Continental CrossContact H/T Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 9 reviews

Drivers generally report the Continental CrossContact HT as a comfortable, quiet touring-oriented SUV tire with good dry and wet-road manners, and several note improved fuel efficiency versus prior tires. Most high-scoring reviews praise low noise, smooth ride and confident wet/dry grip in early mileage. A minority of users report notable issues such as poor cornering/footprint feel, wet sliding as the tire wears, and occasional vibration/imbalance at higher speeds, leading them to say they wouldn't buy again.

One of the best tires I have fitted in any car. True 80-20. Excellent on road, great grip, fantastic braking and confident in the wet. Also in light gravel the grip was fantastic. Can’t wait to try them also with a bit of snow. The best thing the absolute minimum road noise. Incredible all around tire.

Just installed these tires. After installation, I noticed a significant imbalance above 110 km/h. I went to a service center, and they rebalanced them more carefully - the vibrations decreased but didn’t disappear completely. They are still noticeable.
The tires feel stiff compared to my winter Michelin and are also noisier. They transmit road imperfections more.
Based on my experience, I would classify these tires as economy class rather than premium, despite how the manufacturer positions them.

I replaced all 4 tires on my Lexus NX with Continental Cross Contact H/T 100H tires. What a difference, I had Yokohama Blueearth E51 100H tires on before, these are standard factory fit by Lexus. The Yokohama tires are a very stiff side wall, offering little bump absorption on roughy UK roads. The NX is not really a sporty SUV to be thrown into corners, so the stiff tire wall is wasted in my opinion, instead they provide a very bumpy ride with excessive noise which passengers complained about. The Continentals are so much quieter, offer a smoother ride and have a softer side wall. I can’t really tell the difference in handling, it’s an SUV so I don’t expect race car handling and never pushed the Yokohama tires so I can’t really comment too much. I certainly won’t be going back to Yokohama Blueearth tires.

European version asx 215/70r16 , before had Michelin Latitude Cross for 55k kms, but was very noisy on road and fuel consumption getting up 0.5 liters/100km. Conti real great in the first 4.000km silent and also consumption was significant less than before. Hope have keep having this nice performance for more than 40k kms.

I have driven 3,000 km with these tires and I am very satisfied with their behavior on both dry and wet roads. Before them I had conti crosssontact lx2 with which I drove about 40,000 km in 5 summer seasons and they were also very good tires.
