Continental HSR2 385/55 R22,5 160K (Рулевая ось)

The Continental company has been occupying the leading positions among manufacturers of truck and passenger tires for a long time. Throughout its existence, the company has accumulated vast experience and a large number of innovative solutions, which enable it to produce high-quality tires with excellent performance characteristics.

The summer tire Continental HSR2 is specifically designed for trucks that perform regional transportation, even in difficult road conditions.

Air-Keep System

When developing the tire, the company's specialists focused on increasing the strength of the carcass. It features a new triangular four-layer breaker, a unique Air-Keep system, a new contour, and a steel-reinforced cord sidewall. This combination has made it possible to increase the tire's service life and reduce rolling resistance, which is very important for any carrier. The more rigid carcass has a new optimized shape. As a result, it was possible to increase the volume of the cavity, which contributed to an increase in the permissible loads and the service life of the tread. These innovations have made it possible to reduce fuel consumption during vehicle movement and increase the durability of the suspension. According to the tests conducted, it has been determined that the rolling resistance has decreased by 15 percent, resulting in a 3 percent reduction in fuel consumption.

Unique Tread Pattern

The tread pattern was developed using computer modeling, which made it possible to optimally select the tread blocks of the Continental HSR2. It has four stiffness ribs, which significantly reduced rolling resistance and increased the contact area with the road surface. This tread also has a minimal number of grooves, as they increase rolling resistance. The movement of the tread blocks and grooves harms smooth rolling, so the fewer grooves there are, the less rolling resistance there is. However, grooves contribute to increased traction, so it is necessary to have them in small quantities.

This tire has passed certification under the SmartWay program as a truck tire with minimal rolling resistance. Based on the data provided by the manufacturer and obtained during research and testing conducted by the EPA, it has been found that the use of the tire contributes to a reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Unique Rubber Compound

A specially developed rubber compound has made it possible to improve traction characteristics when driving on a wet road surface. The combination of the rubber mixture and the reinforced carcass provides increased reliability against possible damage and tears. Special additives in the rubber mixture have made it possible to increase the tread's resistance to wear, increasing its mileage.

By purchasing this tire, you get an optimal ratio of quality, reliability, and cost.

Main Features of the Continental HSR2 Truck Tire

- Maximum working characteristics and increased protection against possible punctures and damage are provided by a special rubber mixture and a deeper tread pattern;
- Patented geometry of the optimal arrangement of tread blocks has made it possible to obtain additional protection against delamination, damage, and tears;
- The presence of a special protective rib, which provides increased protection against curbs;
- A patented system of stone ejectors has increased the potential life cycle of the tread;
- Unique VAI+ technology - a system of indicators that report uneven wear, this is an improved original VAI system, which makes it easy to calculate the remaining tread depth.
