HDW2 Scandinavia

• Increased tread volume (compared with predecessor).
• Retarder-optimised HDW 2 SCANDINAVIA tread pattern.
• Shoulder block tie-bars for more durable tread.
• Two-phase tread for all-season use at HSW 2 SCANDINAVIA and HTW 2 SCANDINAVIA.

• Steel cord chafer and air-keep inner liner for sustainable casing value.
• Triangular belt designed also for excellent traction in winter conditions.

• Increased tire pattern rigidity reducing deformations and thus lowering rolling resistance.
• Less energy loss due to optimised footprint.
• Well balanced belt-to-tread width ratio to improve deflection on the tread area for better rolling resistance.
• Air-Keep inner liner to maintain proper inflation pressure for longer time.

Using our premium hot retreading service ContiRe™, you give new life to your worn Continental truck tyre and realise the full economic performance of the tyre. ContiRe™ production is compatible to how we manufacture our new tyres – using the same profiles and compound mixtures. Exclusively we use Continental casings, which are retreaded from bead to bead. This method also renews the sidewalls, and the tyres remain regroovable.

To ensure a premium finish, every tyre is put through durability and safety tests in adherence to a standardised quality system. Consequently, every ContiRe™ tyre is covered by our warranty. All this coupled with outstanding mileage makes our ContiRe™ the best choice of retreadable tyre.

During hot retreading, the process of applying the tread material is virtually identical to the production of a new tyre.

The tread material is taken directly from the extruder and applied to the buffed casing. Afterwards the tread/casing assembly is cured in a vulcanisation mould with the required tread pattern. The pattern on the tread is formed during the vulcanisation process just as it is when a new tyre is made.

Our hot retreaded truck tyres are retreaded from bead to bead. The main advantage of this principle is that the sidewalls are renewed, ensuring that the quality of the hot retreaded tyre is comparable with that of a new tyre.
