    The GP5000 bicycle tire that road cyclists treat as a benchmark is a tiny sideline of one of the largest mobility conglomerates on Earth. Continental AG is a "Big Five" global tire maker (alongside Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear and Pirelli) and, beyond tires, a giant automotive-technology supplier — brakes, ADAS radar and camera sensors, displays and vehicle electronics — so big that it spun off its powertrain business (Vitesco) and is separating its automotive-electronics division into a standalone company. So the premium bike tire enthusiasts obsess over comes from the same German group that makes the tires on millions of cars and trucks and the sensors that help them brake and steer. It's the opposite of the Taiwanese bike-tire story (Kenda, Cheng Shin) earlier in this radar: there, a bike-tire specialist climbed up into car tires; here, an auto-and-tech behemoth reaches down into a niche enthusiast product. Either way, the bicycle tire turns out to be a small node in a far larger rubber-and-mobility empire.
