Continental Truck Tyre Reference



Based on Continental's web database, we have compiled the most suitable truck tyre pattern based on the truck's application, environment and the constant abuses the truck endures for every working day.

HSR 2


Standard Road Application: Highway, Intercity link road.


Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steer, Drive, Trailer


Standard Truck Compatibility: Freight Containers




This particular pattern HSR 2 is most suitable for logistics measures that emphasis on stability or smooth handling as to cater for volatile goods. With wider tread pattern, even handling and maneuvering a 18 wheeler is similar to a normal passenger car.


HDR 2





Standard Road Application:   Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Drive axle 

Standard Truck Compatibility: Freight Containers/Cargoes 




For this pattern HDR 2 is most suitable for logistics measures that emphasis on stability or smooth handling as to cater for volatile goods. It's rugged design in tread pattern, is deliberately made to be last longer and creates even more vital grip.

HSR M
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steering / Drive / Trailer

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
General Freight Containers/Cargoes



When it comes to HSR M it's relative design of 3 grooves technology offers higher tread volume thus increases it's life span which in return becomes better mileage and lower cost as due to lower fuel cost and frequency of changing for a brand new tyres.


HTR

Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steering / Drive / Trailer

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
General Freight Containers/Cargoes

For HTR it's actually quite similar if compared to HSR M, but the difference begin with HTR's pattern  design that the wide tread area and wide shoulder ribs reduce the wear under high lateral forces occurring on trailer axles..


HDC
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road, Off Road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Drive axle

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
Construction Logistic Management / Logging Operations


Whenever duty calls, HDC is prepared for any hazardous road conditions. HDC pattern is by far one of the most versatile tyre pattern, because it has innovative tread compound with excellent cut & chip resistance for all purpose use, Wingbase tread technology for improved belt durability under different speed and load conditions Reinforced 2nd, 3rd and 4th belt layer for improved wear condition, offering best retreadability.


HSC 1
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road, Off Road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Drive axle

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
Construction Logistic Management / Logging Operations


Similar to HDC rugged design, HSC 1 provides to more necessary steering capability, because of it's intricate design, HSC 1 provides great handling on both off and on road.

HSU 1
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Urban Road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steering, Drive axle

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
City Buses


HSU 1 pattern designed specifically for urban application, adding to that, the designers included physical properties to increase comfortability, resistant to kerbing, due to wear resistant rubber compound and an additionally reinforced sidewall.
