Continental HTR2
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Load carrying durability
- Longer lasting tread life
- Fuel efficient drive
OVERVIEW
The Continental HTR2 is a touring all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles.
The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The tread pattern and the special tire compound boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tire's tread firmly grips the road surface all year, while the compound maintains its flexibility in all temperatures with ease. The wide circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The improved road gripping ability and excellent hydroplaning resistance increase the year round performance.
The tire's compound is exceptionally durable. It is damage resistant, ensuring a longer lasting usability. The tread's ribbed design and wider shoulder area prevent irregular wear by evenly distributing the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking. The lengthened tread life and superb damage prevention increase the driving safety greatly. The tire's tread and internal structure work together to improve the load carrying capability. The tire does not deform under the load it needs to transport and withstand, making it better to use on commercial vehicles.
The model guarantees a fuel efficient drive. The optimized tread design and the decreased tire weight manage to lower the rolling resistance. The contact between the casing and the tread lessens the tire's overall weight and ensures constant road contact, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. This reduces the rolling resistance, which is the force determining how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lesser the rolling resistance is, the lower the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions will be, making the tire environmentally friendly.
The HTR2 guarantees a road noise free drive. The optimized special grooves negate the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. They channel the airwaves through the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. This lowers the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin and promotes a comfortable and quiet driving experience.
