Continental PremiumContact 6 SSR 225/55R17, Summer, High Performance tires

Features and Benefits: High speed performance; Summer weather tire; Run flat tire model; Improved handling; Continental PremiumContact 6 SSR TiresThe Continental PremiumContact 6 SSR is a performance and high, performance summer tire made for SUVs and passenger vehicles. The tire utilizes a reinforced sidewall construction that supports the tire in case of an air pressure loss. It prevents the model from completely losing its shape, promoting a limited performance of 50 mph for 50 miles. This prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road, allowing the driver to take it to the nearest location and safely change the tire. Run flat models should not be mounted on the same vehicle together with the regular ones, as their construction is different and could possibly cause driving instability. The detailed asymmetric tread firmly grips the driving surface, maintaining a consistent contact with the driving surface. These tread elements optimize the surface contact, allowing the tire to respond faster and more precisely to the driver's instructions. It greatly improves the maneuvering ability and enables the driver to control the vehicle with confidence all the time. This promotes a better and safer driving experience all the time. The detailed tread elements provide a high number of biting edges, which significantly increase the maneuvering power at high speeds. These tread elements, with the ideal groove placement and notch design, are able to firmly grip the road surface while performing at high speeds. It boosts the cornering and braking ability, upgrading the driver's control over the vehicle. The compound is able to avoid heat build-up across the tread area, allowing the tire to stay in its optimal shape and stabilize the footprint. The Continental PremiumContact 6 SSR performs remarkably well in summer weather conditions. The compound optimizes rubber flexibility in high temperature conditions, while asymmetric tread improves the traction on dry and wet surfaces, while the circumferential grooves eject water from the footprint and maximize the surface contact. This prevents the vehicle from hydroplaning and guarantees a safer performance in summer conditions. 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.
