Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Slight off-road traction
• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 is a touring and high performance, all season tire made for SUVs. It also has some commercial van, highway terrain sizes available.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The all weather tire compound and the symmetric tread design, with the optimized tread block placement, enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread design and the compound maintain their flexible traction in various temperatures. The tire's optimal circumferential and lateral groove placement increases the wet and winter weather grip and actively channel water and slush from the footprint to resist hydroplaning. The enhanced traction and excellent hydroplaning prevention guarantee a safer driving experience.

The model is capable of performing on slight off-road conditions. Gravel roads cause no issue for these tires. The rigid tread design finds firm grip on such road conditions, allowing the driver to safely control the vehicle. The model's light off-road capability improves its versatile usage and durability.

The tread design closely follows the road surface. Its center rib keeps the tire's road contact at all times. In this manner, the tire ensures better controllability. In other words, it boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The rigid center and shoulder tread elements increase the biting edges and create friction at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the braking distance. The enhanced controllability and upgraded braking capability enable the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all weather conditions.

The ContiCrossContact LX 2 guarantees a longer lasting tread life. The tread design's optimal footprint improves the tire's road contact, which manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively resists the formation of irregular tread wear, which lengthens the tread life and the tire's usability. The extended service life makes the tire more cost efficient as it can be used for a lengthened period of time.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
