The ExtremeContact Force is Continental's high-performance tire designed for sports cars and performance enthusiasts. It is engineered to provide maximum grip and consistent performance on the track while still delivering suitable performance on regular roads. It should not be used in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. Continental used their extensive racing experience to develop the endurance-focused tread compound of the ExtremeContact Force. It offers predictable handling and strong grip from the first lap to the last. The tire features a solid center rib for quick steering response and consistent traction. The wide, low void outboard shoulders maximize contact with the road for enhanced lateral grip and precise cornering. It also has tread depth pins on the shoulders to help monitor performance and wear. The tire's design incorporates grooves for hydroplaning resistance and water evacuation. Internally, the ExtremeContact Force has a strong two-ply polyester casing for precise handling. It also has twin steel belts for durability and high-speed capability, along with a polyamide cap ply for better control during high-performance driving. Please note that if the tire is exposed to freezing temperatures, it should gradually return to at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for 24 hours before any adjustments or usage. Using the tire in cold weather may cause irreversible cracking in the rubber compounds, which is not covered under warranty and requires replacement.
