Quick, consistent, durable. When it comes to motorsports tires, you can’t have all three.
One-lap-wonder qualifying tires are great for delivering ultimate pace, but they struggle to do so for very long. Back off on the speed a little, and you’ll get more fast laps.
Need the tire to last all day? Doable, but only at a further reduced pace. …

Excellent! I look forward to burning off my set of RT660's and RS-4's on the last 2 track days in a couple weeks and getting the ContiHoosiers for next season's TT's. The immediate grip from cold is a major plus up here in the Pacific Northwest, especially for those early-season spring races.
"Further, we’re told that more sizes for the new tire are on the way for 2022, including a 245/40R15"
Nice!

Is it a given that the Falkens will not last with the other two tires in the test?
I re-read it and der the Falkens were already worn...
Anybody know when and if a 245 40 15 is gonna be available for the conti?
Any update on the 245 15s?
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
My source says possibly Q4.
For 2023 TrackDayTire.com and Continental have created a "Brand Ambassador Program" to help spread knowledge and awareness of the Extreme Contact Force tire. I was one of the lucky few to be selected!
As part of the program we have been asked to share a 'Buy 3 Get 1 Free' campaign to fellow enthusiasts. If you go to TrackDayTire.com and use the code RobertsVIP you can save 25% on a set of the Continental ECF's.
Enjoy!
Pretty happy with the Conti ECFs as a do-everything dual-duty tire so far, I've done the full set of GRM Challenge events plus another autocross with them now. Coming from my old PS4Ses I knocked an easy 2sec off my lap times at the FIRM with the ECFs (plus no chunking!).
Just looked at the Trackdaytire.com site
Geat selection
Need to do some math/specification comparison
No 255 / 45 x 18" available
Looks like a great resource
