225/45R18 95Y XL - Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR High Performance Tire

Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR (MOExtended) is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger cars and SUVs. It is the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This tire is for the front axle position. This model has outstanding summer traction. The tire's reinforced sidewalls withstand the vehicle's weight for 50 miles after the loss of air pressure, due to the run flat technology used in making the tire. Its cornering ability and power were enhanced and the braking distance was shortened by the special tire compound, making the drive safer. This model reduces fuel consumption, as it stays cooler while driving, which also enhances the ContiSportContact 5 SSR (MOExtended)'s performance.
