it's a max performance summer tire, and the replacement for the old ExtremeContact DW. North America-only,
The new ExtremeContact Sport has a 30k warranty (the DW had no treadwear warranty). The UTQG rating is 340-AA-A. It is available in more sizes than the DW was. And it still has those DW wear indicators in the tread
According to another poster on here, this is the cheap max performance tire designed to compete with the cheap brands and not quite as good as the ContiSportContact line, or Michelin's Pilot Super Sport series. The ExtremeContact line is North America-only, and the new EC Sport is no exception.
I think they should've branded it as a General (Conti's mid-tier US-market tire brand), and then that way Conti could actually sell us the ContiSportContact series under their own name. What are your thoughts?
