Ah, but there's more than one Conti "ExtremeContact"...

ExtremeContact DW: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...y.jsp?ttid=190
What We Liked: Impressive wet traction and comfortable road manners
What We'd Improve: More precise steering response and handling
Conclusion: A great choice for anyone wanting solid overall capability

ExtremeContact Sport: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...y.jsp?ttid=223
What We Liked: Responsive steering and very strong wet traction.
What We'd Improve: Road manners aren't as refined as the other tires in this test.
Conclusion: Continental has really stepped up their Max Performance Summer game with this one.
Sorry. I forget there is the new one. The DW is the comfy one. The poor steering response is a trade off for softer sidewall. It's not horrible though
