. Its Comfort Ride technology uses a proprietary design algorithm to minimize road noise and vibration, while the EcoPlus+ compound extends tread life and improves fuel efficiency. The CrossContact LX25 is original equipment on Honda CR-V, Subaru Outback, Toyota RAV4, and other popular crossovers — and it is one of the most requested Continental tires at our Shawnee location.
