Description
The Continental ContiPremiumContact 6 SSR(*) Runflat Ai is a premium summer tyre offering a combination of comfort, fuel efficiency, and sportier driving performance through its Safety Silica Compounds and asymmetric tread design. The “SSR” in its name indicates Self-Supporting Runflat technology, allowing for temporary, safe driving after a puncture without a spare tyre by using a reinforced sidewall. Key features include superior wet braking, improved mileage, high control and cornering stability, reduced interior noise, and the ability to create more boot space by eliminating the need for a spare.
Key Features & Benefits
- Runflat Technology (SSR):The self-supporting reinforced sidewall prevents the tyre from collapsing and slipping off the rim after a puncture, allowing you to drive for a limited distance.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency:By eliminating the need for a spare tyre and its associated weight, fuel efficiency is enhanced.
- Increased Boot Space:The absence of a spare tyre frees up significant boot space in the vehicle.
- Enhanced Wet & Dry Grip:The Safety Silica Compounds and unique polymer blend provide excellent braking performance, particularly in wet conditions, while the asymmetric pattern delivers outstanding grip and handling.
- Driving Comfort:A smooth, stiff pattern design and advanced macro-block design improve comfort by lowering interior noise and providing a stable ride.
- Superior Control:The complex shoulder block structure allows for maximum lateral force transmission, ensuring excellent control and cornering stability.
Technologies Used
- Safety Silica Compounds: A crystal silica composition in the cap and base compounds enables superior braking performance and enhances mileage.
- Asymmetric Tread Design: An asymmetric pattern with an advanced macro-block design provides optimal grip, wet braking, and cornering stability.
- Self-Supporting Runflat (SSR): A reinforced sidewall that supports the vehicle’s weight after a puncture.
