Continental rolls out new drive tire

Deeper tread depth and a cut- and chip-resistant  compound for long, even wear and durability are among the key features of the new HDR1 drive tire released by Continental Tire North America.

The tire has a tread depth of 28/32nds and features long-mileage capabilities for regional haul trucks, said the manufacturer. With Continental’s stone-ejection technology to reduce retention of stones and penetrations to the tire’s casing, the HDR1 still maintains sufficient passage for water, ice and snow, the company noted.
