The SSR's (Run Flat Tyre) reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight. Unlike conventional tires, the SSR principle is based on a reinforced self-supporting sidewall. This prevents the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well in the event of a loss of inflation. The SSR's reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to 80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight.


With SSR tires you remain mobile in the event of a flat tire. You can reach your destination or tire service facility without the bother of having to replace a flat tire with the spare tire. • Compatible with standard rims • Simple mounting • Saves room and weight, and thus fuel, giving you as much as 3 cubic feet more cargo area

Features:

  • New Bionic Compound and stiff ribbed tread pattern
  • Advanced mold Concept Contour
  • Macro Contact technology

Benefits:

  • Optimum handling performance on wet and dry roads
  • Even pressure distribution when braking, even at speeds over 3 km/h
  • Extra wide circumferential grooves for efficient water dispersion and maximum grip in all driving situations


Optimising Grip:

Maximum Transmission of Forces

ContiSportContact 2 has a strikingly clear tread design, allowing no compromises. The asymmetrical pattern guarantees maximum ground adhesion in any driving situation. This is ensured by the closed outer shoulder section and the pronounced strips of tread rubber around the tyre's circumference. Another benefit of this tread design is that it delivers extremely precise steering response, both on curves taken at high speeds and when driving straight.
The circumferential tread strips are much stiffer than individual tread blocks, so our tyre engineers were able to use a softer tread compound. By combining the solid tread strips with the soft compound, tyre mileage performance could be enhanced to a high level.


Maximum Grip In All Driving Situations

For some years now, silica has been one of the standard ingredients of tread compounds for premium, high-performance tyres.
Our ContiSportContact 2 tyre features a newly developed bionic compound. This tread compound consists of two perfectly harmonized networks; a flexible one and a firm one - what we have termed BiNet. The flexible network ensures maximum force transmission between the tyre and road surface for maximum grip, while the firm network provides the necessary stiffness for precise handling stability, especially at high speeds.
Our customers benefit from the ContiSportContact 2's greater safety reserves during braking and cornering, as well as when driving on wet and dry surfaces.


Optimum Braking Performance On All Road Surfaces

Thanks to its bionic contour (Advanced Mold Concept), the ContiSportContact 2 achieves more uniform ground-pressure distribution and hence greater adhesion than its predecessor. At the same time, the contour provides the largest possible ground contact area when the car is braking. This ensures a much shorter braking distance on wet and dry roads, and means more safety for the car occupants.
