Bus owners back Conti tyres

Comfort, cost effectiveness, and safety are the crucial requirements that bus tyres have to fulfill. Continental’s Generation 3 tyres for passenger transport offer an extensive range of Premium bus tyres.

The Conti Urban, Conti CityPlus, and Conti Coach yres ranges cover every area of use from regular city services through regional transport to the long-distance coach segment. Every tire type has been constructed for a specific use, to meet customers’ needs and uses.

The Conti CityPlus HA3 has been specially developed for use in regional transport and provides exactly what is required in this demanding and growing segment. The tyre, developed for fitment on all axles, is available in size 295/80 R 22.5. It is distinguished by excellent handling and wet-grip qualities, very long service life, and uniform wear. Solid 3D sipes ensure additional grip and consistent braking performance throughout the tires’ service life.

For long-distance travel, the Conti Coach HA3 is available for all-round fitment in sizes 295/80 R 22.5 and 315/80 R 22.5. Thanks to the tread compound which is specially developed for passenger transport, and to a profile design with solid three-dimensional grip sipes, the tires offer maximum safety and optimum ride comfort together with improved rolling resistance.

On the road, the Conti Coach HA3 ensures good longitudinal and transverse grip, directional stability and steering precision, as well as excellent performance in the wet for the entire service life of the tire, thanks to the siping technology.

Constantin Batsch, Vice President Business Region Truck Tires EMEA states: “In the growing commercial passenger transport segment, bus companies face tough international competition, especially in the long-distance transport field. For them the most important aspects are good ride comfort for passengers, safety and cost effectiveness, from fuel efficiency to retreadability – all features which are provided by Continental’s bus tyres.”
