The best performing tyre for reliability and longevity was Continental's HSC (Heavy Services Construction Tyre) which returned an average of 105,000 and 120,000 miles on front and rear axles respectively; the runner-up returned just 90,000 miles.

Ennstone Breedon runs a fleet of 30 trucks, all fitted with Continental's latest HSC tyres.
