Volkswagen approved Continental tires as original equipment for the new electric ID. Cross on Thursday, November 5, according to a Continental press release. The decision adds a factory-fit application for Continental's tire business as the company focuses on improving profitability in continuing operations.

Market momentum follows tire approval

Continental stock traded at 72.58 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:46 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026, 3.19 percent above the Xetra close of Friday, November 6, at 70.34 euros. The current quote was also 3.89 percent above the 69.86-euro level in the previous English-language report published on November 7.

Five fitments broaden vehicle coverage

The EcoContact 7 is factory-fitted in 17-, 18- and 19-inch sizes. Volkswagen also recommends the WinterContact TS 870 P for colder months and the 18-inch AllSeasonContact 2 for year-round use.

Continental lists five approved combinations across numerous countries. The EcoContact 7 is available in three sizes, while the AllSeasonContact 2 and WinterContact TS 870 P share a 215/50 R18 96T XL application. Continental says the EcoContact 7 targets low rolling resistance and high mileage, with its Smart Energy Casing designed to reduce internal friction.

Outlook and investor dates matter

Continental raised its 2026 outlook after a stronger third quarter in the tire business. The company now expects an adjusted EBIT margin of 13.4 to 14.0 percent for continuing operations, up from 12.0 to 13.5 percent previously, while higher raw-material costs remain a risk for fourth-quarter earnings.

The next investor dates are the UBS European Conference in London on Tuesday, November 10, and an Oddo BHF roadshow in Dublin on Wednesday, November 11. Investors will focus on the delivery of the higher outlook, input costs and demand in the main tire markets.
