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. The ExtremeContact Force is engineered to deliver maximum levels of grip and extremely consistent performance on-track, while still providing appropriate on-road performance and the expected durability for use on public streets. Like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, the ExtremeContact Force is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near-and-below-freezing temperature, through snow or on ice.

Utilizing the immense competition and racing heritage at Continental's disposal, their engineering and design teams developed the ExtremeContact Force's endurance-focused tread compound to deliver consistent and predictable handling and grip levels from the first lap until 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 are included to help drivers monitor performance, wear quality and project 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 of the ExtremeContact Force 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.

Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels, or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Extreme Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. While compound cracking is not a warrantable condition because it occurs as the result of improper use or storage, tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.
