Continental Tire the Americas has launched the ContiTread HTR, a next-generation retread designed for trailer service in regional and long-haul applications.
The ContiTread HTR retread features a lightweight, durable compound aimed at improving performance in demanding environments. Its tread pattern and rounded shoulder design help resist wear and damage in high-scrub conditions, making it suitable for a variety of fleet operations, according to a news release.
Key Features of the ContiTread HTR Retread Tire
Rounded shoulder design for better resistance in high-scrub environments
New tread pattern to prevent shoulder tearing and enhance stone protection
Heat-reducing compound to preserve casing integrity for future retreads
Available widths from 200 to 240 mm for extended tread life
