Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR is a performance summer tire that offers impressive features. It provides excellent grip, responsive steering, and powerful braking for an exhilarating driving experience. This tire is suitable for sporty cars and SUVs that require superior cornering ability in both wet and dry summer conditions. One of the standout features of the Sport Contact 5 SSR is its run-flat capabilities. With a reinforced sidewall, it allows the vehicle to keep going even with a flat tire. It can maintain a maximum speed of 50mph for up to 50 miles. The tire is designed to deliver shorter braking distances and strong cornering performance. It also contributes to fuel efficiency and longer tread life. An important feature of this tire is its ability to resist hydroplaning. The four circumferential grooves effectively channel water away from the contact patch, ensuring enhanced wet weather traction. Rapid steering response and straight line tracking are achieved through the continuous center rib and notched intermediate ribs. The Black Chilli compound used in the tire reacts to braking forces, reducing braking distance on both wet and dry roads. Furthermore, long-chain polymers release heat to decrease rolling resistance, making it a swift and cool-headed tire. To enhance road grip and cornering stability, the Sport Contact 5 SSR has an asymmetric tread design with a macro-block outboard shoulder that adapts to different road surfaces. It features steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide, providing high-speed stability and sporty handling. Please note that the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR is a summer tire and should not be driven in winter weather conditions or on icy and snowy roads.
