Tyre manufacturer, Continental Tires held an exclusive Track Day in Chennai that showcased their latest developments in tire engineering, safety, and performance. The event allowed participants to try out its newly launched Cross Contact H/T, and see its Intelligent Tyres for trucks and buses in action instead of a mere demonstration of its product range.

Crafted with precision at the Modipuram plant, the CrossContact H/T (H/T = Highway/Terrain) was launched in India in 2023 and the tire is developed with a particularly robust and durable design, tailored to the market’s needs of driving on and off-road (80 per cent on and 20 per cent off-road). This tire comes with a special verification indicator. The multi-purpose tread offers significantly high mileage, comfort, and safety.

Its versatile range caters to various rim sizes from 15 inches to 18 inches in diameter ensuring the perfect fit for all passenger vehicles in the SUV segment. 

Samir Gupta, Managing Director, Continental Tires India, and Head of Central Region BA RE APAC, said "The response for our products has been great, and is in line with our expansion strategy for India."

The new CrossContact H/T is designed with a multi-purpose tread pattern to handle the daily challenges of a passenger car, crossover, and SUV tire just as well as a product developed for use on asphalt. Some of its features include - grip teeth, strong tire shoulders, a special tread that ensures low rolling noise, and a special verification indicator.

Continental also showcased its new range of Intelligent Tyres - a part of Conti360 Digital Solutions. These Digital Solutions are an end-to-end completely automated offering with sensors that enable 24x7 monitoring of tyres on the road where customers can monitor tyre of the fleet remotely and in real-time to avoid any type of downtime. The data helps improve tyre status visibility, in turn increasing vehicle road safety and reducing tyre-related maintenance costs. Continental’s I-tyres are equipped with sensors and are designed for tubeless tyres to enhance safety on Indian roads.
