    FORT MILL, S.C. — Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C. has expanded its construction tire portfolio with two additional sizes of the HSC 3 steer/all-position tire.

    The 12R22.5 and 12R24.5 sizes will be available beginning in May. Matching retreads are also available with the ContiTread HSC 3 and ContiTread HDC 3 drive tire.

    The Conti HSC 3 "delivers significant benefits over its predecessor," including an estimated 11% mileage improvement and twice the resistance to cuts and chips versus the HSC1, the company said.

    The off-road belt package delivers improved penetration resistance. Built on Continental's 3G casing for reduced heat build-up and improved retreadability, the tire also features a wider tread platform to increase mileage.

    The Conti HSC 3 answers demands from the market, including on-road mileage, thick sidewall reinforcement and stone ejectors in the tread pattern for self-cleaning to prevent stone drilling, the company said. As an intelligent tire, it is ready for Continental's digital tire monitoring solutions to identify punctures and creeping air loss.

    The Conti HSC 3 has a 24/32nds-inch tread depth and is now available in five sizes: 11R22.5 LRH; 11R24.5 LRH; 315/80R22.5 LRL; 12R22.5 LRH; and 12R24.5 LRH.

    The tire is covered by a six-year, three-retread warranty.

    Continental chose to equip these tires with data-recording sensors "due to the inherent benefits of tire monitoring in the on/off-road environment." The sensors have an expected lifetime of six years or 400,000 miles.
