Product Information

Continental EXTREMECONTACT SPORT

The ExtremeContact Sport is a summer tire designed by Continental for sports cars, performance sedans, and luxury vehicles. It offers a combination of high performance in both wet and dry conditions, along with a comfortable ride and reduced noise. However, it is important to note that this tire is not recommended for use in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. The tire's design features a specialized summer-only compound and an asymmetrical tread pattern with five ribs (some sizes have six). Continental's SportPlus Technology is implemented in the tire to ensure precise handling, enhanced wear, and excellent wet traction. The wide tread blocks on the outside shoulder provide lateral grip and improve high-speed handling, while the continuous center rib ensures a solid on-center feel. Additionally, the optimized tread footprint helps to evenly distribute pressure across the tire's surface, resulting in improved tread life. To enhance grip in damp conditions, the ExtremeContact Sport incorporates Continental's patented +Silane tread compound technology. This technology provides sure-footed handling on wet roads. The tire also features deep, circumferential grooves that allow water to flow through the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The tread pattern includes Quickview Performance Indicators, which provide a clear indication of the tire's suitability for use in both wet and dry conditions. Internally, the ExtremeContact Sport is constructed with a polyester or rayon cord body casing (depending on size) and a two-ply sidewall construction. This design adds stiffness to the sidewall without compromising ride comfort. The tire's structure is reinforced by two high-tensile steel belts and two spirally wound polyamide cap plies, which enable high-speed capability and durability. Important note: If the temperature drops to 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower, the ExtremeContact Sport tires must gradually return to at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for a minimum of 24 hours before any adjustments are made, such as adjusting inflation pressures or mounting them on wheels. Cold-weather use can cause irreversible cracking in the tire's specialized rubber compounds. Please be aware that tire cracking is not covered by warranty and any tires showing signs of cracking must be replaced.
