Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR

Enjoy summer’s sweet drives with Continental’s Sport Contact 5 SSR performance summer tire. This tire delivers a trifecta of awesome features including: thrilling performance, fuel economy and reasonable treadwear. Its features include:

• The Sport Contact 5 SSR is a summer performance tire designed for glue-like grip, rapid steering response and powerful braking for your performance drive.

• This summer performance tire is suitable for sporty cars and SUVs that need high powered cornering ability in the wet or dry summer conditions. 

• As a run-flat tire, the Sport Contact 5 SSR’s reinforced sidewall allows the car to continue on a flat with a maximum speed of 50mph for up to 50 miles.

• This tire is engineered for shorter braking distances and strong cornering, all while reducing fuel consumption and boosting treadwear. 

• To resist hydroplaning and boost wet weather traction, this tire uses four circumferential grooves that channel water away from the contact patch.

• Rapid steering response and straight line tracking are due to the continuous center rib and notched intermediate ribs.

• Braking distance is reduced by the Black Chilli compound, which reacts to braking forces and utilizes built up heat to stop on wet and dry roads.

• Long-chain polymers release this pent up heat to reduce rolling resistance, making it a swift, but cool headed tire.

• For strong road grip and cornering stability, the tire has an asymmetric tread design with a macro-block outboard shoulder that adapts to road surfaces. 

• For high speed stability and sporty handling, the SSR features steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide, boosting ride quality and handling. 

• To fit a wide variety of vehicles, this tire comes in 17’’-20” rim diameters.

• As a summer tire, the 5 SSR shouldn’t be driven in winter weather, including sub-45 degree temps, or on ice and snow.
