Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (Continental) introduces its first trailer tire in a completely new truck tire generation for the long haul goods sector, the Conti EcoPlus HT3.
- Provides maximum cost effectiveness by delivering greater fuel efficiency, long service life and retreadability
- Features fuel efficient tread design with four longitudinal grooves and a reduced void area
- Pyramid-shaped triangular bars in the base of tread grooves offer stability against flexing in the tread
- Closed ribs and continuous shoulder provide optimal straight line tracking
- Adds stability and prevents distortion, while giving a wider contact surface area for better rolling resistance
- Tread compound is optimized for rolling resistance in a two-layer construction
- Cap compound ensures optimal contact with road surface for long service life
- Special compound of tread base on the four-layer triangular belt casing reduces heat generation in crown for maximum reduction in rolling resistance
- Fuel Saving Edge relocates rubber away from belt edges, where it’s most susceptible to hysteresis and heat buildup, and moves it to center ribs where it’s needed for longer mileage
- Fuel Saving Edge creates specially shaped contour that provides less rolling resistance, greater fuel efficiency and longer life
- Tread cap is still as wide as Continental’s previous long haul trailer tire, the HTL Eco Plus, for optimal handling
- Rolling resistance has been reduced by up to 13% compared to its predecessor
- Performs below proposed 2015 SmartWay program rolling resistance limits
- Delivers mileage increase of up to 15%
- Features latest Continental premium casing with steel cord chafer enhanced beads, greater air volume and better pressure distribution to prevent heat buildup in tread area
- Casing also comes in standard width that can be retreaded across all axles
- Casing is now 15 mm wider than Continental’s previous HTL Eco Plus trailer tire and accepts caps up to 245 mm
- Available in sizes 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 285/75R24.5 and 295/75R22.5, load range G and in 255/75R22.5 load range H
