... Step 1: The tread area
Product story_HSC1

10. The new products
Step 1: The tread area
The toughness of the new on-/off-road
compound
means increased resistance to
cuts, chips and chunks
reduces the number, and most
importantly the depth
of any cuts and tears
improves protection of the casing
by keeping damage superficial
results in substantially higher
mileage, thanks to its great
durability.

11. The new products
The new compound
Compared to conventional
short polymer chains, long
polymer chains prevent deep
tears.

Step 2: The belt layer & bead
Product story_HSC1

13. The new products
Step 2: The belt layer & bead
The four-ply belt with a reinforced second and third belt layer
withstands highly concentrated pressure
prevents fatigue fractures
means enhanced traction characteristics through the stiffness
of the overall structure
Technologically advanced bead core design for structural durability and
extended product life
Tear-resistant compound at steel cord edges
Increased chafer cord density by 18%
Optimized chafer angle for improved stiffness across body ply
Extruded sidewall, turn-up cover and rim strip
protects the casing effectively and offers best retreadability.

14. The new products
The improved second and
third belt plies
Specially twisted cables, embedded in
an extremely tear-proof mixture isolate
individual tears and reliably hinder
foreign bodies from penetrating.

Step 3: The tread patterns
Product story_HSC1

16. The new products
Step 3: The tread patterns
Greater depth, more volume and an
optimized for use design
result in considerably higher
mileage with even wear
ensure reliable grip and good
handling both on and off the road
improve the tire’s self-cleaning
characteristics and
improves stone-rejection
combine high mileage with significant
traction and optimum road
suitability, whatever the weather
conditions.

Step 4: The contour
Product story_HSC1

26. The new products
Step 4: The contour
The contour with its steeper
sidewalls is dimensionally more
stable and
provides greater resistance to
deformation caused by radial forces
minimises compression of the
sidewalls, even with heavier loads
counteracts premature material
fatigue
means greater load-carrying capacity
and improved retreadability.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

29. The new products in use
Werner Speer, Head of Acquisition
DFA Transport und Logistik GmbH, Ronneburg/Germany
“This tire was developed by
Continental exactly for our
mixed-application needs.
The new HTC1 385/65 R 22.5
convinced us with very good
handling combined with excellent
traction.”
Product story_HSC1

30. The new products in use
Giuseppe Mattina, Driver
Toscana Scavi S.r.l., Carrara/Italy
“While climbing the narrow and
stony roads, I really have to rely
on my tires. With their very good
traction and high durability the
new Continental Construction
tires turned out to be an
excellent choice for my needs.”
Product story_HSC1

31. The new products in use
Shane A. Schmidt, Fleet Manager
KR Drenth Trucking, Lynwood, Illinois, USA
“In one of our divisions out West
we had a lot of problems with
rock drilling caused by the tire
holding rocks.
We started buying Continental
products 8 months ago and
these problems have almost
completely went away.
I would highly recommend
Continental tires.“

Francisco Arques Salaet, Driver
KANARS S.L., Tarragona/Spain
“With 40 years of experience,
I know what makes a good
Construction tire. On top, the
new HSC1 from Continental
has precise handling and an
excellent on-road performance.”

Vit Curda, Head of Transport Department
Sokolovská Uhelná, Sokolov/Czech Republic
“Very convincing traction of
Continental’s HDC1 Construction
tire – a real challenge on last
year’s very muddy and slippery
terrain. Their high durability led
to reduced damage.”
Product story_HSC1

34. The new products in use
Curt Wiklund, Owner
Wiklunds Åkeri AB, Kalhäll/Sweden
“With competitor tires fitted,
we used to have up to 3–4
punctures a month. This
has improved significantly
with Continental’s very
durable HSC1/HDC1 tires. With
them, we save time
and money.”
Product story_HSC1

35. The new products in use
Keith Cates, Fleet Manager
Concrete Supply Co., Charlotte NC,USA
“Continental has provided us
with mileage, durability and tread
designs that suit our industry…to
give us the best tires for our
industry (ready mix concrete).”
Product story_HSC1

36. The new products in use
Lauren Jongetjes, Fleet Tire Manager
Superior Ready Mix, California, USA
“Almost every tire on our bottom-
dump trailer tires eventually has to
be scrapped. With Continental, this
has not been an issue.
Nobody else in the market had
anything that fits the description of
what we needed, which was a tire
that provides weight savings but
also fits our application.
All the way around, stones are less
of a problem with Continental. It’s
nice to see that they came out with
another tire that is a good fit for our
application.”
