Key Features
-
Outstanding wet & dry performance
Specialized summer-only +Silane tread compound and a ribbed asymmetric tread design deliver powerful grip, precise braking and confident handling in both dry and wet conditions.
-
SportPlus Technology
Continental’s SportPlus Technology enhances steering precision, wet traction and tread life, giving you more miles of confident, spirited driving.
-
High-speed cornering stability
Wide shoulder tread blocks provide strong lateral grip and stability at speed, while a continuous center rib maintains constant rubber-to-road contact for a solid, on-center feel.
-
Longer tread life
A wide, optimized contact patch distributes pressure evenly across the tread surface, helping to reduce irregular wear and extend tire life.
-
Confident wet traction & hydroplaning resistance
Deep circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch to help resist hydroplaning and maintain grip in the rain.
-
Track-ready internal construction
A two-ply polyester casing, two high-strength steel belts and a polyamide reinforcement ply work together for outstanding high-speed stability, durability and performance.
-
Tuned performance indicators
Built-in “D” (dry) and “W” (wet) indicators on the tread show you when the tire is no longer tuned for optimum performance in those conditions, helping you know when it’s time to replace.
Important Usage Note
Like all summer tires, the Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport 02 is designed for warm-weather use only. It should not be used, stored or serviced in near-freezing or below-freezing temperatures, and it is not suitable for driving on snow or ice.
If the design or size you are looking for is not available, we are pleased to offer you the option to create a custom order.
This allows you to tailor your wheels to your specific preferences and needs. We also provide a wide range of color options to ensure that your wheels perfectly match your vision.

What is the difference between a forged rim and a flow-formed rim?
The main difference between forged and flow-formed rims lies in their manufacturing processes and materials. Forged rims, made from 6061-T6 aluminum, are formed under extreme pressure and then precisely machined using CNC technology, resulting in ultra-strong, lightweight wheels ideal for high performance. Flow-formed rims, also known as spin-formed, start with a cast mold and are shaped using hydraulic pressure and rotation. This enhances the strength of cast rims while maintaining a more affordable price point, offering a solid balance of performance and cost.
Where do you make the wheels?
The factory where we manufacture the rims is in China, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and rigorous safety and quality control processes. You can see the detailed production process in our video here.
Do you ship outside of the United States?
Yes, we ship worldwide. However, purchasing a rim in stock can be expensive due to shipping costs. Therefore, we recommend placing a custom order where items are shipped directly from the factory to reduce costs. In this way you will get the same price worldwide, because the rims will be delivered from the factory.
What Tire Sizes Do You Recommend for Installing Your Rims?
We recommend sticking with OEM sizes for the best performance and fit. However, there is often some room for alternatives based on your specific needs and preferences. We’re happy to help with any questions and guide you in choosing the best tire size for your setup.
What Are Your Cancellation Policies if I Want a Refund on My Pre-Order?
If you’ve made a pre-order payment, you can cancel your order and request a refund at any time before the shipment is processed.
How Long Does It Take to Receive an Order After Making a Purchase?
We usually ship orders within 1 business day using UPS Ground. Delivery typically takes 2-5 business days after shipment. Please note that tire sets may take up to 10 days to assemble before shipping in some cases.
Can I Pick Up the Rims Directly if I’m Near Your Location?
Yes, you can pick up the rims directly if you’re near our location. Please note that Texas sales tax will be applied to in-state sales.
Are Your Center Caps Compatible with the OEM Ones?
Most of our center caps are 65mm, so they are not compatible with the OEM center caps.
