Mercedes Benz c43 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR Runflat given 59% (225-40-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
This tire grips excellently in the dry and has decent wet weather performance. However, the wear is horrendous and the ride comfort is horrible (as is expected with a sport runflat). The worst part about it is its durability. I live an a pothole prone area and the roads in general aren't the greatest. This tire is known to get tire bubbles and punctures extremely easily and forces you to buy a whole new tire to replace it. There are MANY better options especially for the absurdly high price tag. I have since gotten rid of them because I do not want to deal with its mediocre performance with bad durability and bad comfort.

I have Mercedes C43 the tyres scrubbed out on the inside front in 20,000 kms on highway driving.

Absolutely excellent! For those who say it's a stiff tire you best do your homework before purchasing. They are performance tires they're supposed to be firm.

Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Never been keen on runflats but they were fitted on the car when purchased so went along with them. However 2 x cracked front wheels later I’m not impressed, the ride is so unbelievably hard even with the suspension set to comfort, you will feel every tiny bump. dry grip is great but wet grip isn’t so good I have lost it twice and had to correct oversteer even with 4 wheel drive, in the tyres defence it does have 400hp. Road noise is a little high. They are coming off this week and getting replaced with non runflats. I wouldn’t buy them again.

I keep getting punctures, at least every four months, are these tyres “weak” or am I unlucky. I’ll be interested to read others comments. Before my Merc I had a BMW with run flats and apart the road noise no problems although I used Bridgestone tyres.

Driving on mostly motorways for 19000 average miles
yesterday replaced as rear 245/40 and front n/side 225/45 at legal limit and getting lively in flood conditions. C43s are famous for eating tyres despite esp (pity i don't have it as well)being always on.
bit disappointed not to have made 20000 but only 500 short, similar to conti's- real budgets probably last longer but may be from adjusted driving style.
I regard as premium and wanted to replace like for like but boy has the price gone up. Bit like Skoda, used to be an interesting alternative but now just another top product. For next 10 months (20k) back to cheapos, will I regret?
