Continental ContiSportContact 3 SSR 245/45R18, Summer, High Performance ti

Features and Benefits: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; Run flat tire model; Continental ContiSportContact 3 SSR TiresThe Continental ContiSportContact 3 SSR is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire enhances the all weather traction by combining the summer compound and the ideal tread design. The summer compound with the durable, heat-resistant rubber elements optimize the tire's high-heat performing ability. The tread design, on the other hand, ensures the grip on the road surface with the better rubber-to-road ratio. The tread's groove placement prevents hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the footprint. This further improves the wet weather driving safety and performing capability. This model is a run flat tire. That means that it was manufactured with Continental's Self-Supporting Run-flat technology, which enables its temporary limited performance in case of air pressure loss. In other words, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph once air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or other damage. This prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. The result is the tire's exceptional driving safety levels. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires, due to the difference in their weight. The asymmetric tread design's closer surface contact boosts the controllability. The better road contact of the optimized footprint enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire increases the steering response time and accuracy with the tread's custom raised bands, while the better traction enables the tire to securely boosts the overall structural stability. The optimized tread elements allow the model to stop shorter than its predecessor. These elements generate friction between the tire and the road surface in order to shorten the braking distance with the stronger braking power. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle throughout its performance. The Continental ContiSportContact 3 SSR increases the high speed durability. The heat-resistant compound, the low rolling resistance and the optimized surface contact enable the tire to safely perform at high speeds. This combination enables the tire to improve the high speed durability, the driving pressure is eased off the tire during its performance. This results in the tire's exceptional high speed performing safety. This tire model was manufac
