Tire SSR refers to run-flat tires. The following is an introduction to the functions of tires: 1. Weight: Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car. 2. Transmission: Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 3. Cushioning: Reduce and absorb the vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components. 4. Adaptation: Adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
I've been driving for almost twenty years and have a good understanding of various tires. You're asking what SSR means for tires? It usually refers to the Goodyear Eagle SSR series, a high-performance sports tire. SSR stands for Super Sport Radial, emphasizing sporty handling and grip. I've personally used it and found it exceptionally stable on both dry and wet roads, with short braking distances and quick cornering response, making it particularly suitable for friends who enjoy fast driving or SUVs. Of course, the downsides are also obvious—the tires are hard, a bit noisy, and may slightly increase fuel consumption. However, as a daily driving companion, SSR is still very reliable, just remember to check the tire pressure and wear every six months, don't wait until the tread is worn out to replace them. Safety first, when you want to experience passionate driving, this set of tires can give you more confidence. Additionally, it comes in various sizes, so check the vehicle compatibility chart before purchasing.
