OVERVIEW
The Continental ContiPremiumContact SSR (*) is a performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles.
The controllability and maneuvering are improved with better road contact. The tire manages to maintain road contact at all times, which improves its exceptional steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model promotes quick and precise steering responses, while its structure is secured against driving pressure. Maneuvering is also optimized with the ideal tread elements. As a result, cornering and braking are enhanced. The ideal tread elements improve the driver’s control over the vehicle.
The strengthened internal structure offers a safe performance. The particular construction enables the tire to be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph after air pressure leaves it. As a result, the tire promotes a safe temporary performance, preventing the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. The run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires, due to their heavier internal structure.
High speed durability is ensured with this tire. The high speed durability is ensured, by combating pressure accumulation. The heat-resistant compound and the optimal tread design significantly reduce the possibility of heat build-up. This greatly eases the pressure off the tire during its performance, making sure the structure does not deform under high speed pressure. Their combination helps to greatly increase the tire’s overall driving safety.
Summer traction is optimized with the tread design and the heat-resistant compound. The ideal tread design and the summer compound improve dry and wet grip. In this manner, the ideal tread design closely follows the road in the summer season, while the compound prevents heat build-up in warm temperatures. On the other hand, large circumference grooves eliminate water from the footprint and prevent hydroplaning.
The Continental ContiPremiumContact SSR (*) ensures high driving comfort levels. The optimized tread elements manage to decrease road noise levels. The tread pattern negates the sound waves created during the performance. This prevents road disturbances from ruining the passengers’ driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a quiet performance.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
