Continental Tire North America, Inc. is now offering cost-conscious trucking companies its first solution for both weight and fuel savings, with the introduction of the HTL1® wide-base trailer tire. Designed for significant weight savings and fuel efficiency, the HTL1® (Heavy Trailer Long-Haul) is a super single tire that replaces duals on highway or regional trailer axle fitments. The HTL1® features 13/32" tread depth, which minimizes irregular wear and maximizes fuel efficiency. The six rib design evenly distributes the load over the crown of the tire to protect the tread pattern from irregular wear, and a decoupler rib provides better irregular wear resistance at the shoulder.
