Continental Tire Inflation Guide (anybody have one?)

I am in the process of purchasing (6) new Continental tires for our rig.  The tires are Continental HSL2 275/80R22.5.

The vendor has told me that the only thing Continental Tire offers in the way of an inflation guide is a cold max air pressure of 115 lbs.
I told him that every other tire manufacturer that I've ever purchased tires from has a load inflation chart to go by, and he still stood by his statement.

I find it hard to believe that all the big rigs that run Continentals are doing so at the max cold air pressure.
Can anyone shed some light on this phenomena?

If you look here  Download Center  and download the 2015 Tire Data Guide for Commercial Vehicle Tires you should find the information you are looking for on page 47.

Can you say why you chose Continentals?  I am in that serious shopping mode right now.  Thanks

Roger,

I have run Goodyear G670's in the past with great results, but they are the most expensive RV tires.  I have also run
Michelins on a number of vehicles in the past but they are prone to sidewall cracking (dry-rot) in as little as two years.

So, I was looking for an alternative and I chose the Continental tires because I see a lot of semis running them, and they're
about $1300.00 less than Goodyears.  I also PM'd Michelle and she said that a reputable member on the forum (I forget his
name) swears by them..................may have been John Haygarth.

I chose the HSR2 tires at the top of the list.

Time will tell.

I am on year 4 with my Conti HSL2 315 80 22.5s. On my Magna they run very quietly. It is a very good tire for my coach and provides a nice ride and very precise control. They are designed as a "Coach" tire rather than a truck tire.

Today I went and had my new Continental tires put on.  Part of the deal was the balancing beads (1 pack per tire) and I have to say
they're great.  Went for a 25 mile test drive right after installation and the tires rode smooth as silk.

I bought them here; world of tires and couldn't be happier with the whole deal.  The online price included everything.
