Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 335/30R18, Summer, High Performance ti

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Improved controllability; Longer service life; Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 TiresThe Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Excellent summer traction is provided with this tread design and the summer compound. They work together to boost performance in dry and wet conditions. In this manner, the summer compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures, while the asymmetric tread pattern keeps road contact in the summer season. On the other hand, the wide grooves on the tread pattern prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water from the footprint, offering a safe driving experience. The model improves its controllability. The asymmetric tread design manages to maintain road contact at all times. This increases the steering response time and accuracy to the drivers commands, while the structure is stabilized against driving pressure. The optimal shoulder blocks firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, upgrading the cornering ability. At the same time, the strong internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under driving pressure. The compound prevents pressure accumulation throughout the high speed performance. This combination offers a safe driving experience even at high speeds. The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 extends its service life and usability. The asymmetric tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area. The durable compound reduces the treadwear rate as well. This slow and even wear resists irregular and premature wear formations across the tread area, offering a longer-lasting tread life. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
