Changing a tyre at the side of the road is stressful enough without the added dangers of fast moving traffic, poor visibility and bad weather. Now a loss of tyre pressure is no pressure.

The company that launched the world's first pneumatic tyre with a tread pattern 100 years ago has developed a groundbreaking concept in tyre technology – the Continental SSR, the next generation of tyres that allow you to continue your journey in safety.

Continental's SSR tyres use reinforced sidewalls to support the vehicle in the event of air-pressure loss. SSR technology prevents the side of the flat tyre from being crushed between the road and wheel rim, allowing you to continue driving for up to 80 kilometres at 80 km/h. No more hazardous tyre changes at the side of the road, simply peace of mind that you will reach a sage destination.

SSR tyres allow motorists to handle sudden loss of tyre pressure when driving without the danger usually associated with these incidents. You can continue your journey at a reduced speed depending on the road conditions and the weight of your vehicle up to a distance of 80 kilometres at a maximum of 80 km/h.

Continental SSR tyres are compatible with standard wheel rims and can be fitted at all qualified tyre centres Communication between tyre and driver.
