That all depends on which Continental tires you're talking about. My Limited Roadster is shod with the ContiSportContact 2 which tirerack.com shows as a Max Performance Summer tire, same as the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

Several weeks ago when a bunch of us SoCal Crossfire owners got together there was an SRT6 with original ContiProContact tires on it, and those are all season tires.

Just an FYI
