Continental ExtremeContact

The
ExtremeContact DW (DW for Dry & Wet) is Continental Tire's
Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of
sports cars, sports coupes and performance sedans. The
ExtremeContact DW is designed to deliver good ride quality
and serious performance on both dry and wet roads. Like all
summer tires, the ExtremeContact DW is not intended to be
driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on
ice.
ExtremeContact DW tires feature an asymmetric design with
chamfered tread blocks and a continuous, outboard notched
intermediate rib to enhance responsiveness and cornering
stability. Continuous center ribs reduce noise and provide
constant rubber-to-road contact to control the longitudinal
forces experienced when braking. A high void-to-tread ratio
with open outboard lateral grooves, wide circumferential
tread grooves and notched shoulder blocks on the inboard
intermediate rib and shoulder help disperse water to enhance
hydroplaning resistance and wet weather traction.
The ExtremeContact DW features Tuned Performance Indicators
- visible letters molded into the second rib from the
outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's performance
levels. A visible "DW" indicates the tire has sufficient
tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions and after
the "W" has worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire
has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts that
are reinforced with spirally wound jointless nylon cap plies
to provide long-term integrity under high speed conditions
while reducing weight and helping to provide more uniform
ride quality. |
