ExtremeContact Sport 02 – A dynamic UHP summer tire for sports cars and performance sedans. It features Continental’s SportPlus™ Technology to deliver responsive handling, better grip on wet roads, and extended tread life. In fact, the ExtremeContact Sport 02 is designed for both street and occasional track use, with Continental even providing “tuned performance indicators” (tread symbols “D” and “W” that disappear as the tire wears) to alert drivers when dry or wet traction is no longer optimal. This tire comes with a 50,000km warranty – notable in the max performance segment. Real world tests show it offers superior wet and dry handling and excellent braking, while still achieving track capable performance. It’s often compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, with one test noting the Pilot Sport 4S had slightly more refined ride and steering feel, but the previous gen ExtremeContact Sport actually edged out the Michelin in objective wet braking and skidpad grip. In other words, Continental has “stepped up their Max Performance summer game” to challenge Michelin. Enthusiasts often find the Sport 02 a compelling value – delivering nearly the same “crazy good” wet and dry grip as Michelin’s best, but at a lower price.

SportContact 7 – Continental’s flagship maximum performance summer tire. It uses an adaptive asymmetrical tread design and Continental’s latest Black Chili™ compound to excel in both dry and wet. The tread pattern actually adapts under cornering load to enlarge the contact patch, enhancing grip and stability. This technology helped the SportContact 7 dominate recent comparison tests. Auto Bild Sportscars named it a test winner, praising its top marks in wet handling, cornering, and braking. This tire targets the same class as Michelin’s Pilot Sport Cup 2 or the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, but with better all round usability. Testers noted it provides precise steering with stable, well balanced handling even in heavy rain, making it a road friendly performance tire that doesn’t sacrifice safety. If you drive a high powered car, even an EV, and want the very latest in grip technology, the SportContact 7 is Continental’s answer.

ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus – A UHP all season tire for those who need year round performance, including light snow capability. “DWS” stands for Dry, Wet, Snow, and this tire is designed to deliver on all three. It also carries SportPlus™ Technology, similar to the summer Sport 02, to ensure precise handling on dry roads, confident wet grip, and improved tread life. The DWS 06 Plus is the updated version of the highly regarded DWS 06, tuned for even better snow traction and refinement. It features Continental’s clever Tuned Performance Indicators – the letters “D”, “W”, and “S” are molded into the tread blocks and disappear as the tire’s capability in each condition fades. In independent testing, the DWS 06 Plus is extremely competitive with other top all season UHP tires. The trade off is that Michelin’s compound might feel a touch sportier in hard cornering, whereas the Continental DWS 06 Plus tends to have an edge in wet traction and light snow traction, aligning with its DWS mission.

ExtremeContact Force – A niche entry, this is a 200 treadwear competition tire co-developed with Hoosier, aimed at weekend racers and track enthusiasts. Available through select channels, the ExtremeContact Force provides track proven performance with a stylish design. It sacrifices some ride comfort and wet grip for maximum dry traction and heat tolerance. This tire directly targets the likes of the BFGoodrich g-Force Rival and Yokohama Advan A052. If you’re an autocrosser or track day regular, the ExtremeContact Force offers an intriguing blend: it’s street legal, but its heart is pure racing.

A standard all season touring tire known for exceptional tread life and a balanced performance profile. It carries a 130,000km warranty on T & H rated sizes and is tuned for reliable traction in dry, wet, and light snow conditions. The TrueContact Tour features Continental’s EcoPlus™ Technology, a proprietary compound and tread design package that saves fuel, shortens wet braking distances, and extends tread life. In head to head comparisons against Michelin’s Defender2, the TrueContact Tour showed stronger snow and ice traction while maintaining similar warranty coverage.

A luxury sport all season touring tire for drivers who want a bit more performance feel. The PureContact LS is tuned for responsive handling and stronger grip on wet roads, making it a step sportier than the TrueContact. It still features EcoPlus Technology for efficiency and long wear, but it targets drivers of luxury sedans and sporty coupes who seek a quiet, refined ride and good steering precision.

A crossover/SUV touring all season tire designed for modern SUVs and crossover vehicles. It’s essentially the SUV counterpart to the TrueContact and PureContact, engineered for higher load capacities and the unique demands of crossovers. The CrossContact LX25 also uses EcoPlus Technology and boasts a 110,000km warranty. Its focus is on smooth, quiet ride and year round traction.

These are Original Equipment touring tires often found on new cars from brands like Audi and Tesla. For example, ProContact RX and ProContact TX are luxury all season touring tires Continental supplies to manufacturers. They prioritize low rolling resistance, ride comfort, and low noise to meet strict automaker requirements. If you’re replacing an OE Continental, you can either stay with the ProContact or consider upgrading to a TrueContact or PureContact for longer life and improved wet traction.

An all terrain tire engineered for pickups, Jeeps, and SUVs that see mixed use. Continental calls it a premium all season all terrain tire, highlighting that it truly can be used year round with the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol. The TerrainContact A/T is designed to be quieter and more fuel efficient on road than traditional aggressive A/T tires, while still delivering strong off road grip through traction ridges, sidewall lugs, and a cut resistant compound. It also carries a 100,000km treadwear warranty, which is rare among all terrains.

A highway terrain all season tire for light trucks and full size SUVs. Think of this as Continental’s answer to the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza. The TerrainContact H/T is tuned for long tread life, excellent wet braking, and a quiet highway ride. It features interlocking tread blocks and solid ribs for towing stability, while wide grooves and siping help manage rain and light snow.

Continental previously offered the CrossContact ATR as a slightly more aggressive all terrain, and the CrossContact LX20 as an earlier SUV touring tire. These are largely superseded by the TerrainContact line, but you may still encounter them on certain vehicles or in certain sizes.

These are studless ice & snow tires designed for maximum grip on ice, packed snow, and slush. The VikingContact series uses PolarPlus™ Technology, a compound that stays flexible in sub zero temperatures to maintain grip, with added +Silane additives for wet ice traction. The tread design gives the VikingContact exceptional stopping power on wintry surfaces. The newer VikingContact 8 builds on the same formula with claimed improvements in snow handling and mileage.

These are performance winter tires targeted at sports cars, performance sedans, and high powered SUVs. They prioritize a combination of winter traction and high speed capability with precise handling on cold dry roads. The TS 860 S and TS 870 P use advanced winter compounds and asymmetric tread patterns to deliver strong safety reserves in wet, snow, and cold dry conditions.

In North America, Continental used to offer the WinterContact SI as a studless winter tire. The VikingContact has effectively superseded it, but you might still see WinterContact SI on some retailer shelves. Continental also makes studded winter tires in some markets, though these are region specific.

An all season tire for cargo vans and light trucks, developed for fleets and commercial duty. It’s engineered to handle the high loads associated with vans and commercial work while providing strong wet traction, reasonable winter ability, and long tread life.

VanContact A/S Ultra is Continental’s latest all weather touring tire for cargo vans. It adds 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, improved mileage, robust durability, and lower rolling resistance. It also features tread wear indicators molded as numbers in the tread to help fleet users visually monitor remaining usable depth.

VancoFourSeason is an older design all season van tire that was well regarded for great mileage and solid all year traction. It is gradually being replaced by the VanContact line, particularly the VanContact A/S Ultra.

While covered under Off Road above, it’s worth noting that the TerrainContact H/T is also made in heavier LT sizes and is designed to serve commercial pickup and van users too. In LT sizes it has a strong construction and suits operators who want a quiet ride plus long life instead of a more aggressive truck tread.
