OVERVIEW
The Continental ContiProContact SSR is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Continental offers an 80,000 mile treadwear warranty with the S and T speed rated sizes, a 60,000 mile warranty with the H speed rated sizes of this model. This offer is for new tires.
This tire is the run flat version of the ContiProContact tire and it was manufactured using the Self Supporting Runflat (SSR) Technology, which allows the tire temporary restricted mobility. After the loss of air pressure, the tire supports the weight of the vehicle and the passengers for 50 miles and up to 50 mph, thanks to the special reinforced run flat tires. In the case of air pressure loss the driver can safely arrive at a destination to repair or change the tire. This means the driver will not be stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. Since run flat tires are heavier, they should not be mixed with regular radial tires.
The tire is an all season model, which means that it has excellent all weather traction. The tread pattern and the tire compound used in its manufacture grip the road firmly in all weather conditions. The PROactive Edge technology provides additional biting edges, further enhancing its dry, wet and winter traction. The lateral and circumferential grooves in the tread pattern help eliminate water from under the footprint. This makes the tire hydroplaning resistant and makes the driving experience safer even in deeper water.
The ContiProContact SSR's larger footprint offers additional driving stability even at higher speeds, which improves the driving safety and performance. The larger footprint along with the optimized shoulder lug stability boosts the steering responsiveness and precision of the tire model. The driver can react quicker to the differing road conditions and situations. The superb stability and steering accuracy promote a better high speed performance.
