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.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 100 means each tire can carry up to 800 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 340 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
Where this tire fits in
The 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is a summer / summer – supreme performance tire, built around a 285 mm section width for a 17-inch wheel.
In practical terms, this size gives you a 40-series sidewall of about 114 mm paired with a 17-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.
Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries load index 100 and speed rating W (~270 km/h), UTQG 340 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.
About the 285/40R17 tire size
The 285/40R17 breaks down into three numbers:
285 — tread width in millimetres, measured across the contact patch
40 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 114 mm of rubber between road and rim)
R17 — radial construction, for a 17-inch wheel
The 285/40R17 size is commonly found on light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

Common questions — 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 Summer
What does the 285/40R17 tire size mean?
Break it down and 285/40R17 tells you three things: the tread is 285 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 114 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 17-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers.
Is the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 a Summer tire?
Yes — the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is categorized as a Summer tire.
What does the 100W rating mean on the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02?
The 100W on the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 breaks into two numbers: load index 100, meaning each tire carries up to 800 kg, rated to approximately 270 km/h; and speed rating W, rated to 270 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 3PMS rated?
No — the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.

Does the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 support run flat driving?

Is the 285/40R17 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 an XL (extra load) tire?
