Continental Extreme Contact DW Tires - 95% tread left

M.Bonanni · 06-08-2012, 03:45 PM

Used for less than 1000 miles. I got these brand new for a magazine shootout where everyone had to run the same tire. They have made 1 round trip from Vegas to Phoenix (~630 highway miles), 5 autocross runs, ~20 minutes of road course use, and 5 drag racing runs (no burnouts). Took them off when I got back home to put my regular track tires back on. All track time was done with proper camber settings so the very small amount of wear they did receive was even across the tire. These are virtually brand new.

Make: Continental Tire
Model: Extreme Contact DW
Treadwear: 340
Sizes: 275/35/18 front, 285/35/18 rear

These are the stickiest non-race tire that Continental makes at the moment. They are a great street tire, will last a while, and give good feedback on the track. They perform more like a 200 treadwear tire than a 340 treadwear which I was pleasantly surprised by. This is a great tire for daily driving use and an EXCELLENT tire for someone learning to drive on a track.

Brand new from TireRack.com these run $900+shipping. My price is $500 shipped (AK, HI, Canada extra). Ready to ship ASAP.

THESE ARE FOR 18" RIMS!!!

Bump for good tires. I had DW Extremes on my 350z. Loved them.

I'm pretty sure I hate you now. Just bought a set less than two months ago.

Even though the tread pattern doesn't look aggressive at all, these are great tires, like Mike said, very sticky. Great tread wear rating too.

They will be too wide. Recommended rim widths would be 9.5" front and 10" rear.

Thanks for the input!

18x9.5" front and 18x10" rear. I don't remember the offsets unfortunately, but they were standard offsets from Forgestar, who made the wheels they were on.

The 275's will fit on the stock 18" rears, but the 285's are too wide. I would have picked them up if they did fit, but good luck with the sale
