We are pleased to announce an expansion to the range of available sizes for its our increasingly popular fifth-generation BD5 drive tyre. Launched at the inaugural 2022 Road Transport Expo show, replacing the BD08 in the Fleetmaster range, the BD5 is now also available in a 315/80R22.5 size.
Following its debut, the BD5 quickly became a popular product among customers. Engineered with long-haul operators in mind, the BD5 combines the latest in innovation and design. The result is a dependable, high-performing retread tyre that boasts outstanding sustainability credentials.
The BD5 commands greater driving dynamics than its predecessor, thanks in part to a completely redesigned directional tread pattern. Through extensive testing and refinement during the development process, we have been able to achieve superior wet and dry handling, higher levels of real-world grip and exceptional water dispersion and stone ejection. Every BD5 is certified 3PMSF.
Tony Mailling, Head of Hot Retread Production EMEA and ContiLifeCycle Plant Manager, said: “It has always been our intention to grow the range of fitments available for the BD5 tyre, but such has been the demand for the tyre, it has quickly become one of our best sellers in just a single fitment. We believe that BD5 is a great demonstration of our skills and expertise, with our in-house team responsible for the entire development process. These abilities are critically important, as we continue to see growing interest in our retread tyre ranges. Our retread tyres offer operators a cost effective, sustainable solution for their fleet.”
