Continental ECS02 Discontinued?

[BananaBoi]

I ordered wheels a couple months ago and just got the shipping notification. Went to place the tire order and found this. Anyone know anything about this? Looks like it is still available on tirerack but not through americas tire.

My shop confirmed their supplier lists the Sport 02's as discontinued. Not sure if Continental has something else in the pipe to replace them, tirerack's sales didn't have a clue.

Strange. Here in Europe, the SportContact 7 is still available, which is essentially the equivalent of the ECS 02

They are saying it was a listing error and they are not discontinuing them.

There's an update on the 275/35/19 tire. The new manufacturer/article number is 03173720000. Tire Rack has them in stock now, but I'm not sure when Discount Tire will.

I wouldn't take a response from Gemini as the truth, especially considering it's not citing Continental as a source.

I verified availability directly from tire rack before posting. Just trying to help the guy out. Did you check inventory? Give it a few days and check back with your supplier.

It's a safe bet that if Continental did obsolete a high performance summer tire that it would only be because they are replacing it with a newer one.

Americas Tire is my go to so was a little surprised to see that. Ended up ordering from tire rack with America’s tire as the installer.

Also learned that Americas Tire bought Tire Rack lmao

Americas Tire

I was thinking Discount Tire did, but it seems they are the same company, just different names depending where you are in the country.

I'm a Tire Rack fan since I live ~ a mile from a warehouse and get $50 off an order to come pick them up.
