Tyre reviews Continental ContiCrossContact LX2. Page 2 336

To be honest, these tires are very ambiguous.
I bought a UAZ for myself in the winter. It had this tire as standard. Well, the fact that it is many times better than the standard Kama tires doesn't need to be mentioned. So, despite the fact that it is written that it is all-season, and M+S, and mountains are drawn, but still, it's better to drive on it only in the summer. In the winter, you drive like on plastic buns. You drive and constantly wait for the skid to start - to the extent that the feeling of connection with the road is lost. BUT, not once did it skid, not once did it drift, it drove straight.
Further. I live in the countryside, and to get to my house, I have to drive through a field. In the winter, the snow drifts up to the frame. Well, and here, of course, these wheels give up. The tread pattern is not designed for driving on virgin soil. Therefore, until I bought winter studded tires, I got stuck and dug out very often.
In general, this is not the best option for winter. Especially for rural areas.

In the summer, the situation changes. It's a fairly decent option for getting around. At the end of March 2020, just a couple of days before the quarantine was announced, we drove to a village in the Tambov region. There, the snow had just melted, and the thawed black soil appeared. So, the UAZ drove without any problems, didn't slip or get stuck anywhere.

Also, to test the passability of this tire, we drove to a sandy quarry. And on the sand, this tire works even better than off-road tires - it can climb a hill even without engaging the low gear. Although other cars with MT and AT tires got stuck there, the tread pattern makes a difference.

Well, what can be said in conclusion. Yes, as a standard tire for a Continental off-road vehicle, it's not bad. In the city, you can even drive normally in the winter. In the summer, it won't let you down either. Of course, this is not MT, and not even AT, so you shouldn't go into real mud with them, but on various dirt roads, field roads, and unpaved roads, it's generally not a problem.

Would I buy these tires for myself again? Rather not. I bought winter studded tires for the winter, and right now, when I'm writing this review, there's a lot of snow outside my window, and the studded tires are working very well. And for the summer, I'll take AT - here in our village, there's clay, and after rains, it becomes like plasticine. Constantly have to pull out stuck cars.

In European catalogues, it's described as a demisaison, and in our descriptions, it was written for -30/70 summer/winter light off-road/asphalt. These parameters were fully met. Straight from the factory, it came with Bridgestone Sport (I don't remember the exact model, but the body panels were cracking at nothing)) Plus: aquaplaning, and it passes puddles much more confidently. A poor road and joints/creaks are much quieter and

I've been eyeing those tires for a while now, but the relatively high price always made me put off the purchase, to no avail. After getting "re-dressed" in continentals, I realized that I need exactly those tires. Quiet, soft, and resistant to aquaplaning. I've driven on various tires and ATs with different makers, from Korean to premium, but I never saw such a contrast compared to the other tires. This winter, I'll try to see

I have installed 285/60 R18 tires on my LandCruiser 200. Previously, Bridgestone Dueler h/p sport tires were installed. The silence in the cabin at any speed is remarkable, and it no longer shudders on exits. Excellent aquaplaning - after an hour of installation, I drove in the rain and the car didn't even think about swerving. The tire is excellent - it will even handle very rugged terrain. I was most pleased with

Over 5,000 km since Spring 2015. No punctures so far. Quiet. Suitable for dirt and light off-road. Only occasional slip on the frozen road on Yausky embankment during the winter of 2015-2016. This year decided to try to run without studs. Running normally on the snow. Not suitable for single-wheel drive vehicles, probably. Plan to put the same tyres on my wife's Daihatsu Terios 2.

A great tire for a 4x4. Excellent traction as on asphalt as on dirt roads. A high level of driving comfort - able to make a quite rough Rafik quite comfortable. Low noise level. My rating - excellent.

Renault Duster Compared to the original tires, I feel a lot more comfortable on these, and they handle quite well in potholes as well. Tires are not a mess to clean but based on my experience, I almost got stuck, but I had an old and reliable chain for one wheel, and everything else depends on the driver. I'm very pleased with the tires, there's no more endless steering on the road, it doesn't float like on the originals.

For 30,000 km, the tires have shown their good side both in summer and in the off-season. The only minus is the cost of the tire.

Size 235/65/17. Bought in winter for 10,800 rubles. Installed on the car on April 5, 2021.

Today, April 6, 2021, drove almost 300 km to a dacha in the Moscow region and back. 298 km on dry asphalt, 2 km on gravel. I tried to drive calmly on the highway, holding a speed of 100-120 km/h. I didn't drive on summer tires

Great replacement for worn out Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport 215/60 R17 96H, they were already holding on for dear life on the road and were a bit too stiff. I intentionally went a bit higher on the profile from the original spec to reduce sensitivity to small road irregularities. And I didn't make a mistake. The tires, despite their M/S marking, are much quieter than Bridgestones. They handle well on both dry and wet terrain. In the
