Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.
Features and Benefits:
The Continental ContiSportContact 5P SSR is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire upgrades the summer weather performing safety. The durable Black Chili summer compound and the ideal tread design placement increase the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface. The compound is strengthened against heat build-up in summer weather conditions, while the tread design's better surface contact upgrades the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The tread's optimized groove pattern allows the tire to disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process.
The optimized footprint of the tire enables the model to maintain the road surface contact throughout its performance. As a result, the tire significantly upgrades the high speed controllability and the braking power. This enables the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while it also secures the structural stability. The tire's Black Chili compound and the ideal tread pattern manage to shorten the braking distance by creating friction between the tire and the road surface. The tread design's side and center pattern allow the tire to increase the cornering capability. These elements create friction between the tire and the road surface to ensure a safer maneuvering power.
The tire was made with the special Self-Supporting Run-flat technology. This technology enables the tire to be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph, in case of air pressure loss. When air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or some other damage, the vehicle will not be stranded on the side of the road. Instead, it can be driven to a nearby location, where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. Due to their heavier construction, run flat tires cannot be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle.
The Continental ContiSportContact 5P SSR guarantees a fuel efficient performance. The rolling resistance is reduced with the stronger traction of the tread design and the Black Chili compound, as they enhance the traction. This enhancement decreases the rolling resistance as it eases the pressure off the tire with the stronger traction. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire, which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake levels. This results in the model's fuel conscious drive, as it greatly lowers the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. In this manner, the tire ensures an environmentally friendly driving experience.
This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please note this is Original Equipment (O.E.) tire size only. The O.E. size is determined by the year, make, model and options of the vehicle. Original Equipment size data is the best information we currently have available to us. TireMart.com is not responsible for fitment errors. The most important aspect of purchasing a tire is its size, which cannot vary. It is buyer's responsibility to verify the tire size information. It is buyer's responsibility to verify whether a specific tire is suitable for a specific vehicle. However, this tire size may be fitted on other vehicles as well. To ensure that you are purchasing the correct tire size for your vehicle, please check the size of your currently mounted tires (locate on the tire's sidewall). The tire's sidewall also features the speed and load rating, indicating the speed and load capacity of the specific tire. The speed and load index can differ from the tires you currently have mounted on your vehicle up to a degree. Please check your vehicle's Owner's Manual or consult with your mechanic regarding the changes of your tire's speed rating and load index. If you have any questions regarding your tire size , speed rating and load index please contact us prior to purchasing and confirm with certified auto technician of any variance in speed and load index and sizes.
