Continental ProContact RX SSR 225/45R18, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Run flat tire model; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; High driving comfort levels; All weather traction; Continental ProContact RX SSR TiresThe Continental ProContact RX SSR is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles. The tire was manufactured with Continental's Self-Supporting Run-flat technology. This allows the tire to securely perform for 50 miles up to 50 mph in case of air pressure loss. The stronger construction enables the tire to maintain its ideal tire shape under the weight of the vehicle and its passengers. In this manner, the tire can be driven to a nearby location in case of air pressure loss, where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle due to their heavier internal structure. The all season silica compound and the ideal tread pattern upgrade the all weather traction. The compound elements and the optimal tread design increase the dry, wet and winter traction, guaranteeing a safer performing capability. The tread's elements upgrade the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the compound optimizes its rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, further enhancing the driving safety levels all year round. The special silica-based tire compound and the optimized tread design increase the traction and keep the tire cool during its performance. As the tire prevents heat build-up along the tread area, it allows the tire to upgrade the fuel efficiency. This combination greatly lowers the rolling resistance while the tires are in motion, which significantly reduces the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emission levels. In this manner, the tire manages to ensure a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience. The strengthened tread pattern upgrades the controllability as well. The tread design maintains the road contact at all times, which boosts the overall steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire manages to lengthen the usability and the tread life. On the other hand, the model's optimized block placement increases the braking power. The additional biting edges provided by the tread design enable the tire to improve the braking ability by significantly shortening the braking distance. As a result, the tire enhances the driver's control over the vehicle. The Continental ProContact RX SSR
