Continental expands its range of winter truck tires

Continental has announced that, as part of expanding its winter commercial tire line, Conti Scandinavia has added a new tire in the size315/60 R 22.5for the steering axle (according to the manufacturer's website, available in the new size)Conti Scandinavia HS3), which, like other models in this family, is designed to provide reliable grip on asphalt—including wet surfaces—as well as on snow and ice, and, according to the company, features high durability and low rolling resistance.

One of the key features of these tyres is the "dual-layer siping" technology, designed to help the tyres maintain their performance characteristics throughout their entire service life. In addition, the specially developed tread rubber compound remains flexible in low temperatures, ensuring the necessary grip in winter conditions, while attention has also been paid to reducing noise levels.

"Winter tires must guarantee optimal grip and handling in challenging conditions, without compromising tread life or energy efficiency," says Hinrich Kaiser, head of development for commercial vehicle and bus tires at Continental. "The Conti Scandinavia range fully meets these requirements, and the new 315/60 R 22.5 tire for steering axles further expands our offering for customers."

In addition to new tyres, Continental also offers tread regeneration solutions that extend the casing's service life. "By regenerating premium tyres, fleet operators can maximize the potential of their existing resources, while the regenerated tyres fully meet carriers' requirements in terms of performance," the company says.
