Continental tyres
One of the few companies making both car and bicycle tyres in serious volume, from separate factories. ContiSilent is its bonded foam cavity liner, which damps the drumming resonance a quiet electric cabin stops masking.

What else they make
Continental also makes Uniroyal (Europe), Semperit, Barum, Matador, General Tire, Viking, Gislaved. Barum and Matador come out of the group's central European plants and are the budget end done properly. Uniroyal in Europe is a wet weather specialist and has no connection to the American company of the same name, which is a genuine source of confusion rather than a marketing accident. More on who makes what.
