Continental expands trailer tyre range

Continental has expanded its range of trailer tyres, adding a new size to the proven HTR 2 trailer tyre for demanding road usage on regional routes in the size 425/65 R 22.5.

The new trailer tyre size completes the HTR 2 product range from Continental. The HTR 2 tyre for high loads is characterized by high mileage combined with reduced rolling resistance. This results in a noticeable fall in fuel consumption and costs.

The tyrewith load index 165 for loads up to 5.15 tonnes is used above all on trailers with one or two axles that have to carry almost the whole weight of the trailer as is the case, for example, in logistics for large supermarket chains.

The design of the HTR 2 is based on a durable casing with the familiar 4-ply triangular belt and steel cord chafer. Thanks to a specially configured tyre cross-section with greater air volume, the sidewall stability is increased decisively as is the suspension comfort. Finishing touches to the tyre structure have also improved the retreading quality of this versatile high-tech tyre for heavy transportation.
On the EU tyre label, the HTR 2 425/65 R 22.5 scores the good mark “B” for rolling resistance, “C” for wet grip and it has two sound waves for noise emissions.
All Continental tyres in the new R line feature the patented AirKeep® technology. This halves creeping inflation air loss due to air diffusion. A special inner layer made from enlarged rubber molecules makes this possible. It holds the pressure longer at the prescribed value which has a positive impact on fuel consumption and the tire life.
