Continental hybrid drive tire suited for both linehaul, regional runs

Continental’s Hybrid HD3 drive tire is designed for fleets that want to place one tire on vehicles that run both linehaul and regional-haul routes.

The tire, Continental’s widest dual drive tire at 248 mm, has a 27/32nds tread depth in a “regenerating pattern” cut in three dimensions that, along with a large tread volume, facilitates long tread life as well as a larger footprint that helps provide added traction when operated on highways.

The Hybrid HD3’s tread geometry helps provide greater traction in regional traffic. The tire is available in sizes 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, and will be available as a ContiTread retread product in late 2013.
