Continental Expands Commercial Light Truck Tire Lineup

June 21, 2021

Continental Tire the Americas LLC has expanded its commercial light truck tire portfolio with a new size for the 16-inch Conti LAR 3 all-position tire.

The tire is now available in four sizes: LT215/85R16, LT225/75R16, LT235/85R16 and LT245/75R16.

Continental says the Conti LAR 3 "performs admirably in high-scrub conditions faced by regional delivery drivers" and is designed "to withstand the rigors of regional routes and speeds of more than 90 miles per hour under max load."

The tire's all-steel casing is "optimized for retreadability, helping fleets discover their lowest overall driving cost."

The 10-ply Conti LAR 3 also features cut- and chip-resistant tread compounds, increased load carrying capacity and other qualities.
