Continental's US subsidiary General Tire has a new 445/65 R22.5 model tyre for the US construction vehicle market.  It says this new wide-base tyre is the first all-position tyre for the NAFTA region and that the new model is ideal on and off-road construction vehicles, difficult terrain and overloads.  The "Grabber OA" (Off Road, All Position) wide-base tyre is designed as a super-single tyre for steering and trailing axles.  The tyre carries around 5,800kg and its deep tread grooves and design improve traction on soft ground and muddy roadways, says Continental.
