The SSR's (Run Flat Tyre) reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight. Unlike conventional tires, the SSR principle is based on a reinforced self-supporting sidewall. This prevents the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well in the event of a loss of inflation. The SSR's reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight.
With SSR tires you remain mobile in the event of a flat tire. You can reach your destination or tire service facility without the bother of having to replace a flat tire with the spare tire. Compatible with standard rims Simple mounting Saves room and weight, and thus fuel, giving you as much as 3 cubic feet more cargo area
To realize all of this, Continental's development engineers imbued the ContiPremiumContactTM 5 with a host of improvements.
The optimized 3D edges are what make for shorter braking distances than in the case of the predecessor model. Adapted from the ContiSportContactTM 5, the macro-blocks guarantee safe handling and better transmission of cornering forces. A new carcass adapted this time from the ContiEcoContactTM 5 enhances comfort and reduces the ContiPremiumContactTM 5's rolling resistance.
Highlights:
Short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces.
Perfect grip and optimal handling in every driving situation.
Comfortable driving and improved rolling resistance.
Also unbeatable in temperature curves.
Short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces.
Features & Benefits:
Newly developed 3-D edges prevent the tread blocks from curling and deforming while braking, providing even pressure distribution. Additionally, block edges penetrate the water film on the road in wet conditions, similar to a windscreen wiper. This results in even shorter stopping distances on dry and wet surfaces in particular.
Perfect grip and optimal handling in every driving situation.
Computer-optimised macro blocks maximise the contact area of the tyre when strong lateral forces are present and when braking or changing lanes at high speed. In addition, they provide considerably improved tread stability for perfect handling and outstanding grip, even in extreme driving situations.
Comfortable driving and improved rolling resistance.
The combination of a flexibly designed tyre shoulder and reinforced bead area ensures optimum flexibility with increased stability of the side wall. This results in noticeably more comfortable driving with perfect handling and improved rolling resistance.
