Continental’s General Grabber OA 2 and OA 2 Wide Base (WB) tires for regional on-/off-road all-position use are second-generation tires with a new tread compound to improve mileage, chip and chunk resistance, and protect the casing to allow for multiple retreads.
They are designed for the construction, material transport, cement, utility, emergency vehicles, heavy haul and special loads, and mining/quarry. Continental will be phasing out the General Grabber OA and OA WB tire. The OA 2 on-/off-road all-position tire features 22/32-inch and 24/32-inch tread depth and a sidewall profile with curb rib to reduce damage from curbing, cuts, and abrasions. The patented groove technology leads to minimum stone retention through a stone ejection system and extends casing life, the company says. The tire casing is constructed with 4 belts and a closed-shoulder four rib tread design allowing versatility in all wheel positions. Drivers should see up to 19 percent mileage improvement and up to 5 percent chip and chunk resistance with the new General Grabber OA 2 when compared with its predecessor.
