Continental Tire North America, Inc. released the latest improvement to its lineup of heavy truck steer tires, the HSU2®. The redesigned tire offers increased tread life through its wider 26/32" deep rib design, now with 17% more wear volume than the HSU®, which provides high removal miles. The tread of the HSU2® is formulated with a cut and tear-resistant tread compound to provide excellent wear in both high scrub and on/off road applications, making the tire ideal for waste haulers, construction and other on/off highway service. Also crucial to these applications is Continental's patented stone ejection system that reduces casing penetrations and stone retention.
