Continental 3125140000 ExtremeContact Sport 02 245/35ZR18 92Y XL Summer UHP Tire

The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a summer ultra-high-performance passenger car tire engineered for sports cars, luxury performance vehicles, and muscle cars. Sized at 245/35ZR18 with a 92Y service description and Extra Load (XL) rating, this tire delivers a compelling blend of dry grip, wet traction, and extended tread life backed by Continental's decades of performance engineering.

Built around Continental's proprietary SportPlus Technology, the ExtremeContact Sport 02 features a specialized summer compound molded into an asymmetric tread design. The asymmetric pattern maintains consistent road contact for sharper steering response and improved cornering stability, while wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water to resist hydroplaning in wet conditions. Integrated tuned performance indicators (D and W symbols) in the tread blocks disappear as wear progresses, alerting the driver when dry or wet performance has been compromised.

Internally, the ExtremeContact Sport 02 is built on a two-ply polyester casing reinforced by two steel belts and a polyamide cap ply for high-speed stability. The Extra Load construction allows the tire to carry greater loads at higher inflation pressures. This tire is also engineered to be compatible with electric vehicles (EV), handling the added weight and instant-torque demands of EV drivetrains.
