Description
Continental's CrossContact LX Sport is an all-season tire specifically designed for SUV, light truck and crossover drivers who want year-round comfort, even in light snow. Used as original equipment on various vehicles, the LX Sport is also available as a replacement model in a wide variety of sizes.
- Offers exceptional handling for safe operation
- The CrossContact LX Sport provides outstanding braking performance on wet and dry roads
- Designed to reduce noise and roll resistance while improving ride comfort
Its serrated outer shoulder is supported by a circular rib that improves ride comfort, steering response and road stability. Siped center tread blocks and independent inner shoulder blocks improve all-season traction and braking.
The asymmetric silica-based tread compound enhances the tire's ability to gain and maintain traction in wet and dry conditions.
In light snow, the addition of silica, along with the tread sipes, once again shows its strength, as drivers will be able to maintain a smooth ride without losing traction.
The internal structure of the CrossContact LX Sport includes twin steel belts that provide strength to the tire and a polyester cord body that helps smooth the ride.
While the CrossContact LX Sport tires are versatile in all seasons, including traction in light snow, the extremely wide tread can limit the traction this type of tire can provide in snow.
