The demand for truck winter tyres has risen following the harsh winters experienced in the UK and Ireland over the past two years and Continental has responded to the demand by adding five new tyre sizes in total to its Scandinavia 2 range of winter tyres for truck, bus and coach.
Commercial vehicle (CV) operators that want to stay on the safe side of inclement winter weather, should consider fitting winter tyres to their vehicles, according to Continental.
UK and Ireland-based operators travelling to or through Germany are now required to have M+S tyres fitted to drive axles during snowy and icy conditions following a revision to the existing law in the European country.
The results of an independent UK tyre test have revealed that high-mileage operators who choose a low rolling resistance tyre such as Continental’s Long Distance Eco-Plus stand to make significant savings in fuel costs.
