BTS21: Robust performance

Continental Tyres – designed for challenging Australian on- and off-road applications

Trucks operating in service conditions that require equal amounts of mileage on the road as off the road can subject their tyres to some of the toughest operating conditions.

Robustness and traction are the main tyre characteristics that are crucial in these applications. However, traction-optimised tread designs with wide grooves lead to greater levels of wear at a faster pace as well as increased fuel consumption on paved roads.

For this reason, Continental’s research and development department in Hanover designed the all-new Conti CrossTrac commercial tyre range to overcome these challenges and to lead the way for a new generation of on- and off-road truck tyres.

To fulfil these demanding requirements and provide the ultimate balance between on- and off-road performance, the new Conti CrossTrac tyres have been developed with an innovative tread design for excellent on- and off-road wear performance. By combining different state-of-the-art compounds for the cap and base, the new Conti CrossTrac allows conflicting application requirements to be balanced out.

While the base compound is optimised for low rolling resistance and high mileage, the cap compound is designed for optimum traction, outstanding robustness and impressive chip, chunk and cut resistance.

The result is that the driver can manage any surface with ease. Even under hard braking manoeuvres and changes of direction, Conti CrossTrac tyres never lose traction, Continental Tyres says. Thanks to their robustness, the new Conti CrossTrac tyres simply last longer.
