The Continental ProContact GX SSR is a premium all-season run-flat touring tire designed for luxurious coupes, sedans, and crossovers. It features reinforced sidewalls that allow it to be driven for a limited distance after a puncture.
Continental ProContact GX SSR tires are available from $175.44.
All-Season: All-Season tires are the versatile, year-round choice, designed to provide a balanced performance in a variety of conditions including dry highways, wet roads, and light snow. They offer a convenient single-set solution for drivers in moderate climates who want reliable handling without seasonal tire changes. While highly practical, they are a compromise and not a substitute for dedicated winter tires in heavy snow or icy conditions.
Run Flat: Run Flat tires are engineered to allow continued, limited driving even after a puncture and a complete loss of air pressure. This extended mobility is achieved through different technologies, including heavily reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle's weight, an internal support-ring system, or self-sealing liners that can plug punctures automatically. The primary benefit is the safety and convenience of reaching a service center without a roadside stop, often eliminating the need for a spare tire. Due to their specialized construction, they typically have a firmer ride, a higher replacement cost, and are often unrepairable after a run-flat event.
Touring: Touring tires are designed to deliver a superior balance of comfort, low noise, and a long-lasting tread life. They feature an optimized tread design that ensures a smooth and quiet ride, making them an ideal choice for daily commuting and long-distance travel. While they provide reliable and predictable handling for most driving conditions, they prioritize ride quality and longevity over the sharp, responsive feel of a high-performance tire.
