The CrossContact LX25 is Continental's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossovers and small SUVs who want a comfortable, luxurious ride combined with confident, all-season capability. The CrossContact LX25 is designed to provide a smooth, quiet ride plus crisp handling and sure-footed traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including light snow.

Continental's Next Generation EcoPlus+ Technology compound is molded into the CrossContact LX25's symmetric tread pattern. Comfort Ride Technology places an absorption layer below the tread to deliver a smooth, comfortable ride without sacrificing steering response, and the continuous circumferential ribs help reduce tread noise. The Next Generation EcoPlus+ Technology tread compound helps extend tread life and reduce stopping distances in wet conditions, while the wide, circumferential grooves allow water to flow through the footprint to enhance hydroplaning resistance. Lateral and diagonal sipes provide biting edges for traction in slippery conditions, and Traction Grooves feature biting teeth to trap snow and create snow-to-snow traction.

The internal construction of the CrossContact LX25 utilizes a polyester cord body supporting two heavy-duty, steel belts. The spirally wound, polyamide reinforcement helps stabilize the footprint to provide high-speed capability and handling, and the Comfort Ride Technology absorption layer is located above the reinforcement to maximize ride quality.

It's only been a few weeks but I've got to say that the ride is very nice, and also quiet. I've only had one day of driving with light rain so far but the traction was good. Dry road handling is excellent with great cornering.
I'll try to remember to come back and add to this after I have more miles on them.

...The winter traction is very reliable. Icy mixes would be best for snow tires but at slightly slower speed you will do very well in most any conditions.

Continental doesn’t disappoint. Great all season traction with a relatively quiet and smooth ride. The winter traction is very reliable. Icy mixes would be best for snow tires but at a slightly slower speed you will do very well with these tires in most any conditions.

...They are superb in the rain, and I have complete confidence that they will keep me safe. They are also very good in the snow. I can't comment too much on icy conditions...

I’m extremely happy with these tires. I am a woman, in my mid-sixties, and when I was in my early 20’s, I hydroplaned on a highway in NJ, because of crummy tires (probably were bald too). Miraculously, I ended up on the shoulder, albeit, facing oncoming traffic. Since that time, I painstakingly research my tires, to make sure they are good in the rain. Since I discovered Tire Rack, I find the reviews spot on, and hence I would like share my review that these tires are excellent! The initial first couple of months felt a little off (I think one reviewer described it is being on rails), but they definitely settled in. They are superb in the rain, and I have complete confidence that they will keep me safe. They are also very good in the snow. I can’t comment too much on icy conditions. I would definitely buy these again.

...They are confidence inspiring in all weather conditions and the tread wear is minimal...

I had previously purchased a set of Crosscontact LX25s for another SUV we owned. They are outstanding for light and even moderate snow, excellent wet tractions and hydroplane avoidance. These tires are also notably quieter than other tires. When my MDX's OEM tires, which were terrible - noisy, poor wet & snow traction, needed replaced the LX25s were my go to choice. They are confidence inspiring in all weather conditions and the tread wear is minimal. I became a Continental fan 20 years ago when they were the OEM tires on my Audi. I noted the excellent wet road performance and hydroplaning resistance as well as the long tread life. I've never been disappointed with any of their tire models. The LX25s are excellent all season tires and you won't be disappointed.

I purchased these tires for a GLS450 and they lasted exactly 3 years (Dec 2021) and put over 60K miles on them. They were great during wet weather, snow and dry conditions. I did my research on these a few years ago when trying to find a quality, comfortable and quiet tire and these met all my expectations. I have just ordered another set (Dec 2024) to put on the car. I have a feeling these will be discontinued soon, since Continental has put out some new similar products out.
