ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Continental's new CrossContact A/T2 tyre is a direct challenge to other all-terrain tyres in the Australian market, and its better off-road performance will likely attract buyers who need a tyre that can handle tough conditions.

The CrossContact A/T2's improved performance will be a key selling point for dealers, particularly those who cater to customers who frequently drive off-road or in rural areas.

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who stock the CrossContact A/T2 will need to ensure they have a sufficient supply to meet demand, particularly during peak periods such as holidays or special events when off-road driving is more popular.

The CrossContact A/T2's competitive advantage will also put pressure on other tyre manufacturers to improve their own all-terrain offerings, which could lead to a surge in new product releases and marketing campaigns.

Competitor response and marketing

Dealers can expect a competitive response from other tyre manufacturers, which could include discounted pricing or special promotions to try and undercut the CrossContact A/T2's market position.

To stay ahead of the competition, dealers will need to be proactive in promoting the CrossContact A/T2's benefits and features to their customers, through targeted marketing campaigns and in-showroom promotions.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take a decisive action by contacting their Continental representative to discuss stock allocations and marketing support for the CrossContact A/T2, and to plan a promotional campaign that highlights the tyre's improved off-road performance.
