Continental  CrossContact LX Sport

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.

AFTER HAVING SEVERAL MERCEDES SUV'S WITH DIFFERENT TIRE COMBINATIONS FROM CONTI 4x4, MICHELIN LATITUDE, PIRELLI TIRES THESE CONTI TIRES ARE THE BEST EVER - I JUST READ REVIEWS AND THEY ARE NOT STELLAR FOR SOME, BUT HAVING 37,500 MILES AND GOING THESE TIRES ARE EXCELLENT - I WILL BUY ANOTHER SET - I RECOMMEND THESE TIRES 100% - WET TRACTION IS AMAZING - VERY CONFIDENT INSPIRING - I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT DRIVING INTHE RAIN - NEVER HAD A MOMENT WHERE I WAS LIKE OH I BETTER SLOW DOWN - JUST DRIVE - HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPS

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.

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 Jaguar F-Pace. In dry conditions they handled well. The vehicle cornering is good but not the stiffest sidewall out there. In wet conditions I had no issues with grip on takeoff but the AWD may have something to do with that. The winter weather conditions posed more issues for this tire. Ice traction was bad rates about 3. Light snow 6 and deep snow 4.5-5. Treadwear was horrific. 28k miles and they are in poor condition. All 4 tires are worn down and need replacement. Couldn't even get two winters out of this tire but just as well as they aren't the best cold weather all season out there. For the money Michelin LTX and Bridgestone Dueler's are a much better choice. Since I'm biased to Michelin the LTX will most likely be my next tire.

These tires came OEM on my RR. I live down south so they mostly experience temperate conditions. No complaints except maybe road noise (but I presently have no basis of comparison).

The Conti's were highly effective during "snowmageddon" a few years ago in Atlanta. My commute turned out to be uneventful -- normal even -- while the rest of the city struggled mightily. I even decided to climb my steep, icy driveway when I got home. No problem.

I have never had them in deep snow, however.

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.

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 mostly drive highway but am also often on country roads or city streets. I put about 35K mile/year on my car so these tires are not getting any breaks. They have transformed my Santa Fe SE's personality. Previously it road fairly hard and cornered flat and with what I thought was good traction but handling was clumsy. I'm pretty sure the load rating for these tires is either innacurate (meant for a heavier vehicle) or Tire Rack's info was wrong. In any case although I love these tires they have one scary attribute; the sidewalls are so stiff that the car actually bunny hops over tar strips or very rough roads such that things can get sort of scary (car will literally jump off the ground sometimes landing a little sideway)...not so good. When I first drove them after they were mounted I pulled over to check the pressure sure that the installer had added 20 extra pounds. These tires roll like rocks even when slightly deflated (I ended up reinflating to manuf recommendation as whether under inflated or not they still road HARD). Other than that they are awesome, quiet, very very responsive and great even in deep snow (I drove through drifted snow this winter which was 1/2 up the sides of the vehicle). The car corners on rails now and the tires are actually far superior to the steering response of the vehicle, that is handling is still clumsy somewhat because steering response on the Santa Fe is lacking compared to a true driver's car but I can take an off ramp or traffic circle at insane speeds for an SUV and not hear a peep from the tires, no sliding, no abnormal wear, no problems.

Although I cannot recommend these 100 % for a Santa Fe, on a heavier car these tires would be just flat wonderful.

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.

A good compromise between nice ride, good handling and longevity.

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.

These tires were OE on my jeep renegade, after only 17,000 miles they are worn out. I've never had a set of tires wear so fast. I would never buy these again.

12000 miles and they are 75% done. Totally unacceptable at this price point.

I will start by saying this is the tire that came on my Blazer when I leased it new, THEY ARE GARBAGE. 15,000 miles and they're already half worn down 6/32. I drove through a winter storm with them and was so stressed out by the time I got to my destination because the AWD Blazer was struggling to keep traction going in a straight line! Needless to say, I will need to replace these soon as winter has just started in NE Ohio, and Continental will not be getting any money from me. Any positive attributes the tire has are COMPLETELY overshadowed by the super fast wear, completely unacceptable snow traction, and the fact that a set of 4 is well over $1,500. Buy any tire but this one. Trust me.
