What tyres are suitable for urban driving?
Designed specifically for the challenges of city streets — frequent stops, varying road conditions, and heavy traffic — the Conti Urban HA 5 tyre from Continental promises significant improvements in tyre longevity, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort.
One of the standout features of the Conti Urban HA 5 is its enhanced tread cap and base compound, optimised for urban environments. This results in higher mileage and fewer tyre replacements, lowering overall costs for fleet operators while reducing CO2 emissions. By extending tyre life, operators can enjoy substantial savings, both economically and environmentally.
Fuel efficiency is increased by the tyre’s improved rolling resistance, which reduces the energy needed to move vehicles. This translates into lower fuel consumption for traditional buses and extended battery life for electric fleets – a crucial advantage as urban transport increasingly shifts towards electrification.
The advanced tread pattern not only boosts fuel efficiency but also maintains excellent wet performance, while Continental’s multi-pitch technology earning it an A-rating for noise on the EU tyre label.
For fleet managers looking to optimise performance, the Conti Urban HA 5 can be equipped with ContiConnect sensors. This optional feature offers real-time digital monitoring of tyre pressure and temperature, allowing for predictive maintenance and preventing costly, unexpected downtimes.
Fully compliant with the latest EU regulations on sustainability and environmental impact, the Conti Urban HA 5 is available in 275/70 R 22.5. The following sizes will be launched later: 245/70 R 19.5, 265/70 R 19.5, 315/60 R 22.5.
