Description

• 315/80R22.5: This indicates the tire size. Here’s a breakdown of the specifics:
  • 315: The width of the tire section in millimeters (mm).
  • 80: The aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (80% in this case).
  • R: Indicates a radial tire construction.
  • 22.5: The rim diameter in inches.
• 156/150L: This represents the load rating and speed rating of the tire. The load rating indicates the maximum weight that the tire can carry at a specific inflation pressure. In this case, 156/150 refers to the load capacity at different speeds:
  • 156: Up to 75 mph (120 km/h) The speed rating L means the tire is designed for speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
• TL: Means the tire is tubeless, relying on an airtight seal between the tire and the rim to hold air, instead of an inner tube.
• M+S: This indicates that the tire is an all-season tire that can be used in moderate snow conditions. The M+S symbol does not mean that the tire is a true winter tire, and it may not perform well in severe snow conditions.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tire has been tested and certified to provide improved traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires that don’t have this symbol.

Features and Benefits (based on information found online):

• Durability and long tread life: The Continental Hybrid HD3 is designed for demanding applications and is said to offer outstanding mileage performance [1, 2, 3]. This can help to reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• Good all-season traction with improved winter performance: The M+S and 3PMSF markings on the tire signify its ability to handle various weather conditions, including light winter snow and ice. While it may not be ideal for severe snow conditions, it provides better performance than all-season tires without the 3PMSF designation.
• Fuel efficiency: The Continental Hybrid HD3 is also said to be fuel-efficient, due to a tread pattern design that reduces rolling resistance [2, 3]. This can help to reduce fuel costs for truck fleets.
• Wet performance: The Continental Hybrid HD3 is said to have a rating of B in wet grip [1]. This means it performs well on wet roads.

Overall, the 315/80R22.5 Continental Hybrid HD3 156/150L TL M+S 3PMSF appears to be a good choice for the drive axles of regional haul trucks. It offers durability, long tread life, good performance in all-weather conditions, fuel efficiency, and good wet performance.
