Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR 315/35R20, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Fuel-efficient performance; High speed controllability; Run flat tire model; Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR TiresThe Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. The tire offers exceptional summer weather traction. It combines the Black Chili compound and asymmetric tread design in order to boost its dry and wet weather grip. Stronger compound elements effectively prevent heat build-up across the tread area, while the optimal surface contact firmly grips the road. Additionally, circumferential grooves disperse water from the footprint. This helps to avoid hydroplaning in wet conditions. This special Black Chili compound and consistent surface contact ease pressure off the footprint. In this manner, the tire also decreases rolling resistance, which is the pressure determining the energy usage necessary. Lessening the rolling resistance minimizes the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions, offering a special fuel-conscious driving experience. The model also combines the Black Chili compound and the asymmetric tread design in order to upgrade its controllability. This combination allows the tire to optimize its steering responsiveness and driving stability, enabling the driver's consistent control over the vehicle. The shoulder block placement offers exceptional cornering ability, while the Black Chili reduces its braking distance. The compound and stronger structure enable the tire's exceptional high speed durability. This allows the tire to safely increases its overall performance. The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR is designed with a run flat technology. The Self-Supporting Run Flat technology enables the tire's limited, temporary performance. In other words, the tire can be driven for 50 miles at 50 mph, which manages to upgrade the driving safety. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles. 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.
