Tire manufacturer Continental recently expanded its commercial light truck tire portfolio with the new 16-inch Conti LAR 3.
The all-position tire performs well in the high-scrub conditions faced by regional delivery drivers and provides excellent miles to removal, with up to 32 percent mileage improvement over competitor products, the company said.
The Conti LAR 3 is designed to withstand the rigors of regional routes and speeds of more than 90 mph under max load. In addition, its all-steel radial casing is optimized for retreadability, helping fleets achieve a lower overall driving cost.
Other features of the Conti LAR 3 include cut-and-chip resistant tread compounds to withstand high-scrub conditions, optimal handling with a pattern engineered to minimize stone retention and maximize wet traction, and fuel efficiency coupled with excellent mileage. The 10-ply radial provides increased load-carrying capacity and puncture resistance, Continental said, and its all-steel construction is designed to increase retreadability.
The Conti LAR 3 is available in three sizes: LT225/75R16, LT235/85R16, and LT245/75R16.
