There's all the Continental "Sporty" tires I see they advertise;ContiSportContact 5,ContiSportContact 5 P,SportContact 6,MaxContact MC5 ,MC6 and UltraContact UC6 .The site/adverts says they're all very good for high performance and all that but never give specific details.What are their performance ranges for the models said previously?Even for the track tires Extremecontact and Contiforcecontact what are the differences.Thank you.

MC5 and UC6 are not high performance tires despite the name. MC5 is more like mid range/entry level performance while UC6 is low end model just above the CC6. MC6 maybe or at least claims to be but still below the CSC series. The true high performance tires are CSC series, Extreme Contact Sport (ECS) and Conti Force Contact (CFC). ECS though is not really extreme category like Yokohama AD08R but still more like top of the line UHP, similar level to CSC6 but unlike CSC6, ECS is available in 18'. CFC is supposed to be more towards extreme category but this one maybe already discontinued if not mistaken.
So if you're interested in high performance tires then get either the CSC5/6 or ECS.
