What Happened
Continental is expanding its Conti Scandinavia winter tire portfolio with a new 315/60 R 22.5 steering axle tire. Developed for demanding winter road conditions, the range is designed to deliver reliable traction on snow, ice and wet roads while maintaining high mileage and efficient rolling performance. The family includes solutions for different axle positions and is aimed at regional and long-haul transport applications. To support long-term tire management, the portfolio is complemented by Continental's retread solutions.
315/60 R 22.5
Steering axle tire added to the Conti Scandinavia winter range for commercial vehicles.
- Optimized tread patterns and winter compounds for traction and handling on snow-covered, icy and wet roads
- Two-layer sipe technology designed to support traction, driving stability and handling throughout the tire's service life
- Tread compounds that remain flexible at low temperatures without compromising operational performance
- Low noise levels and year-round applicability
- Retread solutions that help extend casing utilization
“Winter tires must deliver reliable traction and handling in challenging road conditions without compromising mileage and operational efficiency. The Conti Scandinavia portfolio has been developed to meet exactly these requirements, while the new 315/60 R 22.5 steering axle tire further expands the range for our customers.”
With the introduction of the new 315/60 R 22.5 steering axle tire, Continental is further strengthening its winter offering for commercial vehicles. The additional dimension expands the application range of the Conti Scandinavia portfolio. It also provides customers with greater flexibility when selecting tire configurations for specific operational requirements.
In addition to new tires, Continental offers retread solutions that help extend casing utilization as part of a comprehensive tire management approach. By combining premium new tires with retreading, fleet operators can maximize the use of tire assets over a longer period while maintaining the performance requirements of commercial transport operations. Further information on Continental's winter tire portfolio is available in the Winter Brochure.
Previously from Continental
Continental's winter tire lines have also shown up recently as recommended options on new passenger vehicles: its winter and all-season tires were recommended for the new Audi Q3, for which the EcoContact 6 Q is the approved summer tire, and for the all-electric Volkswagen ID. Polo, which uses the EcoContact 7 as standard equipment.

Why this matters
Fleet operators running regional and long-haul transport in cold climates depend on winter tires for grip on snow, ice and wet roads, and on mileage and rolling efficiency for running costs. A broader size range gives them more flexibility when choosing tire configurations, and Continental's retread offering lets them use tire casings longer instead of replacing them each cycle.
Terms in This Story
- retread
- A used tire casing that is given a new tread so it can be put back into service, extending the tire's total life.
- sipe
- Small, thin grooves cut into a tire's tread blocks that help the rubber grip the road surface.
- steering axle
- The axle that turns a vehicle's front wheels; tires fitted here have different demands from those on drive or trailer axles.
- rolling efficiency
- How much energy a tire uses as it rolls along the road; better rolling efficiency means less energy wasted while driving.
