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.

Customer Reviews
Very smooth tires with a good amount of grip. They slip with high torque in dry conditions. Cornering is great, but not the best. This is what I wanted; smooth ride I can enjoy on the highway, knowing I would sacrifice some performance. It's a great balance for those who don't track their sports car.
Conti is phenomenal tire especially for the price I’m going to see it’s behavior in light snow I’ve had about 4 SETS of various interaterations of the DWS
Drove 9800 miles from SF to Montreal down the east coast and back to California hwy 40 Excellent handling and a quiet ride on our longer trip!
I run a staggered 255/35R20 front 295/30R20 rear combo on my M550i. I drive pretty "spiritedly" every day in Chicagoland weather and traffic, as well as bi-monthly highway trips from IL to KY. The Extreme Contact Sport 02 has been an AMAZING tire! The ride quality and noise is great for daily commuting, and the grip in the twisties is confidence-inspiring. Even straight line traction from a dead stop is impressive for a radial tire with this treadwear rating. Mine were more than sufficient for my drag strip runs, especially with AWD. I will likely put a set of these on my Z06 Corvette when it is time for new tires as well. You really can't go wrong with these. It is easy to see how these are a direct competitor of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
