Continental is expanding its ContiTread portfolio with the introduction of the ContiTread HDL 5 EP, a next-generation long-haul drive retread engineered to deliver dependable performance, improved efficiency and lower total cost per mile for fleet operations.
According to the company, the ContiTread HDL 5 EP retread features an advanced 5-rib tread pattern designed to provide consistent traction while helping reduce fuel consumption on long-haul routes. An optimized footprint combined with a V-shaped groove design promotes even wear, extending tread life and maximizing the value of every retread cycle.
Built with a next-generation compound, Continental adds the retread enhances wear resistance and minimizes heat buildup, allowing fleets to keep trucks on the road longer while reducing overall operating costs. The company also notes 3D metric sipes further enhance traction and provide confident handling across a variety of road and weather conditions.
The ContiTread HDL 5 EP is available in sizes 220, 230, and 240, with a tread depth of 21/32 in., the company says.
