Continental is expanding its ContiTread portfolio with the introduction of the 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.
The ContiTread HDL 5 EP retread features an advanced five-rib tread pattern designed to provide consistent traction while helping reduce fuel consumption on long-haul routes, Continental reported.
