Continental CrossContact LX Sport Crossover & SUV Tire in 275/45R21

Don't know what everyone is complaining about. I have met numerous Santa Fe owners ('13>'15) who all praise the car and these optional tires on the AWD Sport Turbo. Driven in some horrible snow storms, some with blizzard conditions and never had any problems. Ice? Scarey no matter what you drive with whatever tire. These held their own. Wet Traction has been great in some heavy rain storms here in the Northeast. Hydroplaning Resistance? No Such thing as a great tire when doing this. Cornering Stability? Hey, it's a Crossover not a sports car, but it does handle pretty good. Give credit to Hyundai for a great suspension too. Dry Traction is everything you could want. The Santa Fe has 3 different steering settings and these tires respond well to them all.

Highly recommend rotating them every 5>6,000 miles with your Oil Change. At 27,000 miles, Tire Dealer says they are good for another 25,000 miles. Going to have an All-Wheel alignment and All wheels balanced to make sure. Getting noisier as they wear, but that's typical of any tire. Tire Pressure makes a big difference in Ride comfrort. Will replace them with the same tire.

The tires were a replacement for the OE tires (same). Old tire mileage was 18000 miles. Tires are overall satisfactory. Did not experience any snow driving. Wet diving was very good, noise was ok, but not the best.

Ford chose to make these the OEM all season tire for the Edge ST's 21" wheels, and it was a good choice on their part. These tires have no issues gripping on ice or snow, and they give almost the steering feedback and predictability when on the edge of grip as the other OEM option, the summer-only PZERO. That being said, tread life was pretty poor, I'm scheduling replacement at 30,000 miles. Despite the poor treadlife, I'll almost certainly be re-purchasing these as the all season performance is good enough to make up for the short life.

These were OEM on my 2020 ST. They have the Contisilent feature. Had one puncture - easily repaired at NTB. For those who believe that these are non-repairable, there is a video by Continental that guides any shop through the simple process.

Too many people are bad mouthing this tire. Many just do not know that OEM tires are not the same as those bought at commercial stores. OEM tires have no treadwear warranty. I have 5-6/32" left on all tires, which I consider very good, considering they have been carrying a 4300lb suv.

Snow traction is acceptable for this size. Those that complained should look at the size they are using before passing judgement.

I am purchasing another set soon.

OEM tyres on my wife's 2016 Honda Pilot Touring, first time running Continental and have been very impressed. 48,000 miles of day to day driving in and around Houston, plus long road trips in Texas and to Wyoming, Idaho, Chicago, and Florida. Was very impressed by snow and ice capability for a non-snow tyre during snow/ice storm when we were in Colorado last year. Wet stability and traction is great during monsoon like rains we get in SE Texas. Dry traction is also great - though my lead foot can really chirp them off the line. For a big box, the Pilot can be really hustled along well, but the electric power steering loses a lot of the feel so its hard to really grade for outright steering response - they're H rated comfort tyres, not the telepathic W rated Kumho's I have on my G35 6MT. Very impressed with these CrossContact Sport's, only replacing 2 of them at the moment because of punctures, otherwise could get easily another 8000 miles out of them.

For the last 30,000 miles I have had Goodyear TripleTred tires. They had a very stiff side wall, very loud but provided great grip. I turned to Continental for my next tire because I wanted to try something new and the higher load rating along with the higher speed rating (even though I will never go 130 mph) leaves me with a little bit more confidence when driving/cornering quickly. The tire feels completely different from the TripleTreds I was using. They are much quieter, ride much better and provide much better grip in the rain/dry. I haven't tested them in the snow/ice yet so I can't report. They do have a softer side wall and as result steering response is down just a bit but still gives plenty of confidence. The Honda Element has one of the hardest stock suspension set-ups I have experienced but these tires are a perfect match because they soften out bumps while providing unbelievable grip and great steering feel. They only cost $116 each and for that price I don't understand why someone would buy the Michelin LTX for over $170. The money you save with the CrossContact LX Sport will make up for the reduced tire wear and in my opinion the CrossContact LX Sport is a tire for people who like driving while the Michelin LTX is a tire for driving people to work and to the store.

