- Is the ProContact RX SSR a run-flat tire?
- Yes. The SSR stands for Self Supporting Runflat, so the reinforced sidewall carries the car for a limited distance at reduced speed after a puncture. Check your car's owner manual for the approved distance and speed.
- Can I mix it with non-run-flat tires?
- No. Run-flats should be fitted as a set, or at least in matched pairs on the same axle, because their stiffer sidewalls change handling. Mixing them with conventional tires can upset balance and stability.
- Does it work in snow?
- It is an all-season tire, not a winter tire. Light snow is manageable, but for regular cold-weather driving, dedicated winter tires are the safer choice.
- What does 235/40R18 91V mean?
- 235 is the section width in millimeters, 40 is the sidewall height as a percentage of width, R means radial, and 18 is the rim diameter in inches. 91 is the load index and V is the speed rating, up to 149 mph.
- Does it need a spare tire?
- No. The run-flat construction is designed to get you to a service center after a puncture, so many cars fitted with it carry no spare. Check your vehicle's equipment before relying on that.
- How does it compare with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4?
- The Michelin offers sharper dry and wet grip and is a stronger performance choice. The Continental counters with a quieter, more comfort-focused ride and run-flat convenience for cars that require it.
