Very good tire perfect for my Veloster turbo

These are a very good tire. I put them on my GTI and they are the equivalent to the Pilot Super Sport. They ride, grip, and handle well.

I mounted these on my 2011 Volkswagen GTI stage 3 and have about 3,000 miles on them to date. I have been driving on the predecessor Continental extremecontact DW for the last 5 years. When they discontinued that tire and introduced the extreme contact sport naturally I was excited!Pros:1. Excellent grip all around, especially in the corners. They added a 2 inch solid tire contact patch on from the outside of the tire inward.2. Cornering is more responsive than the predecessor.3. Road noise and rolling resistance has been reduced.4. The look from the outside of the car is great the tire has a beefy sticky look to it. Cons:1. Because of the increased shoulder tread depth and the sidewall rigidity the ride is a bit stiffer under normal PSI between 32 and 36.

These tires are amazing in the corners. They are sticky, which is great for the twisties, but not great for gravel near the shoulders. Gravel sticks to them a lot more than the less aggressive tires. They do allow you to brake a lot later and go into a curve with a lot more confidence and no ‘singing’ like harder compound tires. I hope these last a long time, but when they do wear out, I’ll buy them again.
