Features and Benefits: Quiet performance; All season drive; Better tread life; High performance; Continental CrossContact RX TiresThe Continental CrossContact RX is a touring, all season tire made for SUVs and passenger vehicles. It has some high performance sizes as well. This model guarantees a quiet and comfortable performance, thanks to specially designed tread and ContiSilent technology. Its inner layer of the tire is coated with a special foam, which is able to absorb the road and tread noise and prevent them from reaching the vehicle's cabin. This greatly lowers the road disturbances while tires are in motion, enabling the passengers to enjoy a noise-free driving experience. The tire also provides a longer lasting tread life with its durable compound materials. These tread elements slow down the treadwear rate and avoid premature wear formations. On the other hand, the tread balances out load and driving pressure across the tread area to avoid irregular wear, boosting its overall tread life. This model also offers a phenomenal usability as it resists damage, such as stone retention and punctures. It prevents the tire from going flat by sealing 80% of punctures thanks to its ContiSeal technology. The Continental CrossContact RX is able to perform at high speeds in all weather conditions. The special groove pattern and ideal sipe placement provide a high number of biting edges, boosting the overall controllability and driving stability. This enables the driver to maneuver the vehicle with confidence at higher speeds, while compound prevents heat build-up and keeps the tire in its optimal shape. It is able to perform consistently well on dry, wet, and snowy roads, as circumferential and lateral grooves eject water and slush from the footprint. This actively resists the risk of hydroplaning and maximizes the overall surface contact. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select vehicles. 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.
