Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a high-performance summer tire that offers exceptional handling and braking on both wet and dry roads. It has a long-lasting tread life and has been proven to perform well on the track. This tire is specifically designed for sports cars, performance coupes, sedans, muscle cars, and electric vehicles. It provides impressive performance without the high price tag typically associated with ultra-high performance summer tires. Notably, it is the preferred tire of ROUSH Performance, BMW Performance Driving School, and the AMG Driving Academy. The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 has several features that contribute to its performance. It is equipped with a specialized summer-only +Silane tread compound and a molded ribbed asymmetric design for optimal wet performance. The SportPlus Technology enhances handling, wet traction, and wear resistance. The wide shoulder tread blocks ensure high-speed handling and lateral grip, while the continuous center rib maintains a solid on-center feel. The tire's wide and optimized footprint evenly distributes pressure for improved tread life. Additionally, the deep circumferential grooves effectively channel water away to prevent hydroplaning. The tire's structure includes a two-ply polyester casing supported by two steel belts and a polyamide reinforcement ply, providing stability and performance at high speeds. The tuning performance indicators (D and W) indicate when the tire 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 near or below freezing temperatures. It is not suitable for driving on snow or ice. Continental offers a Total Confidence Plan warranty for this tire, which includes a 60-day customer satisfaction trial, roadside assistance for flat tires, road hazard coverage, and emergency trip interruption coverage. Additionally, there is a 30,000-mile limited warranty provided. To ensure complete peace of mind, customers have the option to add Certificates to their order, which guarantees a brand new replacement tire free of charge in case of irreparable damage.
