Continental Tires now 25% Off and Ships Free. Compared to conventional tires, ContiSportsContact SSR tires feature a reinforced self-supporting sidewall, which protects the inner part of the tire from being crushed between the rim and the ground. It’s also difficult for Continental Tires ContiSportsContact SSR to slip off the rim when you have a puncture since it is protected by the SSR technology. You can therefore continue driving on a deflated tire for up to 50 miles without damaging your tire or the rim.
