This fall, Continental Tire the Americas (CTA) will launch its first low rolling resistance, wide single drive tire. The new Continental HDL2 Eco Plus in size 445/50R22.5 will feature 27/32nds of tread depth, a closed shoulder and regenerating sipes in the middle of the tread blocks. A three-dimensional sipe in the center of each tread block couples the groove under compression for increased strength, but still allows more block flexibility.
