Shopping continental in Oklahoma City? Oklahoma City Tire Shop stocks and orders across the Continental range for drivers in Oklahoma City, OK. The badge on the sidewall matters less than which line inside it suits how you actually drive, and what that line costs once it is on the car — so tell us the vehicle and the miles you put on it, and we will tell you which continental is worth your money and which one is not.
What continental costs installed in Oklahoma City
A continental price that is only the tire is not a price. Our quote is the out-the-door total: the tires, mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service kits, disposal of the old set, and tax. And before anything is mounted we read you the DOT code off the sidewall — the last four digits are the week and year that tire was built, because new is not a date.
Continental orders at Oklahoma City Tire Shop start with the vehicle's door-placard size, load index and speed rating — not the sidewall — because the brand's biggest audience already has Continental as factory equipment on a German car and expects the same wet-braking behavior back, not just a matching diameter.
The Continental customer walking into Oklahoma City Tire Shop usually already has Continental on the car — it came that way from the factory on a German-badged sedan or SUV, and the goal is getting back exactly what left the assembly line, not exploring what else is out there. The brand's case is braking distance and grip in the wet, not the longest tread life or the softest ride, so the fitment conversation starts with the load index and speed rating printed on the door placard, not the size stamped on the tire currently on the car — a lower-rated replacement is a mismatch even when the diameter lines up.
That's also why a Continental order doesn't always happen the same day. A common passenger size might be on the shelf; the specific speed-rated version a German performance trim actually needs usually isn't, so it gets ordered against the placard first and confirmed before it's paid for.
What has to line up before a Continental order actually goes in?
Size is the easy part. The load index and speed rating matter more on cars built for sustained high-speed driving, because dropping to a lower speed rating changes what the tire is rated to handle even if it looks identical on the rack. Staggered setups — a different width front to rear, common on the cars this brand shows up on — get checked on both axles separately, not assumed to match because one side does.
Once the correct tire is in hand, the DOT build date on that specific tire gets checked before it's mounted. A tire that's been sitting doesn't go on a car without that check first, regardless of how it got to the shop.
Where does Continental's coverage stop, and what's pro-rated along the way?
The tread warranty pays out on a pro-rated basis tied to how much wear is left when a claim is made — full replacement isn't the norm past the early miles, and that's true of every brand's tread coverage, not something specific to Continental. Manufacturing defects are covered outright. What isn't covered: a puncture from road debris, a sidewall cut from a curb, or wear that traces back to an alignment or suspension issue that was there before the tire went on.
Road hazard, where it applies, sits on top of the tread warranty rather than replacing it — it addresses the puncture or the cut, not the bill for realigning a car that's been eating tires unevenly.
What's actually included in the number you're quoted?
The out-the-door figure folds in the tires themselves, having them mounted and balanced, fresh valve stems, hauling away the old set, and tax — one number, quoted before the order is placed, once size and speed rating are locked in, so there's nothing added once the car's back on the lift.

Does the shop always have Continental on hand, or does it need to be ordered first?
It depends on the size. A common passenger size sometimes sits on the shelf, but the exact speed-rated version a German trim needs is usually sourced against the door placard rather than guessed from what's already on the car. Call ahead with the size and speed rating and the shop can tell you the same day.
Will the warranty cover a tire that wore unevenly because of an alignment problem?
No — tread and road-hazard coverage exclude wear caused by a mechanical issue like a bad alignment, since that isn't a defect in the tire itself. If a tire looks like it wore that way, the shop flags it before treating the claim as a warranty case.
I only need to replace two tires, not four — does fitment still get checked?
Yes — the two new tires get matched to the load index and speed rating of the two staying on the car, not just the brand, since a mismatch across an axle is exactly what causes handling problems on cars built for this kind of tire.
