ENGAGE360 : Re-CertificationYou signed up on Engage360. Studied all the training
modules; passed all the tests. Now what?
For most other online tire training programs, once you
complete a module or all available, you have to wait for a
new one to launch. This means that after the initial training,
you might get one or two new mods in the next year...
We do it a little differently at Engage360. All of our dealers
have the opportunity to re-certify at the start of every
new year, for two reasons. First, modules are routinely
updated with new information when necessary. Second,
you get to earn points all over again every year in order
to get even more great E360 merchandise!
360EARN MORE POINTS
There are ways to earn reward points that go beyond
the training modules on Engage360.
Our registered dealers can pick up extra points by
playing tire-related games, submitting dealer surveys,
or by liking our E360 facebook page.
YOUR OPINION MATTERS! Not only do we want to hear
your comments and ideas, we will reward you too!
Submit an E360:Dealer Feedback Survey found in the
What’s New section of the training center. Once your survey
is reviewed and approved, your account will be credited
10 points, plus 10 MORE points for the bonus trivia question!
But that’s not all: each month five dealers who submit a survey have
their comments selected to be featured in the Social Media Center
(SMC). Those dealers chosen receive an EXTRA 25 points!

NEW TIREs ON ENGAGE360
CONQUERING THE ROADs IN ANY sEAsON
Three new tires for the PLT segment make a big impact on Continental’s product portfolio. The CrossContact LX25 is a next generation
tire for crossover and small SUVs, with improvements in tread wear over its predecessor, plus car-like style and performance. Rounding
out Continental’s “LT/SUV” segment, is the TerrainContact H/T. This tire is built for larger SUVs and pickups, delivering all-season highway
performance with durability and best-in-class wet braking. These two new tires join the TerrainContact A/T, a tire that is engineered for drivers
of SUVs and trucks needing off-road handling and toughness, while still being able to perform on the street. The third on our list lands in
North America to conquer winter roads. The VikingContact 7 is Continental’s newest winter tire that not only handles snow and ice, but offers
excellent performance on rainy roads – with powerful traction, grip, and braking!
THE ENGAGE360 TRAINING CENTER
“LEARN AND EARN”New items are added throughout the year, so be sure to visit the site often to see what’s new! Our E360:PRO level certified dealers also have access to exclusive merchandise once they become a “PRO”.

CVT UNVEILs NEW TIREs AND NEW TIRE NAMING IN 2019 New tires are added to the commercial vehicle segment, while select tires undergo a new naming format
The new tire modules that launched in the CVT Training Rig included the Construction Group: covering the Conti HAC 3, Conti HDC 3, and Conti HSC 3 tires. The tires in this group cover the Regional & Construction segments, handling on-road travel over streets and highways for medium distances, while also handling the demands of off-road sites, under heavy loads and in dry and wet conditions. The Conti EcoPlus HT3 conversely, covers the Long-Haul Application Goods Segment where fuel efficiency, longer service life, and retreadability options are a must. Finally, the Conti LAR 3 fills the need for an all-position tire in the Regional Application, being equipped for On/Off-Road Light Construction as well. In addition to new tires, the CVT Rig also launched a new module to assist fleet owners in selling Continental’s commercial tire portfolio. This module shows you how to use the ContiAdvantage online portal, which is designed for fleet owners to create the necessary sales materials to present a Tier 1 Level image of product information and quality.
You will also notice re-naming for some of the existing CVT modules. The tires affected on Engage360 are: Conti Hybrid HS3 (now Conti HSL 3), CrossTrac HA3 (now Conti HSR3), and the CityService HA3 (now Conti HAU 3 WT). These updates do not affect the tires’ information or specs, just the nomenclature for each.
