Continental HTL2 Eco Plus Trailer Tire
The Continental HTL2 Eco Plus is a long-haul trailer tire built to keep loads stable and operating costs in check. A highway-optimized rib pattern supports even wear and straight tracking, and its low rolling resistance compound helps cut fuel use over long routes. Rated for commercial service and built for sustained highway speeds, it delivers dependable miles without giving up durability or ride quality.
Key Features and Specifications
The HTL2 Eco Plus is purpose built for trailer axles in heavy and long-haul service. Its straight rib tread maintains stable tracking and resists shoulder scrub, and the low rolling resistance compound supports measurable fuel savings. With an L speed rating up to 75 mph, it fits modern interstate duty. A reinforced casing enhances durability under high loads and helps the tire deliver consistent performance across its full tread life.
Performance and Handling
On the highway it focuses on straight-line stability and predictable lane changes, key traits for multi-axle trailers. The ribbed tread helps resist irregular wear that can cause vibration or cupping, which preserves ride quality and keeps noise down. Its construction balances footprint pressure to keep trailers tracking true under variable cargo weights. The result is confident handling in common dry and wet interstate conditions, with an emphasis on smooth rolling and consistent wear.
HTL2 Eco Plus vs other trailer tires
Compared with general-purpose trailer tires, the HTL2 Eco Plus puts fuel efficiency and even wear first for long-haul use. Fleets weighing alternatives, such as other trailer-position ribs or regional designs, will find it better suited to sustained highway speeds and high mileage. Regional tires often emphasize scrub resistance for tight turns and frequent stops. If your routes mix regional and long haul, consider turn frequency, rotation intervals, and pressure policy. For pure interstate work, the HTL2 Eco Plus is a strong, efficiency-first choice.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Impact
Low rolling resistance reduces the energy required to keep trailers moving, which can translate into real fuel savings across a fleet. The HTL2 Eco Plus uses an efficiency-focused compound and tread geometry that limits energy loss as the tire flexes. Over long routes and high annual mileage, this design can help cut CO2 emissions and operating costs. For best results, keep pressures set correctly, check alignment regularly, and balance loads to preserve its efficiency advantage.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
The HTL2 Eco Plus is designed for trailer axles only. Popular fitments include select 17.5 inch and 22.5 inch sizes used on long-haul trailers, such as 215/75R17.5, 235/75R17.5, and 11R22.5. Always verify size, load index, and speed rating against your trailer certification label and fleet spec. Match all tires on the same axle to maintain handling and wear. If you are moving from mixed regional and long haul service, consult your fleet manager or service provider on rotation and pressure standards for your routes.

Maintenance and Care for HTL2 Eco Plus Tires
To get the most from the HTL2 Eco Plus, set cold inflation to match your load profile, watch for irregular wear, and keep axle alignment in spec. Trailer tires can show wear from tight turns, uneven loading, or mismatched pressures, so routine inspections are key. Rotate across trailer positions as your maintenance plan allows, and replace in sets per axle to keep handling consistent. Proper storage, periodic wheel torque checks, and timely repair of minor punctures help preserve the casing and overall tire life.
Rotation and inflation tips for trailers
Set inflation for the heaviest expected load and verify pressures cold with a calibrated gauge. Use TPMS or telematics where available to monitor pressures on the road. Rotate trailer tires to even out lateral scrub, front to rear or side to side per your policy, and replace pairs on the same axle together. After any suspension or alignment work, recheck for feathering or shoulder wear. Track tread depths and pressures consistently to catch issues early and keep the HTL2 Eco Plus delivering fuel-efficient miles.
