dimensions

PRESS RELEASE October 3, 2023 For Immediate Release

Kontio Tyres, a renowned tire manufacturer, is set to revolutionize the classic car tire market in
January 2023 with the introduction of eleven new dimensions for its celebrated product, the
Kontio WhitePaw Classic. Over the past two years, Kontio Tyres has seen remarkable success
in the USA market, while simultaneously securing its position as the number one seller of wide
radial whitewall tires in several European countries and Australia.
The Kontio WhitePaw Classic, meticulously crafted for classic car enthusiasts, has garnered
significant attention, and CEO Jukka Heiskanen highlighted the growing demand for classic car
tires in America. Heiskanen stated, "There is a substantial population of classic car owners in
America, driving a surge in demand for new tire dimensions. What sets the Kontio WhitePaw
Classic apart is its groundbreaking pricing strategy, which has reshaped the whitewall tire
market. Remarkably, the Kontio WhitePaw Classic costs only half as much as comparable
American models."

Kontio Tyres is now disrupting the market by offering a high-quality alternative at a fraction of
the cost. Rigorous testing has confirmed that the WhitePaw Classic is a modern tire that meets
industry standards while maintaining an affordable price point.

"We are actively seeking opportunities to expand our market presence," added Heiskanen. "Our
presence at the SEMA fair in Las Vegas in 2022, where we were honored with the Global Media
Award, is a testament to our dedication to quality and innovation. Kontio Tyres proudly stands
among an exclusive group of companies to receive this prestigious recognition."

As Kontio Tyres continues to make strides in the classic car tire industry, classic car owners and
enthusiasts can look forward to a broader range of tire dimensions that offer both quality and
affordability. The launch of the new Kontio WhitePaw Classic dimensions in January 2023 is
poised to enhance the driving experience of classic car enthusiasts across the United States
and beyond.
