Continental ContiProContact SSR 

These tires are outstanding so far. Quiet, grippy and responsive. Great in the rain.

Quiet, smooth ride with great wet traction.

These came with purchase at 12k miles. I rode them to
40k. Got a second pair and am at 90k. Time to
Purchase. The fronts do burn quickly but that is normal. Great traction. Really holds the road. I live in Northeast and always buy winter specific tires. I rode these all seasons thru the winter and loved them. Yes the All4 helps but I was surprised at how good they run in snow. Only negative? The run flats are so stiff on any pothole bump frost heave. Rattles your teeth.

Purchased this vehicle late Aug 2017 from BMW dealer as lease return with 19,995 miles and tires about half worn. I am scheduling them for replacement now with 37,500+ miles and tires visibly at the end of their useful life. They have been very stable, quiet and sure-footed in the variety of conditions I have experienced. Road noise I've heard has came from the variety of surfaces used in my area, some simply respond to the surface conditions & temperature with more noise. Was never loud enough to be an issue with me or passengers. Drove all winter this year, with record low temps & snowfall in my area -- did not drive in deep snow, but all others were driven without a instance where I felt tires couldn't handle the situation. This is my 1st experience with run-flat tires, so it took a while to get used to the stiffer ride. Other than that, I had a great experience with these and would buy again.

This is a Continental run-flat tire. It saved me from serious injury when driving home one evening in light rain on a major busy freeway. My front right tire ran into a large pot hole in the slow lane that I was driving and damaged the tire with a dollar size hole in the side wall. If the run flat was not designed to carry the weight of the car even when the tire was blown out, I could have swerved into the guard rail alongside the freeway. But the tire kept on supporting the car and I was able to drive it the rest of way home at 50 mph. Being stuck with a flat tire in the rain and in the dark was not an option for me. Fortunately, the run flat saved me.

These are the OE tires on my 2013 BMW 335i. Aside from a couple of autocross events, they've seen mostly a ton of highway commute miles. For performance/street driving, they're adequate with decent levels of year-round grip and durability during hard use. In just about every other way, they have been outstanding for my purposes. Excellent noise and comfort even at the end of their long service life....nearly 50k miles in less than two years so they have lasted much longer than I'd have guessed. Good overall compromise as the standard tire on this car. I have to replace them soon and even though these are the most expensive option, I'm not seeing anything else available that looks any better. If you are a performance-oriented driver AND you have to have run flats, you could surely do much worse than the ContiProContact SSR.

This is a great tire… my E300 drives like a brand new car… actually better than when it was brand new… the OEM Goodyears didn’t do the car justice…

I don’t know how long they will last me… but so far they have been super quiet and super smooth… and the car handles very well!!!

Bought CPO BMW 535i xdrive with two new tires installed during certification and two tires with approx. 30% wear. These tires had many different reviews so I have been monitoring them to see if I should continue using them I find they are great all around tires. Ride quality is very stable and comfortable while tires are very responsive yet quiet when pushed hard. Drove through 3" of fresh snow with no problems including some hills. Tread wear seems very good as new tires have maybe 1/32" wear in 7500 miles when measured with depth gauge. My concern is Continental does not publish any real test data for information on how they have advanced the technology on these run flat tires over the last 6 years to 8 years to improve them even when I emailed them only received based sales sheet I will keep monitoring them and see if I purchase same model tire. I have grown to value the run flat benefits and carry inflation kit if needed.

Admittedly I’m a lead foot, I’m not a tailgater or a weaver in/out of lanes simply because I don’t trust anyone around me to make good decisions!

I call them “meat eaters, they drive in herds and I avoid them as a rule. Give me open road and I’m going to ride the rails! There’s a BOLO out for me lol but that’s a whole other story. Baby sister of the brotherhood, my brother retired after 32 yrs felony warrants, and I was notorious growing up , had a lot of fun ! Law enforcement taught me how to drive and that’s the irony in all this..

I have a long relationship with TIRE RACK, everyone has been professional and they go the extra distance for me.. I have yet to change out my treads due to wear they hold up well! I’m a magnet for debri or being on a very dark road and slamming into a pothole , things like that lol

My tires arrive next day to any address I need and my mobile service, Peter from Al,s mobile arrives shortly after and gets me back out “RIDING THE RAILS”

I can’t say enough about the quality of service, the wonderful communication and how pleasant any rep from TIRE RACK is everytime we interact.

Run flats aren’t cheap, and it’s usually an unexpected expenditure, but a company that leaves me laughing makes what could be stressful just another bump in the road!

I only wish they could help with the occasional speeding ticket lol

The best !

On the positive side, I had 0 complaints for the first 20k-25k miles and there have not been any sidewall bubbles which had been a plague in previous tires/vehicles on run flats. Treadwear is ok with tires needing to be changed at 35k vs the rated 40k. However, part of the problem was overinflated rear tires while following the on board computer guide, and improper alignment for part of the life of the tires combined with untimely tire rotation.
Road noise started to be noticeable after 20k, became bothersome after 25-27k and is now significant at 35k. Noise was made worst after having a laser alignment done on both rear and front, as it forced the tires into a different position. I believe the uneven wear caused by the previously mentioned issues is a contributing factor, and would likely be reduced had the alignment, tire rotation and proper inflation been perfect through ought the tires life.
For everyone having issues with these tires, make sure all these issues are addressed early on.
Ride roughness has been on par with other tire brands previously owned and although it felt ok early on does feel harsh now.

Came as OEM tires on my 2014 CLA250, purchased in Oct 2013, with 52,000 miles of mixed NJ backroad/city/highway on them and still at 4.6mm (just under 6/32") tread left. Not sure what folks with poor tread wear are doing to their tires, but I sure don't have any complaints. Tires are rotated at ever 10k miles with regular service, nothing more. Traction is predictable, average drivers should be able to feel when it's getting pushed (even with moderately numb CLA steering) and when to back off. Some caution if the pavement you drive on have running seams or cracks, these tires track on them more than I've noticed on any other tires. Lane changes over long snaky asphalt cracks on some of these NJ highways, the tires want to pull and follow the crack instead.

Wet road traction is good, no more discernible loss of confidence at 65+ mph on Interstates in the rain than any other tires.

As for snow/ice conditions...these aren't winter tires but they're competent. I keep any acceleration, deceleration and steering smooth and gentle so I can't comment on how far they'll go. I've never pushed them in those conditions.

They're run-flats, a stiffer ride is to be expected so they perform as I expect on the comfort front. Only real complaint is the highway tire noise, there's a lot of it.

Would I buy these again? Probably not for the CLA, not enough sound insulation for tires this noisy. Even on super smooth highways, at 65+ mph it is pretty awful.
