Continental CrossContact LX20. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Improved handling; Fuel efficient drive; Better tread life; All season traction; Noise-free drive; . OVERVIEW: The Continental CrossContact LX20 (OE) is a touring, all season tire manufactured for SUVs. This is an OE as it is the original equipment of select vehicles.The detailed tread elements provide a high number of biting edges to the driving surface, improving the overall controllability and driving stability. This tread maintains a consistent contact with the driving surface, boosting the overall steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions. In this manner, the driver is able to maintain a phenomenal control over the vehicle all the time. This promotes a better and safer maneuvering ability throughout the year.The durable compound materials are able to slow down the treadwear rate while in motion, avoiding premature wear formations. The irregular wear along the tread area is avoided as the tread is able to evenly distribute load and driving pressure. The combination of these features greatly enhances the overall tread life and usability as it guarantees a slow and even wear.The shoulder grooves and specially placed tread elements channel airwaves away from the footprint, avoiding tread noise formation. The reinforced twin steel structure keeps the tire in its optimal shape and allows the tread to closely follow the driving surface all the time. It absorbs vibrations while in motion, preventing road disturbances from reaching the vehicle's cabin. In this manner, passengers are able to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience all the time.This model also guarantees a fuel efficient performance thanks to its detailed tread elements and special compound materials. The tire comes with a lighter compound that reduces the overall weight of the tire, while ideal tread boosts the surface contact all the time. It is able to greatly lower the rolling resistance, which in return reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In this manner, the tire promotes a cost efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.The Continental CrossContact LX20 (OE)'s durable compound materials and detailed tread design work together to offer superb year round traction. These tread elements closely follow the driving surface and guarantee superb traction on dry, wet, and snowy roads. The compound optimizes rubber flexibility in various temperature conditions, while circumferential and lateral grooves eject water and slush from the footprint. This effectively avoids hydroplaning.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
