The ContiSportContact 5P SSR (Self Supporting Runflat) is Continental Tire''s Max Performance Summer run-flat tire designed to provide temporary extended mobility in case of complete air loss due to a puncture. Tires in sizes used for staggered fitments are optimized to meet the specific performance requirements of front or rear axle positions.* The ContiSportContact 5P SSR is designed to deliver steering precision, cornering stability and short stopping distances in dry and wet conditions, However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
ContiSportContact 5P SSR tires permit drivers to remain mobile in the event of a flat tire by allowing them to reach their destination or tire service facility without having to replace a flat tire with the spare tire. The ContiSportContact 5P SSR's reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) for up to 50 miles (80 km), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight.
The ContiSportContact 5P SSR benefits from a tread compound with Continental''s Black Chilli Technology that features an innovative type of racing-grade carbon black to ensure a speedy warm-up along with special grip resins that optimize traction on wet and dry roads. These new carbon blacks and resins blend the rubber's flexibility (important for traction) with the tread's rigidity (important for handling). This compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring a continuous center rib (or multiple ribs in wider sizes, especially those tuned for rear axle only applications) flanked by a large number of small, interlocked tread blocks. Circumferential grooves help water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning while the transverse block edges divert water away from the tread blocks to improve wet traction.
The tire's internal structure features a rolling resistance-optimized cap and base tread ("cap" on the outside with the "base" underneath), along with twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide (a mixture of heat-resistant synthetic aramid fiber and nylon threads) that enhance the ride quality while tuning the contact area''s vertical flexibility and lateral rigidity. Reinforced self-supporting sidewalls prevent the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim in the event of a loss of inflation.
*Because ContiSportContact 5P SSR tires are tuned for specific axle applications, each size is identified as "Front/Both Axles" or "Rear Axle Only" in Sizes, as well as in tire SPECS.
El ContiSportContact 5P SSR de Continental, es un neumático rueda flat de la categoría: Rendimiento Máximo Para Verano, diseñado para proporcionar movilidad temporal extendida, en caso de perdida de aire por un pinchazo. Neumáticos con tamaños diferentes del eje frontal y el trasero son optimizados para cumplir requerimientos específicos de rendimiento*. El ContiSportContact 5P SSR, ha sido diseñado para ofrecer precisión al girar el volante, estabilidad al tomar curvas y distancias corta al frenar sobre superficies secas o mojadas. Sin embargo, como todo neumático de verano, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
Los neumáticos, ContiSportContact 5P SSR, permiten movilidad a los conductores en caso de tener un pinchazo, permitiéndoles alcanzar su destino o taller de reparación, sin la necesidad de un neumático de repuesto. Los refuerzos ubicados en los flancos o paredes del ContiSportContact 5P SSR, permiten que el vehículo continúe a una velocidad máxima de 50 mph (80 km/h) hasta 50 millas (80 km); dependiendo de las condiciones de la carretera y el peso del vehículo.
El ContiSportContact 5P SSR se beneficia de un compuesto de caucho que utiliza la tecnología Black Chilli de Continental, la cual utiliza un innovador carbón negro con grado de carrera, para asegurar una temperatura más caliente con más rapidez, además resinas especiales mejoran el agarre optimizando la tracción sobre superficies mojadas o secas. Este carbón negro nuevo y la mezcla de resinas combinan la flexibilidad del caucho (importante para la tracción) y la rigidez de la banda (importante para mejor maniobrabilidad). Canales circunferenciales ayudan a sacar el agua del área donde el neumático hace contacto con la carretera, lo cual ayuda a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Bordes transversales sobre los bloques o tacos dispersan el agua de la banda de rodamiento para mejorar la tracción.
La estructura interna cuenta con una capa que optimiza la resistencia al rodar y una base por debajo, además correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con poliamida envuelta en espiral (mezcla de hilos de nailon y fibra sintéticas de aramida resistente al calor) mejoran la calidad del andar, al mismo tiempo de ajustar la flexibilidad del área de contacto y la rigidez lateral.
Flancos o paredes que pueden sostenerse por si solas, previenen que la parte interna del neumático se pellizque entre el rin y la carretera en caso de perdida de aire.
* Debido a que los neumáticos ContiSportContact 5P SSR han sido ajustados para ejes específicos, cada tamaño es identificado como “Front/Both Axles” o “Rear Axle Only” en las páginas de TAMAÑOS y ESPECIFICACIÓN.
