The Continental ContiCrossContact LX Sport tires are designed for summer use on SUVs that are now more actively used in urban mode than for off-road conquest. These tires with a fundamentally new tread pattern and dense lamellation perform well on paved roads or small off-road areas.
Tread Pattern
The summer tires of this model have an asymmetric tread pattern with an open outer shoulder area. This improves the handling and braking performance of the vehicle, especially on unpaved roads. Most of the elements that formed the basis of the tread pattern of this tire model were borrowed from tire models optimized for heavy off-road conditions. Thanks to computer analysis, specialists decided to equip the Continental ContiCrossContact LX Sport tread with special blocks arranged in a specific sequence and drainage slot-like grooves along the entire circumference to improve passability, handling, optimize contact patch conditions, and achieve the necessary acoustic characteristics.
Rubber Compound
In this tire model, the rubber compound has undergone some changes compared to the previous one. As a result of the addition of new components, the wear rate decreased by 28%. At the same time, this made it possible to reduce the noise and rolling level and significantly increase handling, so even a slight movement of the steering wheel is immediately responded to, reducing the vehicle's reaction time.
Key Features of the Continental ContiCrossContact LX Sport Model
- a fundamentally new design of the ContiCrossContact LX Sport tire tread pattern, which makes it possible to achieve excellent tire characteristics in light off-road and asphalt conditions;
- the system of slot-like grooves provides self-cleaning of the tires and high-quality water drainage from the contact patch;
- the modified rubber compound compared to previous versions has become more wear-resistant, perfectly dampens the emerging noise;
- the carefully designed tire structure has made them more secure, improved braking and traction properties on wet and dry roads with and without coverage.
