Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 24 reviews

Owners generally favor the Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 for road use, with seven comments praising dry grip and six dry handling. The 24 reviews from 23 people average 79.6%, with 21 positive and three neutral, while tread life draws eight favorable comments against two critical ones. Gravel and light off-road use also attract seven positive mentions, though more demanding terrain is less convincing in some accounts. Noise is less consistent, with eight favorable and four critical comments, and comfort is divided three to two. Four comments criticise snow handling, including repeat accounts from one driver, so the occasional snow-traction praise should not be read as a shared view of winter cornering capability.

I got the Tires factory fitted on the 2018 Peugeot 3008 1.8l engine. have used the tires for a total of 36000 miles of which 25000 MIles are driven without any issue.I drive daily at around 77 Mph on the Highway daily for around 50 miles and 25 miles within city limits at an average of 35 Mph. I have driven around 80 miles on off road to avoid traffic through the life of these tires. I have not rotated my tires at all during the life of these tires, However I have checked for Allignment every 6000 Miles without any issues reported.
After Diving for 25000 miles I faced the following Issues, 1) the road noise increased considerably 2) The vibrations on the back tires have increased. 3) The thread on the tires are down to 3-4 mm but the threadblocks are worn out unevenly on the back tires at certain points which effects the added noise that I am experiencing.

Overall the tires are excellent, They have fared well for the extreme temperature in UAE. You feel very confident while driving and breaking distance feedback on these tires are excellent. My comments after having used the Bridgestone Turanza on myDodge Durango and the Pirelli Tires on My Honda. You will not regret buying these tires and I am already on the lookout for the replacement tires as they are hard to find for the 225/55/18 variant in UAE.

After 30k+ miles (45k km) the tires had no tread left.
The ride is smooth and silky.
Very good traction in sand, pebbles, gravel, dirt and mud.
Above 40km/h on 20-30cm deep snow, some under steering appears even with locked 4x4. By comparison, my snow tires on FWD are stable at over 60km/h.
Overall very good tire that I would gladly wear again.

Very good handling on dry and wet roads, with real capabilties on light snow (but encountered some trouble climbing a hill with more than 5 cm of fresh snow). Good resistance: 40.000 km and still ok

I bought them recently and went with them about 2000 km. The impressions are excellent, quiet and comfortable, excellent in wet and very good in dry condition.
Before them I used GY EfficientGripSUV for 40000 km in 4 years, which were excellent in the dry but worse in the wet and desperate in gravel road.
All recommendations for Conticross lx2.

I got these tires fittet as standard on my newly purchased Peugeot 5008 GT-Line SUV equipped with Grip Control, because of which these tires come as standard on 18" wheels.
I have driven on these tires for about 2000 miles, before the winter season arrived.
For the initial review I can say the following:

Dry Grip: Extremely good, especially on damaged tarmac, gravel and off road. These tires are designed to give a good grip on different surfaces and the achieve this extremely well.

Wet Grip: Wet grip is satisfactory, but obviously not the best in class of premium touring summer tires, because of specific threar patter designed to provide better grip on gravel/mud/rocky terrain, these tires do suffer from some loss on wet roads. And drivers should be aware of this when driving in heavy rain. But generally in 99% of the time you don't even notice this.

Road feedback/Handling: The provide actually very good road feedback, tires are sturdy and they seem to not deform too much on curvy roads, so the car stays in balance and where you want it to go.

Wear: It is too early to say after 2000 miles, but there was no noticeable wear&tear on tires after this distance driven.

Comfort: Low profile and 18" wheels do decrease the comfort somewhat, but this is to expect so no complains there. I suppose cars with more advanced suspenssion systems (adaptive and air suspension) can compensate even lower porfile tires today.

Final conclusion: I still have many mile to drive on these tires, but so far they seem like a perfect fit for a Crossover/SUV type of a vehicle. They provide excellent grip on many different types of terrain, while still keeping decent comfort and noise levels on Motorway spees and tarmac. So far I can say I would definitely buy them again for this vehicle type.

Have used for almot 1500 KM. Compared to previous set which was Dunlop Grandtrek St30, it was night and day. The first thing to notice was the noise. My mom, who usually didn't notice any difference in car rides after I tweak here and there, suddenly said "Is it only me or does the car really run quieter?". Yes, much better road noise compared to the Dunlop. Cruising over potholes in in Jakarta, you didn't bounce to the left and right excessively anymore. In terms of dry and wet handling-braking, I feel more confidence with these tires.

Just like previous reviews, when mounting these tires to the rims, the mechanics were using inflated tube to fit in. They said that those tires have changed their shape (it was manufactured 2917, it is still new).

In terms of longevity the LX2 tire is hard to beat: 19,000 miles and 7mm of tread remains! Dry and wet road grip is very good too, and I can't fault their traction and grip on snow either (they're labelled 'M&S').
Unfortunately, they're not 'all-season', so once the temperature drops below 4deg C they become increasingly noisy and harsh (at -10deg C they sound and feel as though they're running flat).
Grip on compacted snow, icy or greasy roads suffers too.
As I've racked-up the miles the LX2s have also become noisier at normal temperatures.
I'd happily trade some of their high-mileage capability for more cold-weather/all-season versatility if I'm honest.
