MC6 is not Continental tyres. It’s not sold in continental countries. It’s just sime tayar with the Continental brand stamped on it.
FK510 is good. Made in Japan and it’s Falken’s flagship. Tyres I’ve used in the past include PP2, PS3, RE003, P7, GY Revspec RS02, GY Eagle F1 D5. Haven’t tested it’s wet performance yet, but dry is good, just a little less responsive in steering input at low speeds. |

QUOTE(DM52 @ Apr 22 2019, 06:55 AM) Ya agree, continental official retailer here is continental sime tyre pj Sdn Bhd. Licensee? Licensor? What talking you. Sime Tyre is majority owned by Continental. There’s no Sime branded tyres being manufactured anymore. What do you think happened to all the Sime engineers and workers?But, Sime tyre is sime tyre, continental tyre is continental tyre. As a licensee, u cannot simply put ur product line into licensor product. U said, conti mc6 is sime tyre brand but stamp continental. That is very incorrect bro. Mc6 not only sell in malaysia but asean country too. I take example nearest which is singapore and thailand. They also sell mc6 and their official retailer is not sime tyre. So, still MC6 is sime tyre but stamp conti logo on it according to u?  QUOTE(Oldskolboyz @ Apr 22 2019, 08:50 AM) If like that & according to your logic.. Merc assemble in DRB Hicom factory can call DRB Hicom car stamp with Merc logo.. laa.. DRB Hicom major shareholder is Mercedes? 51%? If not what talking you. |

Nolah won't be angry, I'm a huge dxxx anyway You might be old school, I'm the OG around here Mercedes and DRB-Hicom Mercedes AG doesn't own shares in DRB-Hicom, even if they do it is not substantial, obviously DRB-Hicom cannot put their brand name on Mercedes products. Continental and Sime Tyre Continental is the majority shareholder (51% IIRC) of Sime Tyre, they can put their brand on Sime Tyre, they can rebrand Sime tyre, they can do whatever they want with Sime Tyre. QUOTE(DM52 @ Apr 22 2019, 04:14 PM) I made a mistake. I admit it. Its not a licensing, but its a partnership. tyereview UK reviews, other than those done by magazines, are just posted by jokers such as myself and yourself. Anyway my personal opinion is that the MC6 is inferior to FK510 because its Falken's UHP flagship. If Falken's flagship cannot best a Continental AG which is parents company from german buy 51% share from sime tyre. Then name it Continental Tyres PJ Malaysia Sdn Bhd. It consist of brand Continental for premium product, Dunlop for middle product and sime tyre for budget product. Sime tyre is history, but its been replace by viking tyres to cater budget customer. So to answer ur question where this all worker goes, I believe they spread between all this company, conti, dunlop, and newly budget tyre, viking. And I repeat my initial theory, I dont think they stamp low end tyres like viking(since sime no more) and put it become mc6. They cater different target market since one is cater for higher end while cater for lower end customer. And based on positive review from tyrereview uk, mc6 performance is positive which I dont think impossible its from budget resources. This post has been edited by Jason: Apr 22 2019, 05:02 PM |
