Independent tyre tests have shown that Continental tyres can save between 80 to 100kg when used all round on a typical 8×4 tipper.
The test work, was carried out by Entyrety, the independent UK fleet tyre service firm on behalf of Continental (http://www.entyrety.co.uk/generator/www/uk/en/entyrety/entyrety/themes/fleet_ services /fleet_tyre_audit.html).
The organisation says its “sole objective” is to identify high costs from poor tyre management, and it said it found ”without exception Continental’s tyres proved to be either of equal or less weight than its competitors across the entire range.”
The tests showed between 8 and 10kg a tyre weight saving on construction applications and between 5 and 9kg a tyre across distribution and long haul applications.
