Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 - The "Better" Package
Price is for all 4 with FREE* Freight!
The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is the successor to one of the most respected names in the "Max Performance" category. It’s built for drivers of muscle cars and performance sedans who want a tire that can pull double duty: delivering aggressive grip on a weekend canyon run while remaining quiet and durable enough for the weekday commute.
Performance: The "SportPlus" Advantage
Continental’s primary goal with this update was balance. Through their proprietary SportPlus Technology, they’ve managed to improve steering precision and wet-weather safety without sacrificing the tire's lifespan.
-
On-Center Feel: A solid, continuous center rib ensures the car feels planted and responsive even when you're just cruising in a straight line.
-
Cornering Confidence: The outboard shoulder is packed with massive tread blocks. When you lean into a corner, these blocks resist deformation, providing the lateral grip needed for high-speed handling.
-
The +Silane Secret: Continental uses a patented +Silane additive in the rubber compound. This isn't just marketing—it’s a chemical refinement that significantly boosts "bite" on damp or greasy pavement.
-
Longevity: Unlike some extreme track tires that wear out in a heartbeat, the Sport 02 features an optimized footprint that spreads pressure evenly, helping the tread wear down slowly and predictably.
Internal Architecture
The Sport 02 is built to stay stable even as you approach the limits of your car's performance:
| Component | The Benefit |
| Two-Ply Polyester Casing | Balances structural stiffness with a refined ride quality. |
| Twin Steel Belts | Provides the heavy-duty reinforcement needed for high-torque vehicles. |
| Polyamide Overlay | A high-speed reinforcement layer that prevents the tire from "growing" at speed, maintaining a consistent contact patch. |
*FREE Freight offers is for the Continental United States Only.
