Expert Verdict
The Extreme Contact Sport 02 is ideal for drivers seeking strong dry grip and handling in an ultra-high performance summer tire, backed by a rare 30,000-mile warranty. However, its wet grip performance is a notable downside, especially for those in rainy climates.
Pros
Dry grip score of 9 ensures excellent traction on hot pavement, making it a strong performer in the ultra-high performance summer category.
Handling score of 9 means precise steering response and cornering stability, ideal for spirited driving.
The 30,000-mile treadwear warranty is a solid assurance in a category where such guarantees are rare.
Cons
Wet grip performance is lacking, which may deter buyers in regions with frequent rain.
Wet grip score of 5 is below expectations for an ultra-high performance summer tire, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
Comfort score of 6 is modest, so expect a firmer ride compared to some competitors like the Yokohama ADVAN Sport.
The noise level is average at 6.5, which might be noticeable on longer drives compared to quieter options.
