Product description & features

The Continetal Sport Contact 5 SSR is the latest ultra high performance tyre from Continental. Developed and tested in conjunction with our OE partners the ContiSportContact 5 P combines maximum safety and driving pleasure.

Sport Contact 5 SSR features a flexible ‘macro-block’ design which increases the contact area and interaction with the road surface. This results in superb grip and stability when cornering. ‘Black Chilli Technology’ combines the use of grip resins and high structured racing carbon black to achieve short braking distances and excellent stability.

A 0° hybrid cap ply achieves circumferential stiffness and radial flexibility, resulting in excellent steering precision and increased grip and stability when cornering

The Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR - 225/45 R17 W is a summer tyre.

They feel very secure in all weather conditions and it's comforting to know that the tyres were developed by Continental in conjunction with BMW

They are performing as I expect a set of premium tyres to perform. In 6000 miles of normal driving they have never given me cause for concern, grip, noise levels, wear and comfort all as expected. No reason not to choose them again if they are reasonably priced.

Although I have not travelled many miles since purchasing these tyres they seem fine. I have always used these Continental run flat tyres on my BMW 318i, for over fourteen years. Apart from the firm ride (that's the price you pay with RFT) they have performed well.

Tyres perform well in all conditions providing excellent levels of grip. My only observation would be that I would like more mileage from a set of tyres, 20k miles being the average achieved.

The tyres feel reassuring in the wet/winter weather. As with anything there is always a price to pay for a benefit, in this case the benefit of run flat tyres is offset by the slightly more harsh ride compared to non run flat.
