Hi all,
Haven't posted in awhile so I thought I would kick off the New Year with a picture of my new set of Continental Extreme Contact Sport -02's.. I won a set for my SVR (265 x 305) as a door prize during Mr. RickyJay52's very special Every Thing Ends F-Type Tour this past October in Maine. These are new to Continental. I look forward to Spring to try them out. Shout out to Mr.Sean McDermaid, Director of Sales for Continental, a long-time sponsor of RickyJay52's tours.Will post once they get a test drive. If anyone bought a set and has them in use in a sunny place, please post.
I too am interested in your review. Word on the street from small sports car drivers is that the All-Season Contact-2 (...they are the all-season ones, right?) are superb for the weight and balance that the F-Type has. Something about THIS particular tire (and I don't know what) appears to make it a perfect match for the Jaguar F-Type's personality. It's supposed to give a really nice ride and sense of calm when you're handling the car through maneuvers.

No, it is a summer tire (from Continental website):
The ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 is a dynamic, summer ultra-high performance tire for passenger cars. Ideal for both the street and track, this tire comes complete with SportPlus™ Technology, which provides responsive handling, better grip on wet roads, and extended tread life.
....Only the Summer version?
Yuck. I know Conti makes an All Season type of this tire (which is part of the kinda-new concept of "Sport Performance tire for year round use"). I was hoping yours was it....
I’m curious to what you think about the extreme contacts as well…I was planning on getting the same ones, but I just couldn’t pass up the deal I got on 4 FALKEN AZENIS FK510…I know they aren’t as good, but I don’t track the car and as fast I I go through tires out in the desert heat, I cheaped-out lol. Only had the Falkens for a few weeks now but no complaints yet. Keep us posted on the new shoes!
Would you be interested in selling them? I’m currently running the DWS model principally for non-snow winter driving. Will need new summers soon. ‘21 F-Type R Coupe.

No, I need them and am sentimentally attached to them having won them on one of my 5 f type tours (missed the first 3) sponsored by Continental's Sean McDermaid and great friend RickyJay52! I won't be able to post on how they perform till spring. Have Pirelli P zeros, which are not as good as the Michelins I was running om my R before I sold it. I expect them to be an excellent tire.
Well, the new continentals are on. Only drove them home about 20 miles. Certainly quieter than the P zeros; nice smooth ride. Will post updates.THANKS againt to RickyJay and Sean from Continental. rears fronts rear front
