Continental ExtremeContact Force Reviews

Reviews highlight excellence in dry traction with strong grip and consistent lap times during track days, HPDE events, and canyon driving. Users praise predictable breakaway characteristics and heat tolerance across multiple sessions. Wet performance earns praise for damp-track confidence, though some note hydroplaning risks in heavy rain. Treadwear stands out as a strength, with many reporting 8-10 track days plus street miles remaining, though proper camber setup is critical to prevent shoulder wear. While not the fastest 200TW option for single-lap pace, drivers value the tire's endurance focus-maintaining performance through heat cycles without drastic drop-off. Ideal for those prioritizing longevity and session-to-session consistency over peak grip.

...I've done a handful of track days in the rain and they have been absolutely phenomenal. I know a lot of guys using them as a dedicated rain tire.

Awesome track tire that's consistent lap after lap and session after session. I can't compare it to any other 200tw tire as these are my first time using a 200tw. I've done a handful of track days in the rain and they have been absolutely phenomenal. I know a lot of guys using them as a dedicated rain tire.

...They offer great traction, very good steering response (they only come in relatively low profile anyway) and good predictability for hard cornering...

I use my Hyundai with these tires for track season, so mostly on good, warm, sunny days. They are great for aggressive driving in warm weather on the track or street, provided there are no potholes. They offer great traction, very good steering response (they only come in relatively low profile anyway) and good predictability for hard cornering. Not the best for cold or wet weather. I replaced Hankook RS4 tires with these and they are both very similar. Overall I'm very happy with them for track and good weather use, but pick some other Continentals for all weather daily driver.

...So far have lasted twice as long as my fast sticky tires of choice and still have life in them...

For driving my heavy car on track for HPDE/open lapping I have come to really appreciate these tires. Not the fastest tire out there in this segment, but fast enough and incredibly consistent. Holds up to temperature extremely well and doesn’t overheat prematurely. Very confidence inspiring and predictable. So far have lasted twice as long as my fast sticky tires of choice and still have life in them. These will be a go to option for me.

...I have put 3100 miles on my set and they show minimal / reasonable wear...

Very good high-performance tires for your weekend car. I have put 3100 miles on my set and they show minimal / reasonable wear. My car is 2500lbs, 600hp / 585tq - and these tires keep it glued to the road. In fact, unless it's wet, it is difficult to break these tires loose! Overall I would strongly recommend these tires.

Great track tires, tread wear is excellent, 10 track days so far and still have a lot of tread left. They get a little greasy in warm conditions, but stick really well in the first couple sessions or cool-warm days. Highly recommend
