The SSR's (Run Flat Tyre) reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight. [Unlike conventional tires, the SSR principle is based on a reinforced self-supporting sidewall. This prevents the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well in the event of a loss of inflation.
With SSR tires you remain mobile in the event of a flat tire. You can reach your destination or tire service facility without the bother of having to replace a flat tire with the spare tire. • Compatible with standard rims • Simple mounting • Saves room and weight, and thus fuel, giving you as much as 3 cubic feet more cargo area
Unlimited driving fun thanks to excellent grip. The new ContiSportContact 5 - Control never has been sportier. With the launch of the ContiSportContact 5, Continental has developed a tyre which is equally suitable for sporty cars & SUVs with sporty driving characteristics. With this new development, the tyre engineers have made significant progress in camparison to the popular predecessor ContiSportContact 3:
• Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions.
• Excellent road grip and safety when cornering.
• Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage.
This was made possible due to a new compound which focuses on maximum power transmission and provides low rolling resistance whilst driving normally. This rubber compound which carries the name "BlackChilli" uses the various vibrations of the tyre.
The ContiSportContact 5 is available in a range of sizes from 17 inch upwards for cars and 18 inch upwards for SUV.
Features & Benefits:
• Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions.
• Excellent road grip and safety when cornering.
• Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage.
• Unlimited driving fun thanks to excellent grip.
• Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions.
• When braking, the tire has a high natural frequency within the compound. Short-chain polymers in the Black Chilli compound of the ContiSportContact™ 5 react to this braking frequency and thus provide optimal energy absorption. The resulting heat shortens the braking distance on wet and dry roads.
• Excellent road grip and safety when cornering.
• The Macro-block design of the tire’s outside shoulder provides a larger contact area, which can therefore adapt optimally to the road surface. The ContiSportContact™ 5 offers improved road grip and thus more safety when cornering.
• Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage.
• At a constant speed, the vibrations in the compound are significantly lower. The longchain polymers within the compound can release the absorbed energy better, resulting in considerably reduced rolling resistance. Thus, the tire runs more easily and remains cool – for a higher mileage and reduced fuel consumption.
