The CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology is Continental Tire's ecologically friendly Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed to help crossovers, sport utility vehicles and light-duty pickup trucks perform on the highway and in mild off-road conditions. The CrossContact LX20 is designed to enhance driving pleasure, save fuel and maintain grip when braking on wet surfaces while providing long wear and all-season traction, even in light snow.
The CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology uses an all-season tread compound featuring Continental's Tg-F Polymers and +Silane additives to improve treadwear, fuel efficiency and traction on slippery roads. The compound is molded into a symmetric tread design with notched outboard shoulders, independent intermediate tread blocks and continuous center ribs to blend on-road steering response and straight-line stability with reduced noise and enhanced ride comfort. Four circumferential grooves enhance wet traction while Continental's Traction Grooves (featuring ridges in the outboard grooves) promote three-dimensional snow-to-snow traction.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide on top of a polyester cord casing to combine strength with ride comfort. Most sizes of the CrossContact LX20 come with a flanged lower sidewall to help reduce the possibility of curb damage to expensive wheels.

...never had a problem on wet paved roads or gravel roads...
I own a small farm in WV. Snow, mud, highway and steep hills are a year round issue. These tires are great! Decent mileage performance, good gas mileage performance, never had a problem on wet paved roads or gravel roads. They are not a mud tire but performed well in light-moderate mud conditions. They did surprisingly well in the snow in level and up hill conditions. However, going down hill in any amount of snow was like being on a set of skis. No steering control and you basically slide down a typical WV gravel driveway. I live on top of a small mountain adjacent to the "Summit Bechtel Boy Scout National blah blah blah". My gravel driveway is kept clear in the winter by my tractor (anything above 4 inches). This tire has been one of the best I've ever owned. It looks good and rides like a dream. In my area of the US this tire is the most versatile and efficient tire nine months out of the year. A great tire for a light truck or SUV. Cheers!

Decent well-rounded tire. I got 52,000 miles out of them on a Jeep Grand Cherokee V6, normal or spirited driving and sometimes towing a trailer. Purchased primarily for the fuel economy, though I have no empirical way to tell if they have above-average fuel mileage or not. I do feel that they are a harder compound for increased fuel economy, so dry traction suffers. I was happy with the wet traction.

Most customers rate winter traction highly, with snow scores often 8-10. Ice traction shows mostly 7-8, indicating reliable grip in light winter conditions. A few lower scores suggest varied experiences in severe ice, but overall performance is strong for all-season use.

...They were fantastic in almost every regard - city/highway, dry/wet/snow and comfort/tread wear...
I had these tires on my 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD Access Cab. They were fantastic in almost every regard - city/highway, dry/wet/snow and comfort/tread wear. For the price I paid and the demand I required, these tires sold me on Continental as a brand. Great handling, very slow tread wear, quiet road noise...I couldn't have asked for more. I put the tires on the Tacoma when it had approx. 40,000 miles and I traded in the truck when it was at about 85,000 miles total - so 45,000 miles of tread life and I'd have kept on driving. Highly recommend!!
*Now I have a 2015 Audi S4 with Continental ContiSport Contact 3's, which are stock tires and have their own pros/con, and I'm in the market for more Continental tires.

...These tires had performed as reviewed, especially in heavy, light and deep snow. ...
I bought the Contact LX20 when my 2014 CRV had 2,000 miles because these are .75 inch wider than the OEM Contact. These tires had performed as reviewed, especially in heavy, light and deep snow. The ran smooth and quiet in on dry surface and went around corners with confidence. They really compliment my CRV. At 20,000 miles they still look new. However, my next set would be True Contact which is a step better from the review. I plan to buy it for my 2016 CRV also.

...Dry traction: great...
We love these tires! We bought them after the stock tires on our Fisker completely disintegrated at just 10,000 miles. My wife and I wanted to try something new, and she was especially excited to hear these had great snow traction. Plus, they were cheaper than the OEM tires — and frankly, we refused to buy those again.
So far, they're a solid 9/10 across the board (because there's always room for improvement). Dry traction: great. Wet traction: great. Wet snow traction: surprisingly superb!
My wife was convinced I’d get stuck in the snow, but she was shocked (and relieved) when I made it home without a scratch.

In a perfect world, where I am always driving on dry roads, these tire would be at the top...
In a perfect world, where I am always driving on dry roads, these tire would be at the top. But, after about 30k miles, wet traction started to decline, especially from stop. At about 40k miles, I noticed a little more noise, but not bad. Unless I’m slowly forgetting how quiet they were originally. Which is probably true. Prior to the 48k miles, these tires, were fantastic! And in all reality, still are, if you’re factoring in the mileage. Don’t get me wrong, I could easily get another 15k-20k miles out of them. They’re wearing great! I do try and rotate them at almost all oil change intervals, so I’m sure that’s the key. If I rated these, based on now, of course they’re not going to score as well as when they were new. When they were new, they beat just about any tire out there, in almost every category. So, does the truth lie somewhere in between?
Ride comfort and noise levels receive excellent ratings (mostly 9s-10s), offering a smooth, quiet experience ideal for crossover/SUV touring.

...Very quite tire, very good ride and handling...
Tires were OE fitment. This is the first time I have ever replaced an OE tire with another set of the same model tire as I have been so impressed with them. Very quite tire, very good ride and handling. Sure footed traction in all road conditions and the tires last 75,000 + mile. If not for the fact that we are heading into winter I would have run them an additional 5-10K miles.

Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires pay the obvious benefits when it comes to filling your tank at the gas station. But that's not the whole story. You have to drive on these tires everyday, too, including in the snow and on the ice. We brought tires from this category to Sweden with us to learn how well they'll do during the winter driving season.
CUVs and SUVs may not be the most efficient vehicles, but they can benefit from riding on more fuel-efficient tires. We evaluated three of the newest energy efficient tires for these vehicles. All feature the latest tread compound/internal design technology to minimize rolling resistance and maintain traction/road manners.
