The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 summer tire belongs to the UHP category and is designed for installation on powerful sedans, crossovers, and SUVs. The model can be used for both everyday driving and racing on racing tracks. It provides a high level of responsiveness at speed, excellent traction on wet roads, and a short braking distance. All this was achieved through the use of innovative technologies in combination with extensive experience in creating racing tires.
The tread is asymmetrical and non-directional. Its basis is a ribbed structure, each ring element of which is equipped with grooves and notches. Together, they form a series of gripping edges that increase the level of traction on the road surface. Among the special technologies used in the tire, SportPlus can be distinguished. Thanks to the latter, sports handling is achieved with an instant response to steering wheel turns. Wide shoulder zones and sidewalls reinforced with additional layers of compound support the stability of the vehicle during maneuvering, maintaining the clarity of its handling.
The compound itself was made based on a racing mixture, into which a number of polymer additives were introduced. They significantly increased the resistance to wear, increasing the period of operation. To monitor wear, an original multi-stage indicator is provided, showing the possibility of using the tire on a particular surface, taking into account the current level of tread wear.
