Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR ( 225/45 R17 91W MOE, runflat )

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR is designed for high-performance and luxury vehicles, offering exceptional handling and control. With its excellent road grip and safety features, this tyre is perfect for sporty cars and SUVs with sporty driving characteristics.

Thanks to a new compound called "BlackChilli", which focuses on maximum power transmission and low rolling resistance, the ContiSportContact 5 provides outstanding performance. The Black Chilli Technology utilises the various vibrations of the tyre, resulting in excellent road grip and handling, as well as safety when cornering.

The macro-block design of the tyre's outside shoulder provides a larger contact area, adapting optimally to the road surface and offering improved road grip and safety when cornering. The ContiSportContact 5 also features shorter braking distances in all weather conditions, thanks to its high natural frequency within the compound. When braking, the tyre has a high natural frequency, which reacts to the braking frequency and provides optimal energy absorption.

The Black Chilli compound's short-chain polymers react to this braking frequency, resulting in shorter stopping distances on both wet and dry roads. Additionally, the long-chain polymers within the compound release the absorbed energy better, resulting in considerably reduced rolling resistance and thus a higher mileage and reduced fuel consumption.

As a result of the ContiSportContact 5's excellent road grip and handling, it has been highly recommended by Auto Bild in their summer tyre test 2014. Highlights include safety, shorter stopping distance, performance, excellent handling, high mileage potential, environment, and fuel efficiency.

The SSR runflat tyres offer crucial advantages, allowing you to continue driving at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles) in the event of a loss of inflation. The reinforced self-supporting sidewall prevents the inside of the tyre from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well.

The Continental SSR system is supplied together with an inflation warning system, either TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) or DDS (Deflation Detection System), which alert the driver when a drop in inflation pressure requires investigation via a display on the instrument panel. This ensures both safety and performance during normal driving.

With its simple mounting, compatibility with standard rims, and space-saving design, the Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR is an excellent choice for high-performance and luxury vehicles.
