Key Technical Specifications and Features: Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR FR 225/45 R17 91W

• Size: 225/45 R17
• Load and Speed Rating: 91W (Maximum load capacity of 615 kg / 1,356 lbs and a maximum speed of 270 km/h or 168 mph)
• Technology: SSR (Self-Supporting Runflat): The reinforced sidewall allows the vehicle to continue driving for up to 80 km (50 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) after a puncture, eliminating the need for an immediate roadside tire change. This also frees up trunk space by making a spare tire obsolete.

• Performance Profile: A summer ultra-high-performance tire designed for superior handling, grip, and braking responsiveness.
• Tread Design: Asymmetric tread pattern with macro-blocks on the outer shoulder for enhanced grip and stability when cornering. Four circumferential grooves are designed to resist hydroplaning in wet conditions.

What sets this tire apart is its advanced technology. The SSR (Self-Supporting Runflat) system is a revolutionary run-flat technology with a reinforced sidewall. In the event of a puncture, this reinforcement prevents the sidewall from being crushed, allowing you to continue driving safely for up to 80 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h. This not only eliminates the need for an immediate roadside tire change but also means you can drive without a heavy spare tire, reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency.

Additionally, the FR (Flange Rim) feature provides robust rim protection, safeguarding your alloy wheels from damage caused by curbs and road hazards. The asymmetric tread pattern with four circumferential grooves ensures excellent water dispersal, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and providing maximum grip when cornering. The tire’s design also contributes to a quieter, more comfortable ride, making it an ideal choice for drivers of premium and sporty sedans and coupes who demand uncompromising performance and peace of mind.
