3PMSF
For excellent grip and mileage:
- Wide and open shoulder ribs for optimal directional stability
- Rib pattern with high number of lateral grooves and sipes
- Compound for optimal grip
- Two-phase tread design: After the winter tread has worn down, a trailer tyre with fewer sipes and excellent fuel efficiency remains

Technical details
Grip | Traction | Safety
- Deeper and higher density of lateral grooves and sipes for better grip over lifetime (compared with predecessor)
- Adjusted number and distribution of grip edges and open shoulders for good grip and high durability
- Optimised tread compound
Mileage
- Increased tread volume (compared with predecessor)
- Shoulder block tie-bars for more durable tread
- Two-phase tread for all-season use at HSW 2 SCANDINAVIA and HTW 2 SCANDINAVIA
Retreadability
- Steel cord chafer and air-keep inner liner for sustainable casing value
- Triangular belt designed for excellent traction in winter conditions
- Premium Goods casing with C2 guarantee
Fuel efficiency
- Increased tyre pattern rigidity reducing deformations and thus lowering rolling resistance
- Less energy loss due to optimised footprint
- Well balanced belt-to-tread width ratio to improve deflection on the tread area for better rolling resistance
- Air-Keep inner liner to maintain proper inflation pressure
EU Tyre Label
1. Wet grip
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tyre will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
2. Fuel efficiency
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tyres deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing all the way down to class E.
3. Noise level
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A down to C.
Additional pictograms for snow and icy conditions
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tyres only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tyres.
