Continental CrossContact LX20 Tires
The Continental CrossContact LX20 is a touring, all season tire made for SUVs. Continental offers a 70,000 miles treadwear warranty with this model.
This model utilizes its non-directional tread pattern to provide a high number of biting edges, boosting its overall handling ability. The detailed tread elements are able to firmly grip the driving surface, enabling the tire to respond faster and more precisely to the driver’s instructions. It greatly enhances the overall maneuvering ability, as the tire’s cornering and braking ability is significantly improved. In this manner, the driver is able to control the vehicle with confidence all the time.
The durable compound materials work together with specially designed tread to promote a superb tread and service life. This tread is able to balance out load and driving pressure across the tread area in order to avoid irregular wear formations. The compound materials slow down the treadwear rate, preventing the formation of premature wear. The combination of these features greatly lengthens the model’s tread life and overall usability.
The tire also allows passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable performance thanks to its tread and shoulder design. The specially designed tread elements and open shoulders are able to channel airwaves throughout the footprint and prevent them from coming into contact with tread elements. The twin steel belt construction is able to keep the tire in shape and allow the tread to maintain a constant road contact and absorb vibrations before they reach the vehicle’s cabin. In other words, this enables the passengers to enjoy a noise- and vibration-free driving experience.
The ideal tread design and lighter compound work together to provide a fuel efficient performance. These tread elements are able to maintain a consistent road contact, which helps with reducing rolling resistance. In other words, the tire is able to maintain a constant forward motion using less energy. This guarantees a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The Continental CrossContact LX20 is able to perform excellently in various weather conditions thanks to its durable compound and ideal tread elements. The detailed tread elements promote a phenomenal traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered road surfaces, while the compound is optimized in various temperature conditions. It utilizes its circumferential and lateral grooves to eliminate water and slush from the footprint, preventing them from blocking road contact. This also effectively avoids the risk of hydroplaning in rainy and snowy conditions.
This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select vehicles.
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.
