The ContiExtremeContact derives the excellent wet grip and resistance to hydroplaning from the same design as that of a shark fin. The shark fin design allows for enhanced water evacuation and water flow faster out through the tread grooves. The full-silica compound along with all-season Ultra High Performance tread pattern, allow the ContiExtremeContact to satisfy the most demanding auto enthusiasts all year round. The stability, wet & dry grip as well as snow & ice grip characteristics of the ContiExtremeContact are developed from the Tri-Net spider's web. The solution was a tread compound with three networks matched to the performance demands.
