Continental HDR2 EP
This model is an innovative drive position tire developed especially to provide performance in terms of fuel usage, traction, uniform tread wear, mileage, road safety, and road grip. It is designed especially for regional hauling on-highway service.
The HDR2 EP comes with a SmartWay Verified tread compound molded into an aggressive tread pattern that presents open shoulders designed to deliver superb lateral stability, improved traction, and better overall performance. With a large footprint for better pressure distribution, it offers more adherence, increased mileage, and more stability at the same time. Multi-rib design is to reduce the road noise for a comfortable and quiet ride experience. It uses the 30/32 tread that presents a durable tread compound to provide casing durability, reducing the impacts from road shocks and other hazards. Continental engineers use the latest innovation in the tire industry to provide longer wear and lower rolling resistance by predicting rubber characteristics at the molecular level. Compared with the original HDR2, this model provides up to 20% less rolling resistance.
For safety reasons, this model is built on the all-new Conti 3G Casing combined with innovative groove geometry designed to reduce stone drilling/retention maximum casing durability for possible multiple retreads. Two wide, deep circumferential grooves and lateral grooves provide high aquaplaning resistance by better water and slush evacuation from under the contact patch, improving wet traction and braking performance.
Continental HDR2 EP is available in 22.5-inch size, being one of the best drive options tires for a wide range of commercial vehicles used in people, goods, and construction transportation.
