Continental takes the weight with new trailer tyres19 August 2015

Continental says it is aiming to help operators maximise loads and minimise fuel costs with its new trailer tyres for mega liners.

The Conti Hybrid HT3 435/50 R 19.5 is the latest addition to the Continental portfolio and, along with the 445/45 R 19.5, is designed to boost load capacity and service life, combined with a lower diameter.

Like comparable 22.5-inch tyres, both the 435/50 R 19.5 and 445/45 R 19.5 allow an axle load of 9 tonnes and can be used on semi-trailers of mega liners to optimise internal load height.

The manufacturer says its developers have reduced rolling resistance by 15%, meaning both tyre types have a B rating and can reduce fuel use on regional or long-distance operations.

Both also feature the M+S (mud and snow) symbol.
