Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 Challenges Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has long been regarded as the standard for high-performance summer tires. They offer very good performance on the track and work well on the street. Not to be outdone, Continental recently developed the ExtremeContact Sport 02 series and set the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in its sights. So which one is better? That's what Tyre Reviews decided to find out. 

The two biggest knocks on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are its price and age. Michelin introduced the Pilot Sport 4S more than eight years ago, which is an eternity for tire technology. It's also one of the most expensive performance tires, costing more than $1,700 for a set of four. Knowing this, Michelin also introduced the Pilot Sport S 5 this year, which is not a direct replacement but an evolution designed for today's high-performance hybrid and electric vehicles. But before you dismiss the Pilot Sport 4S as old and overpriced, know that it still wins every comparison test, and if it doesn't, it's in the top three. 

Right off the bat, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is cheaper by about $200 a set. However, while that price difference is significant, the performance difference between the old ExtremeContact Sport and the Pilot Sport 4S was always minimal. In fact, the only real advantage the Pilot Sport 4S had in its favor was a better feel and steering response, two things Continental says it improved with the new ExtremeContact Sport 02.

Anyway,if your Car is enough Powerful,using Run Flat Tyres,also can win in ''pick up'' with many B&B Cars...Like last time,a Reservist went for his IPPT,he forgotten to bring his PE Shoes,but was wearing a pair of Dr Martin Shoes,the PTI told him he cannot run the 2.4km,he told the PTI no problem,the PTI told him,if he insist running without Running Shoes,if he fail,he will get charged,end up he ran below 9 mins,he even told the PTI want to run with him now.?..the PTI was shock.!

recently, i jus changed to Conti UC6 SUV, must say is quite good.

noise level also not that high probably due to new rubber... wet grip is also good...

no regrets
