Continental offers new regional trailer retread

Continental Tire the Americas has launched the ContiTread HTR, touted as a next-generation retread engineered to meet the demanding needs of trailer service across regional and long-haul applications. 

Built with a lightweight, resilient compound, the ContiTread HTR delivers consistent, dependable performance in challenging environments, according to Contiental. Its robust tread pattern and enhanced rounded shoulder design offer superior durability in high-scrub conditions, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of vocations.

Key innovations include: 

• Rounded shoulder design for increased durability in high-scrub environments.
• New tread pattern that resists shoulder tearing and provides enhanced stone protection.
• Heat-reducing compound that preserves casing integrity for future retreading.
• Precision-engineered widths (200–240 mm) to support long-lasting performance.
