Description
The ExtremeContact Force is Continental’s Extreme Performance Summer tire, developed for sports cars, performance sedans, and enthusiast drivers who participate in high-performance driving events, track days, and endurance-style competition. It is engineered to deliver maximum grip and consistent on-track performance while still providing suitable on-road performance and durability for public streets. Like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, the ExtremeContact Force is not intended to be used, stored, or driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice.
Utilizing Continental’s extensive competition and racing heritage, their engineering and design teams developed the ExtremeContact Force’s endurance-focused tread compound to deliver consistent and predictable handling and grip from the first lap to the last. The solid center rib ensures quick steering response and consistent longitudinal traction. Wide, low-void outboard shoulders maximize tread-to-surface contact for extreme lateral grip and mid-corner steering precision. Tread depth pins molded into the shoulder elements help drivers monitor performance, wear quality, and estimate remaining tread life in competition and high-performance driving environments. Twin inboard circumferential grooves help mitigate hydroplaning, while high-angle lateral notches help evacuate water from the outboard shoulder elements.
The internal construction consists of a robust, two-ply polyester casing for precise handling. Twin steel belts provide durability and high-speed capability, along with a single polyamide cap ply for increased footprint control during high-performance driving and maneuvers.
