Default Continental Tires?

While watching the Bahrain F1 race today on the Speed Channel, I noticed a Continental Tire commercial featuring a beautiful Matador Mica red IS-F on a nice twisty. Is Continental an OEM supplier or just wanting to sell us a tire or two?

Michelin and bridgestone are the only two oem suppliers at this time.

They are just trying to sell tires. After my Continental experience with my 911 I would not buy them again. Noisy and harsh ride quality after 6,000 miles.
