Continental EcoContact 6 SSR ( 225/40 R18 92Y XL *, EVc, runflat )

EcoContact 6 SSR The next standard enhanced by German technology. The new generation of Green Chili™ brings the newest and most advanced compounding technologies to the Eco tyre line: Maximum fuel efficiency thanks to improved component geometry and efficient silica distribution. The EcoContact™ 6 strikes an optimal balance between tyre size and component distribution. The high-tech compound provides robust connections between the silica and the rubber. This allows an optimal adaptation to varying road conditions, which ultimately improves the tyre’s rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Enhanced mileage due to the new Green Chili™ 2.0 compound. The advanced Green Chili™ 2.0 compound adapts to the road surface, which leads to a reduction in the rubber loss throughout its life cycle. As a result, mileage is increased. Optimised grip and handling experience. The EcoContact™ 6 offers a tailor-made pattern, resulting in the best compromise between dry and wet performance. It further increases the safety in handling situations such as lane changes. And due to its innovative asymmetric rib and sipe geometry, the tyre always keeps the contact with the road. SSR The Self-Supporting Runflat (SSR) technology is based on a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. When there is a puncture, the sidewall is prevented from being crushed between the rim and the ground, as well as the tyre from slipping off the rim, which can make it impossible to fit a spare tyre.
