Continental ContiCrossContact LX Sport SSR All-Season Radial Tire - 235/55

Features and Benefits: Run flat tire model; All weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; High driving comfort levels; Enhanced controllability; Continental CrossContact LX Sport SSR TiresThe Continental CrossContact LX Sport SSR is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is a run flat tire. It was manufactur... moreed with Continental's Self-Supporting Run-flat technology which reinforces the tire's structure. This allows the tire to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers after air pressure loss, providing a limited and temporary performance. In other words, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. Ensuring the tire's safer performing capability, this allows the tire to safely arrive at a nearby location, where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle. The all season compound and the ideal tread design increase the all weather performance. These elements work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The silica-infused compound maintains the overall rubber flexibility to optimize the tire's performing capability in versatile temperatures. On the other hand, the tread design with the siping and notch placement boost the grip with extra biting edges in different weather conditions. The tread's narrow circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, significantly improving the wet weather traction and avoiding hydroplaning in the process. The silica compound and the tread design's stronger traction eases the pressure off the tire during its performance. As a result, the tire greatly lowers its overall rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure which regulates the vehicle's fuel intake levels needed to keep the tires in motion. The durable traction lessens the rolling resistance, which in turn decreases the vehicle's fuel usage and CO2 emission levels. In this manner, the tire guarantees a fuel efficient and environmentally conscious driving experience. The enhanced traction and the tread design's constant surface contact boost the controllability. The continuous center ribs maintain the road contact at all times, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, they enable the model's quicker and more precise response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. This enhances the driver's full c
