Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 Features
What makes the Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 unique?
Superior wet and dry handling and braking, exceptional tread life and track-proven performance!
The Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 is an ultra-high performance passenger summer tire with amazing performance features. Designed specifically for sports cars, performance coupes, sedans and muscle cars, it is also a splendid option for your EV! Compared to other UHP summer options from other brands, the Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 delivers track-worthy thrills and blue-ribbon performance without premium tire pricing.
It is the preferred tire of ROUSH Performance, BMW Performance Driving School and the AMG Driving Academy.
Other features of the Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 include:
Specialized summer only +Silane tread compound with molded ribbed asymmetric design for ultra-high performance in wet conditions.
SportPlus Technology offers precise handling, wet traction and boosted wear.
Wide shoulder tread blocks deliver lateral grip and high-speed handling while a continuous center rib keeps constant rubber-to-road contact for a solid on center feel.
Enjoy improved tread life via a wide, optimized footprint that evenly distributes pressure across the tire’s face.
Deep circumferential grooves effectively channel water away from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning.
Two-ply polyester casing supported by two steel belts work in tandem with a polyamide reinforcement ply for strong, high speed stability and performance.
Tuned performance indicators (D and W for “dry” and “wet") indicate when the tire is no longer tuned for optimum performance in either of these conditions.
Like all summer tires, the Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 should not be used, stored or serviced in near or below freezing temperatures. It should not be driven on snow or ice.

Trying vs Michelin Pilot 4 Sport. Steering response is actually better (no double steer) than the Michelins. Can't push them quite as far as the Michelins but more than enough for any non track use. Steering input is much more defined vs Michelins but in a straight line they don't track as well. So each is slightly better in different areas. For fun every day use these Conti's are worth the discount vs the Michelins.

Seem ever bit as good as the Michelin 4’s they replaced. Better price and Visa debit care.

Very happy with these tires

These are performance tires. Pluses: Fantastic roadholding, they stick better in the wet than many other tires do in the dry. The bad: Loud, harsh ride. Worst for me is that I drive an EV. Although these claim to be 'designed for EVs', that is pure marketing bullpoop. Yeah, you can put them on EVs and it won't spontaneously combust! But I lost 25% of my range. As big a loss as when I have actual track tires on my car, which stick even better but wear faster. My winter tires do way, way better than these Contis. Unfortunately, no returns on these, just ore bullpoop from Conti, so I'm going to have to charge my car 33% more often until they are worn out. Thanks Conti, I won't be buying any more of your tires.
