Top 3 Continental SportContact 2 SSR Run Flat Reviews

Given 67% while driving a BMW 335i (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Had these tures fitted to my e92 335i rwd in a staggered setup (225/45 r17 F and 255/40 R17 R). Bought the car used with these tires in Germany. They felt very crashy over road imperfections and the grip was not that good.

Given 57% while driving a BMW 325i M Sport (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 15,000 spirited miles
Fitted to E90 M Sport. Front tires wore uneven and wore out of round resulting it having to be replaced after just 25000km. Rear tires wore down to limit after 30000km. Tire has much better grip and comfort than Bridgestone RE050A RFT.

Given 84% while driving a BMW 320i Touring (205/55 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 60,000 spirited miles
These tires lasted about 30,000 miles on my BMW 320. Some criticise the comfort of run flat tires but car has a very good ride - probably because the tires are the standard higher profile ones that come on 16 inch wheels as opposed to the more "macho" low profile tires that feature on higher spec BMW's.

Latest Continental SportContact 2 SSR Run Flat Reviews

Given 99% while driving a BMW 118d M Sport (225/45 R17 V) on mostly motorways for 8,000 average miles
Brilliant tires very grippy in the dry and excellent in the wet, wearing well too they are down to 7mm after 8k.

Given 51% while driving a BMW E91 325i (225/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 12,000 easy going miles
This tire lies in the front of my car, wears very unevenly and generates terribly loud noise. It has rim protection that didn't fully stop my whe els from kissing the curb. It is very old tires design, even its successor CSC3 is being replaced by CSC5. So luckily I don't have to buy this tire again.

Given 91% while driving a BMW 320D (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
Having suffered with Bridgestone Potenza Runflats when the car was new I replaced the rears at 16000 miles with these Conti SportContact 2 SSR Runflats and what a fabulous difference. Car now sticks to road like glue, ride comfort very much better and am no longer frightened of driving on wet roads, of which we have too much in west Scotland.
Why don't BMW fit these as original equipment instead of those dreadful Potenza 's?
