Continental HSR 5 Steer/All-Position Tire
The Continental HSR 5 is a steer and all-position tire for regional delivery and urban service. Its ribbed tread tracks straight, brakes predictably, and resists irregular wear. A durable, cut and chip resistant compound stands up to curbs and stop-and-go routes. The reinforced casing is built for multiple retreads, helping lower cost per mile and keep fleets on schedule.
Features and Benefits
HSR 5 uses a ribbed, five-groove tread to spread pressure evenly and slow irregular wear on steer axles. Full depth siping keeps wet grip consistent as the tire wears, while wide circumferential grooves move water out for confident braking and steering. The cut and chip resistant compound is tuned for frequent starts, stops, and curb contact in city work. A robust casing manages heat and supports multiple retreads, delivering stable handling, long mileage, and lower cost per mile.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
The Continental HSR 5 is built for steer and all-position use on regional delivery trucks, vocational chassis, and municipal service vehicles. It fits common Class 4-8 applications where straight tracking and clean shoulders matter. Choose the size that matches your OE spec and duty cycle, and confirm the load index and speed symbol meet your axle ratings. Check the vehicle door jamb placard or equipment manual, and set inflation using industry load tables for your route and weight.
Popular size: 225/70R19.5 HSR 5
The 225/70R19.5 HSR 5 is a favorite on step vans, box trucks, utility bodies, and similar Class 4-6 equipment running city and short haul routes. It balances load capacity with a compact diameter for tight maneuvering. Expect precise steering, confident wet traction, and a casing built to accept multiple retreads when maintained correctly. Verify load index and ply rating against axle GAWR, and set cold inflation from load tables to protect wear and ride.
Pricing and How to Buy
Pricing varies by size, load range, and regional availability. Select your size and quantity to view live pricing and freight options, and check out with commercial friendly terms. Our specialists support fleets and ship quickly from regional warehouses, and can confirm load index and position fitment from your VIN or OE size. Pairing quality casings with a retread program can lower lifetime cost versus repeated new purchases.
Maintenance, Rotation, and Warranty
To get the most from your HSR 5, set inflation by actual load, schedule alignment checks, and watch for shoulder wear. Rotate steer and all-position tires on a regular interval to balance patterns, especially on vehicles with frequent curbside service. Most commercial tires include a workmanship and materials warranty that varies by size and production date, so keep DOT numbers and maintenance records and work with a certified dealer for evaluation. Proper care protects the casing, improves retreadability, and lowers cost per mile.
Continental HSR 5 vs HSR2/HSR3
Compared with HSR2 and HSR3, the HSR 5 uses refined tread geometry for cleaner shoulders and more even wear, plus full depth siping to improve wet grip over the life of the tire. The compound is tuned for urban abrasion resistance. Fleets upgrading from earlier versions see more consistent steer wear and a casing optimized for repeat retreads. Actual gains depend on size and route, but the HSR 5 is engineered for predictable handling and mileage that supports tighter maintenance intervals and lower total cost in regional service.
