255/40ZR19 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 – EV Compatible Performance Summer

Category: Summer – Supreme Performance

The Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a supreme performance summer tire for passenger cars. Ideal for both the street and track, the summer-only tread compound in an asymmetric tread design provides responsive handling with better grip on wet roads. The ExtremeContact Sport 02 has excellent dry and wet braking and an exceptional balance of performance, low noise, and long tread life. It also has a 30,000 mile tread life warranty for all sizes.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 100 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 800 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating Y indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 300 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • UTQG 340 AA A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
  • Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
