New Continental tyre for earthmoving industry

Continental is expanding its General Tire portfolio for the earthmoving industry with the General TE95 tyre. The tyre’s design is said to provide high traction for soil compaction work in road and construction applications and, like the entire product line, is equipped with V.ply technology.

With this expansion, the General Tire portfolio grows to a total of 18 tyre specifications for the earthmoving industry. The first General Tire earthmoving tyres were launched in early 2020 – the portfolio now includes a total of 14 sizes, which are used on wheel loaders and dozers as well as on dump trucks and scrapers.

Continental says the tyre contour of the General TE95 provides even pressure distribution on construction vehicles such as single-drum compactors. This keeps construction site soils smooth during compaction. However, sandy, muddy or stony soils can be a challenge for construction vehicles. That's why the General TE95’s geometric, robust tread blocks provide continuous traction performance in a variety of soil conditions. As with all General Tire EM tires, V.ply construction technology ensures strong sidewalls on the TE95, providing protection against punctures and cuts.
