Continental SportContact 6 SSR 235/40R18, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer performance; Improved controllability; Run flat tire model; High speed performance; Continental SportContact 6 SSR TiresThe Continental SportContact 6 SSR is a performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Great summer traction is promoted with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern and its close contact with the driving surface enhance the tires grip on dry and wet surfaces. The ideal tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, while the summer compound prevents heat build-up in hot temperatures. On the other hand, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water from the footprint in wet-weather conditions. They resist hydroplaning and enable the tires safe performance even on wet surfaces. The model upgrades its controllability. The asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road and improves the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. At the same time, the optimized tread elements firmly grip the road with extra biting edges. It increases the tires contact with the driving surface and upgrades the tires steering response time and accuracy to the drivers instructions. The structure is secured against driving pressure. Cornering and maneuvering are upgraded as well. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle. This tires reinforced internal structure increases its driving safety. The strong structure maintains the ideal tire shape under pressure in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure loss occurs, due to a puncture, the reinforced structure enables the tire to be driven for 50 miles up to 50 mph. This limited, temporary performance prevents the tire from being stranded on the side of the road. Instead, it can be driven to a nearby location where the tire can be fixed. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires. The Continental SportContact 6 SSR offers excellent high speed performance. The strengthened internal structure and the special silica compound work together to increase the tires driving durability. In this manner, the strengthened internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under driving pressure, while the silica compound prevents pressure accumulation along the tread area in warmer temperatures. 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.
