New trailer tyre for Conti Hybrid range

Continental has updated its Hybrid tyre line for regional distribution applications with the Conti Hybrid HT3+ for the trailer axle, said to provide enhanced grip, outstanding mileage and maximum efficiency.

Offering powerful performance on winding, hilly roads and a high level of adaptability over long journeys, these tyres are designed for consistently outstanding mileage and minimal fuel consumption, says Continental – both on country roads and out on the motorway.

The introduction of the Hybrid HT3+ follows the recent launch of the Conti Hybrid HS3+ to replace the Conti Hybrid HS3 for the steering axle.

In contrast to the Conti Hybrid HT3 model it replaces, the new trailer tyre bears the statutory 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) marking on its sidewall, indicating its suitability for wintry conditions and therefore year-round use in all weathers.

The specially designed groove geometry and improved pocket sipes offer enhanced grip in wet and wintry road conditions, says Continental, while the tread design ensures outstanding mileage too.

“The new Conti Hybrid HT3+ represents the logical next step for heavy-duty transport,” said Continental’s Hinnerk Kaiser,

“The Hybrid line is renowned for its combination of long service life and outstanding fuel efficiency. This maximises cost effectiveness for fleet operators – and can now do so 365 days a year thanks to the 3PMSF rating.”

The new Conti Hybrid HT3+ is available in the following sizes: 385/65 R 22.5 164K (158L); 385/55 R 22.5 160K (158L) and 385/55 R 19.5 156/J.
