Continental Tire’s lineup puts science to work on the road
From comfort and control to all-season capability, Continental’s lineup checks every box—making it the Smart Choice for confident driving year-round.
Most drivers don’t think twice about their tires—until they hit a sharp curve in the rain, an unexpected patch of ice, or the end of a long road trip. But behind every smooth stop and confident lane change, a surprising amount of science and engineering goes into keeping you and your passengers safe and comfortable. With their latest lineup of ultra-high-performance and touring tires, Continental Tire is betting that thoughtful design features—from tread patterns to wear indicators—can make driving safer, smoother, and maybe even more satisfying.
TrueContact Tour54
Everyday performance for everyday drivers
Presented by
For the majority of drivers, performance isn’t just about grip and handling—it’s also about comfort and longevity. Continental Tire’s TrueContact Tour54 line is purpose-built for everyday commuters, families, and roadtrippers alike. Designed for passenger and crossover vehicles, TrueContact Tour54 tires are engineered to deliver excellent tread life—up to 80,000 miles—plus improved wet braking and a smooth, low-noise ride. The design considerations don’t stop there—this all-season tire also features EcoPlus+ Technology, a compound and tread design that aims to balance fuel efficiency, long wear, and great traction year-round, including in light snow. Continental even includes visual wear indicators molded directly into the tread, letting you track when your tires are no longer performing optimally in wet or snowy conditions. For most drivers, this tire is a smart, quiet, and reliable pick that can easily disappear into your daily routine until you need it the most.
ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus
All-season traction with a performance edge
For drivers of specialized vehicles who need year-round performance in rain, sun, or light snow, the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus line strikes a great balance between grip, comfort, and overall durability. Built for sports sedans, performance coupes, and high-end crossovers, this tire is engineered to handle spirited driving on dry pavement while maintaining reliable traction in unpredictable weather conditions. “DWS” stands for Dry, Wet, and Snow—and the name says it all.
At the core of this line is Continental’s SportPlus™ tech, which enhances handling response, wet grip, and tread life through a combination of tread design features and the company’s proprietary compound engineering. A quick look at the tread pattern shows three wide circumferential grooves for efficient water evacuation, along with angled notches along each edge to help maintain grip in wet and snowy conditions. Like its touring sibling, the DWS06 Plus also features tuned performance indicators molded directly into the tread—with D, W, and S corresponding to each level of performance—giving you a visual cue as to when the tire’s performance in each condition may be diminishing.
ExtremeContact Sport02
Summer tires without compromise
If the DWS06 Plus is all about adaptability, the ExtremeContact Sport02 is all about precision. Built for drivers who need grip, responsiveness, and tight cornering, this is Continental’s maximum-performance summer tire: one designed for dry pavement, high speeds, and high control. It’s primarily engineered for sports vehicles—think BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Mazda—and its design brings racetrack-style handling to everyday driving.
The ExtremeContact Sport02 features a unique asymmetric tread pattern, which helps to balance traction across a variety of conditions. While summer tires generally don’t prioritize wet weather, the design of this line still includes strategically-placed circumferential channels to help manage water and maintain traction during rain. As with Continental’s other premium offerings, SportPlus™ Technology is front-and-center here, offering enhanced steering response and good durability without sacrificing drivability.
Whether you’re navigating icy commutes, sailing around corners, or just looking for a smoother daily drive, Continental’s lineup has something for everyone. The TrueContact Tour54 is built to be quiet and reliable for the long-haul, making it ideal for drivers who want year-round peace of mind. The ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is a balanced choice between high performance and all-season versatility for sportier sedans and crossovers, especially in wet or unpredictable weather. And for those who drive to feel the road, the ExtremeContact Sport02 offers precision handling and maximum summer grip. Wherever you’re headed, Continental wants to get you there safely and with confidence.
