Maximize Safety and Lower Maintenance Costs
Operating within cities and high trafficc environments, Urban tires must be able to handle a great variety of external factors. High scrub, short runs, tight turns, and heat build up from stop-and-go traffic are just some of the everyday experiences for these tires. Buses and coaches can average around 30,000 lbs. when loaded, therefore, must be durable and and resistant to abrasive surfaces. Continental's Urban tires are well-equipped to handle all the challenges posed by city traffic routes and mileage requirements.
Since Urban tires are generally used for the transporation of people, the main requirements for these tires are safety and comfort. While mileage and fuel efficiency are important, it is important to fleet owners that the tires within this segment provide a smooth, quiet ride especially over long distances. Coach buses, Recreational Vehicles (RV’s), and Urban City Buses fall within this segment.
