Continental pumps up trailer tyre range with UK HTR2 and HTL2 launch
Continental Tyres is seeking to pump up its truck tyre range with two key 17.5-inch tyres in its trailer portfolio: the HTR2 for regional transport and the HTL2 for long-distance transport operations. The tyres are designed and engineered specifically for volume-based trailers and their smaller circumference allows for greater carrying capacity on regional and long-distance work.
Continental’s HTR2 boasts a high load-bearing capacity and “maximum traction” and performance on any road surface. Its special tread design with blocks and narrow grooves is designed to offer “exceptional directional control” while at the same time preventing stones becoming trapped. Furthermore, Continental’s engineers have designed the specific shape of the tread grooves on the HTR2 to for quiet running on more rigorous regional operations.
