Continental SportContact 6 SSR 235/40R18 95Y XL

Continental SportContact 6 SSR. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Run flat tire model; Improved driving durability; . OVERVIEW: The Continental SportContact 6 SSR is a performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles.The ideal tread design and the special silica compound improve the tires performance in the summer season. The optimized tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the special silica compound protects the tire from heat build-up in warmer temperatures. This combination upgrades the tires performance in dry and wet-weather conditions. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively disperse water from the footprint and avoid hydroplaning.This model is run flat. The reinforced internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure even after air pressure loss. It can easily withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers when the air pressure leaves the tire. This limited, temporary performance enables the tire to arrive at a nearby location where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. As a result, this structure protects the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road, which increases driving safety.The asymmetric tread pattern and its close contact with the driving surface upgrade the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. This increases the tires steering response time and accuracy to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. On the other hand, the wide shoulder blocks boost the tires cornering and maneuvering. This combination allows the driver to have excellent control over the vehicle and enables a safe driving experience.The Continental SportContact 6 SSR offers great driving durability and handling power. The strengthened internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure and does not allow the tire to deform during the performance. Also, the special silica compound resists heat accumulation on the tread area. These elements enable the tire to perform at its best high speed capability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
