Continental Introduces a New Steer Tire

Continental Tire North America launched a new fuel-efficient HSL2 steer tire last August for North American heavy duty trucks. According to the manufacturer, this new truck tire has a number of enhancements, including a new tread compound and its own FlexLock technology that offers interlocking mechanism to increase stability and even tread wear. Its Visual Alignment indicator technology makes necessary adjustments within the first 5/32-inch of tread wear to track irregular wear and increase tire life. The HSL2 is available in the following sizes: 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 275/80R22.5 and 285/75R24.5.
