Continental introduces tires for commercial vehicles in India

The 10.00R20 Hybrid CHA2 tire offers high mileage, re-treadability, and low cut-chip damage. The tire is designed and developed to suit both goods and people segment on Indian roads.

The technology company and premium tires manufacturer, Continental, is bringing 10.00R20 Hybrid CHA2 (Conti Highway All wheel) tire for commercial vehicles (CV) to the Indian market. The newly launched all-wheel tire offers high mileage, re-treadability, and low cut-chip damage. The tire is designed and developed to suit both goods and people segment on Indian roads.

Claude d’Gama Rose, Head of Tires Business, Continental India, describing the product, said, “The 10.00R20 HYBRID CHA2 tire is developed to withstand high endurance in the most trying road conditions and driving surfaces. The highly durable tire is designed to ensure minimum stone trapping, and better wet traction, among others. The Indian CV market is highly receptive to fleet operational efficiency, clocking maximum uptime to secure quick returns. With this given precondition, tires become a vital part of contributing to overall vehicle performance. And our product complements this prerequisite and achieves significantly lower cost per Km.”

The all-wheel tire gives the flexibility advantage while rotating them on different axles as a maintenance practice by the fleet. Further, the new cap compound used in the tires enhances the tread mileage on Indian roads while ensuring a cooler running base and optimal endurance performance. In addition to the enhanced tread mileage, the new cap compound also helps in resisting the cut-chip damage for regional applications. The tire also features a textile reinforced bead that ensures durability at higher speeds, along with new siping technology, which gives the benefit of stone ejection in the tire.
