Fort Mill, S.C., October 20, 2025 — Continental Tire the Americas is proud to announce the launch of the ContiTread HTR, a next-generation retread engineered to meet the demanding needs of trailer service across regional and long-haul applications.

Built with a lightweight, resilient compound, the ContiTread HTR delivers consistent, dependable performance in challenging environments. Its robust tread pattern and enhanced rounded shoulder design offer superior durability in high-scrub conditions, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of vocations.

“The ContiTread HTR represents a significant advancement in retread technology,” said Shaun Uys, Vice President of Continental’s U.S. Commercial Vehicle Tire business. “We’ve designed it to outperform its predecessor, the HTL.”
