For drivers who demand superior handling, cornering, and agility in the heat of summer, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a great choice. This ultra high performance tire gives you absolute confidence at every turn. The technologies used by Continental offer the best traction and surface grip, be it on wet or dry roads.
Starting off, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 has a special rubber compound that provides a sticky grip, keeping you in control at all times. Also, the asymmetric five rib tread pattern takes performance to new heights, offering precise steering accuracy at a maximum speed of 186 mph, depending on the size. What's more, four linear grooves raise safety on rainy days by throwing water away from the tread area. Thanks to that, the risk of aquaplaning is reduced, giving you peace of mind. Besides, the smart sipe design adds extra biting edges that shorten that braking distance and offer smooth acceleration.
In addition, the narrow sidewalls of the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 combat lateral forces created at higher speeds, thus lifting the cornering ability. Moreover, they protect the wheel from curb damage to prevent costly repairs. With such a stylish design, your ride will stand out from the crowd. The tire's shoulders cushion road noise, granting maximum comfort and silence when cruising down the highway. Finally, this model is available on the US market in many sizes from 15" to 21" rim diameters. Some of the best car choices for this tire, according to reviews, are the Audi RS3, Cadillac CT4, and Lexus RC.
