Why runflat compatibility matters
Runflat tyres are designed to work with compatible wheels and pressure warning systems. They can help a driver continue for a limited distance after pressure loss, but they still need professional inspection after a puncture or warning light.
Continental's SSR marking means Self Supporting Runflat.

FAQ
Can I mix runflat and non-runflat tyres?
It is generally best to avoid mixing tyre construction across the vehicle. Get the setup checked first.
Are runflats harsher than normal tyres?
They can feel firmer because of reinforced sidewalls, but ride feel also depends on size, pressure and suspension.
Do Mercedes runflats still need tyre pressure checks?
Yes. Runflat tyres still need correct pressure and a functioning warning system.
