Continental CrossContact LX Sport 245/50R20, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Fuel efficient performance; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable performance; Continental CrossContact LX Sport TiresThe Continental CrossContact LX Sport is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes as well. The tire promotes excellent year round traction with the silica compound and the ideal tread design. This combination ensures the dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility as well. As a result, the tire can securely perform in versatile weather conditions. The groove placement avoids hydroplaning, since it effectively channels water and slush away from the footprint. The special silica compound blend and its all season traction ensures a fuel efficient performance. They work together to ease the pressure off the tire, minimizing the rolling resistance. This promotes a fuel conscious performance as it decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption without ruining its driving safety. In other words, the tire reduces its carbon footprint, while decreasing the vehicle's CO2 emissions, which offers a fuel conscious driving experience. The better tread design maintains the surface contact at all times. This results in a secure steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring the driver's consistent control over the vehicle. The tire helps to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The silica compound also helps to optimize the tire's braking ability. It works with the road contact to generate friction during braking, which significantly decreases the stopping distance. The Continental CrossContact LX Sport utilizes the ContiSilent technology in order to reduce the road disturbances reaching the vehicle's cabin. This pattern places a sound-absorbing foam lining on the inside of the tread, which filters sound waves through it. As a result, it significantly lowers the road noise created while the tires are in motion. This guarantees a quiet driving experience. 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.
