If your Mercedes, BMW or Porsche came on Continental, check the sidewall for MO, star or N markings, and for ContiSilent (foam inside for EVs) or SSR (run-flat) labels, and buy the same version. UAE stock is made in Germany, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Malaysia and China. A typical DOT code reads 2125, meaning week 21 of 2025. In summer, check pressure at least every two weeks, because hot-weather pressure loss affects wet braking later in the year.
