Continental Unveils New Summer UHP Tire

Nov. 1, 2022

Continental Tire the Americas LLC has updated its summer, ultra-high performance tire lineup with the ExtremeContact Sport02, a tire the company says outperforms its predecessor in speed, braking and responsiveness.

The ExtremeContact Sport02 is available in sizes ranging from diameters of 15 inches to 21 inches.

The tire, designed for both the street and the track, comes with Continental's SportPlus Technology, which provides responsive handling, better grip on wet roads and extended tread life.

“We are excited to introduce the ExtremeContact Sport02,” says Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental. “This tire takes ultra-high performance to the next level. Our customers already loved the ExtremeContact Sport, and we made this tire even better. We’re thrilled to add it to the market.”

Continental says the ExtremeContact Sport02 is designed to outperform the ExtremeContact Sport in three key categories:

  • Up to one second faster in dry handling lap time;
  • Enhanced responsiveness; and
  • Improved dry and wet braking.

The tire is backed by the Total Confidence Plan, including Continental's 30,000 mile warranty.
