Top notch tire with a good reputation.

A quality tire. Soft ride and quiet
Miata
This is the second set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports I've had on my 1991 Mazda Miata. The difference in grip over the previous Yokohama S-Drives was significant and immediately noticeable at my first autocross. When it's a wet autocross, the Continental's excellent wet traction gives me an advantage, and I'm typically faster than drivers who normally beat my times. In normal driving, the Continentals are also first rate. Besides competing in 12 to 15 autocross events each year, I also drive the car around 5,000 to 6,000 miles. They perform well whether I'm commuting on the highway or taking a spirited drive on the back roads. Ride quality and noise levels are excellent for a high-performance tire. The tires have held up reasonably well to the rigors of autocross, but I only expect to get around two years and 10,000 miles out of them, nowhere near their treadwear warranty. I'm sure I could get far more mileage out of them otherwise. A 340 treadwear rating isn't ideal for autocross (many drivers use 200 rated tires), but I don't want to have to change tires for every event. For my dual purposes, these Continentals get the job done and done well.

good traction and they handle corners nicely. if you drive carefully in rain you'll be fine. my rear kicks out when i hit the gas too hard but every tire will do that. these tires will never be michelins but they are very close to being there.

I use these tires mostly for High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) track events. They are easier to get and are wearing great with 4 track days so far.
