Continental ContiWinterContact TS 810 S SSR ( 205/50 R17 93V XL, runflat )

The sporty winter tire for powerful medium and luxury-class cars: As a sports tire for winter use, the ContiWinterContact™ TS 810 Sport combines superb handling with good wet grip and safe driving characteristics on wintry roads. Stiff shoulder blocks deliver outstanding cornering stability. Its band-shaped tread structure in the center zone, similar to that of summer tires, ensures shortest braking distances on dry roads. Thicker sipes with their sipe spacers on the inside of the tyre keep the sipes open when they pass through the ground contact area. This makes the sipe fill up with more snow and boosts the amount of extra grip on wintry roads. Highlights: Outstanding performance in all winter conditions Superb handling and braking on dry roads Excellent aquaplaning safety. Continental SSR TiresSSR stands for SelfSupportingRunflat TireThe SSR principle: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.Communication between tire and driverBecause of the good riding comfort SSR tires afford, drivers hardly notice any pressure loss in the event of a flat, to increase both safety in the event of a flat and performance during normal driving, the SSR system is supplied together with an inflation warning system – either TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) or DDS (Deflation Detection System), both of which were likewise developed by Continental. These warning systems alert the driver when a drop in inflation pressure requires investigation via a display on the instrument panel. SSR runflat tires offer crucial advantages 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
