Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02 Expect excellent performance and handling from the Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02! This tire offers superior wet and dry handling and braking, as well as exceptional tread life and track-proven performance. It is specifically designed for sports cars, performance coupes, sedans, muscle cars, and electric vehicles. The Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02 delivers impressive performance without the high price tag seen in other ultra-high-performance summer tires. Not only is this tire a popular choice among drivers, but it is also the preferred tire of well-known establishments such as the ROUSH Performance, BMW Performance Driving School, and the AMG Driving Academy. Some notable features of the Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02 include a specialized summer-only +Silane tread compound with molded ribbed asymmetric design for exceptional wet performance. The SportPlus Technology provides precise handling, wet traction, and increased wear resistance. Wide shoulder tread blocks enhance lateral grip and high-speed handling, while a continuous center rib ensures constant rubber-to-road contact for a stable driving experience. The wide, optimized footprint distributes pressure evenly across the tire's surface, resulting in improved tread life. Deep circumferential grooves effectively channel water away from the tire's contact patch to prevent hydroplaning. The tire's construction includes two-ply polyester casing supported by two steel belts and a polyamide reinforcement ply for enhanced stability and performance at high speeds. Additionally, the tire features tuned performance indicators that indicate when it is no longer optimized for dry or wet conditions. It is important to note that the Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02 is a summer tire and should not be used in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. Continental offers their Total Confidence Plan warranty which includes a 60-day customer satisfaction trial, flat tire roadside assistance, road hazard coverage, and emergency trip interruption coverage. In addition, the tire comes with a generous 30,000-mile limited warranty. For added peace of mind, customers have the option to purchase Certificates, which provide protection and a brand new replacement tire if the original tire cannot be safely repaired. The Continental ExtremeContact^™ Sport 02 is the perfect choice for budget-conscious enthusiasts who seek excellent performance in a summer tire.