These tires came stock on my wife's Acura MDX and thus far they are impressing me greatly. Considering these are not UHP tires, the cornering grip is excellent and nearing grip levels of the UHP tires on some of my performance cars. I found this out accidentally since the MDX hides its speed very well and sometimes I find myself going into a corner a little hot. They are also very comfortable tires. I don't hear much road noise out of them nor do they squeal or complain when you start pushing them. These tires match the car well and I am more than willing to spend the extra money on another set of Conti's for this car vs. finding something a little cheaper.

I have this tire as OE for my 2013 Range Rover delievered early this year. Normally driving on highway, it is quiet and comfortable, I had Michelins on my older Range Rover which I believe has better quality but, can not directly compare because this is a totally new car. Overall, satisfactory but not great. OE tire is OE Tire. Too bad there is no other choice in my size.Maybe by the time these need replacement, there will be more choices.

Overall, I am pleased with the Continental CrossContact LX Sport on my 2016 Honda Pilot. I have driven 68k miles over 3.5 years on the first set of tires. I'm starting my research process for my second set of tires. I will definitely consider getting another set of these tires but I am open minded to other options. Key factors for my decision process will be longevity, performance & cost.

As I started my research for the second set of tire, I was very surprised to see several negative reviews about these tires. I was especially surprised to see feedback about having issues with relatively low miles. That said, the type of driving widely varies between drivers so there are different variables involved. My daily commute is 30 miles to downtown Chicago mostly on the highway. I would say I am more of an aggressive driver than passive and demand a lot out of my vehicle. My Pilot with these tires has responded to my driving habits. I don't even think about the tires while driving which a compliment to the extremely smooth and quiet ride.

The one area of improvement for these tires would be performance in deep snow. I have a Jeep Wrangler so the bar is high for what I want from a vehicle traction in deep snow. I would say the tires were noticeably better in the snow in the early life of the tire <20k than they are now with 68k miles on them.

I am happy with the performance of the Continental CrossContact LX Sport and would recommend these.

I don't have many miles on these tires yet but I love them so far. I got about 42k out of my Pirelli Scorpion AS+ until they were down to the wear bars. Those were great but they had gotten awfully noisy. These Continentals are so quiet and comfortable by comparison. I'm not sure if the Pirellis were ever this nice riding. I think the Pirellis probably handled a bit better, but in an ML350 handling isn't a big priority. If I can eek 40k out of these Continentals I would buy them again. Reviews are mixed, so fingers crossed I can make them last that long.

Not a bad tire but pretty pricey and tread ware AWFUL. Paid close to $350/tire and exactly one year and 11,000 miles later during inspection am told that the fronts are at 3/32 and 4/32 barely able to pass state inspection. Then I'm told there's no tread ware warranty. Sorry sir, you'll need to purchase new ones soon. Not my idea of fun having to purchase new tires annually. Called Continental directly and at least they offered my a 50% credit towards any new (4 ) Continental tires when I'm ready.

Decent tires in most categories, but treadwear is horrible. 2/32 after one season Apr-Sep. Usually get 3 seasons from tires.

This is the second time I got burned by Continental tires, these were OE on a Jeep Renegade, barely made 20000 miles. Tread wear is so bad these tires should not be manufactured, a waste of resources. Shame on Jeep for using them, I will never buy a vehicle equipped with Continentals again. Any tire is better, previously I had replaced OE Continentals (on a Pontiac) at around 18000 miles with Yokohamas, which lasted over 60000 miles. I thought the Pontiac OE tires were a fluke, not so, Continental tires appear to be NG, At least I did not have the blowouts others have experienced, stay away from this brand
