The ContiSportContact 5 SSR SUV tire's asymmetric tread pattern is engineered from an advanced blend of rubber material known as Black Chilli. The Short-chain polymers of the Black Chilli absorb energy to produce heat and improve the braking distance, while the long-chain polymers release the absorbed energy to reduce the consequential rolling resistance. The ContiSportContact 5 SSR SUV's design features four circumferential grooves that disperse water to prevent aquaplaning, and wide outboard shoulders that provide enhanced road adherence. A continuous center rib, running throughout the circumference of the tire enhances the steer and braking response. A special feature of the ContiSportContact 5 SSR SUV is the fortified self-sustained sidewalls that safeguard the interior of the tire in case of a puncture. This enables the driver to safely drive to the intended location (at maximum speed of 50mph for a distance of 50 miles) without tending to the puncture or having to change the tire.This tire pattern and size is ideal for Mercedes GLA220 and so on.
