Continental Shows Five New Tires

Cinto EcoPlus HS3

Continental says it has rounded out its next generation of long-haul, low-rolling-resistance EcoPlus truck tires by adding a new steer and all-position tire. The Conti EcoPlus HS3 offers a 10% reduction in rolling resistance as well as a 12% increase in mileage over the previous generation long-haul steer tire. Advances include an advanced decoupler groove design and a “flap style” stone bumper system – both of which are said to result in advanced life and retreadability.

The Conti EcoPlus HS3 comes to market in early summer in size 295/75R22.5, load range H construction with 19/32-in. tread depth and Continental’s VAI Visual Alignment Indicator system.

Another steer tire was launched at Mid-America, the Conti Hybrid HS3, a steer and all-position tire for the combined regional and long-haul segment. Available now in size 295/75R22.5 and load range H, it bridges the performance gap for fleets who need to use the same trucks for both long-haul and regional routes without changing the tires. The tire offers an application-specific compound for fuel efficiency and mileage.

Seen for the first time at Mid-America, the Conti TerraPlus HD3 is an off-road drive tire for the high-traction needs of construction vehicles, work trucks, and heavy commercial pickups. The first all-new product introduced in Continental’s 19.5-in. tire line, it will be available later this spring in 225/70R19.5 size. A specialized, aggressive tread pattern with open shoulder, 19/32nds tread depth and an off-road belt package are the hallmarks of this tire, designed especially for the North American market. Conti TerraPlus HD3 also features chip and chunk resistant compounding and a deep lug pattern for optimal traction in off-road, mud and gravel conditions.
