How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Continental ExtremeContact Force is widely regarded as a highly durable, endurance-focused 200-treadwear tire that excels in consistency and longevity rather than outright peak grip. Users frequently praise its ability to withstand multiple heat cycles and long track sessions without falling off, making it an ideal choice for HPDE and endurance racing, though it is generally considered less competitive for dedicated autocross use.
Pros
- Exceptional longevity and resistance to heat cycling
- Consistent performance over long track sessions
- Surprisingly comfortable and quiet for a track-oriented tire
- Quick warm-up time compared to similar endurance tires
- Predictable handling characteristics at the limit
Cons
- Lack of peak grip compared to 'super 200tw' competitors
- Poor performance in heavy rain or standing water
- Soft sidewalls can feel vague or prone to rollover under heavy track loads
- Not recommended for competitive autocross due to lower initial bite
Worth knowing
- Heavy vehicles (3700lbs+) may experience more pronounced sidewall flex and potential chunking if alignment is not optimized.
- Users with lighter platforms (e.g., Miata, RX7) report excellent feedback and consistent wear, though some note the tire requires specific pressure tuning to avoid 'greasy' behavior when overheated.
