Continental CrossContact LX20 255/45R22 XL 107V OE

Continental CrossContact LX20 255/45R22 107V — All-Season Touring Tire

The Continental CrossContact LX20 255/45R22 107V is engineered specifically for owners of premium full-size SUVs on 22-inch wheels who need an XL Extra Load all-season tire that handles the higher gross vehicle weights of loaded luxury SUVs without compromising stability or ride quality. As part of Continental's CrossContact family, it brings European tire engineering precision to the demands of American roads — blending confident all-season grip, long-distance comfort, and extended tread life in a single tire designed to stay on your full-size luxury SUV or premium large crossover on 22-inch wheels year-round without compromise.

All-Season Traction

XL Extra Load reinforcement increases the structural capacity of this 22-inch fitment, supporting the higher gross vehicle weights of fully equipped luxury SUVs. The 255mm width and 45-series profile deliver the sharp, confident steering feel that drivers of large luxury vehicles increasingly expect — closer to a performance sedan than a traditional truck-based SUV. The all-season silica compound maintains flexibility and traction across a wide temperature range — from hot summer highways where lesser tires overheat and wear prematurely, to cold autumn and early winter roads where compound hardening reduces grip. M+S (Mud and Snow) rated, the CrossContact LX20 handles light winter conditions safely, giving drivers confidence during the first and last weeks of winter when conditions are unpredictable.

Wet Weather Safety

Water management is a priority in the CrossContact LX20's tread design. Wide circumferential grooves create high-volume drainage channels that pump water away from the contact patch continuously, reducing aquaplaning risk on rain-soaked interstates and standing-water situations. Lateral sipes provide additional micro-grip on wet pavement, maintaining consistent braking performance even as rain intensity increases.

Highway Comfort & Low Noise

The V-speed rating and XL construction work together to maintain tire integrity during the high-lateral-load situations that arise when a 6,000+ lb luxury SUV takes a highway interchange ramp at speed. Continental's noise-reduction tread pitch engineering prevents resonant frequencies from developing at highway speeds, keeping cabin noise levels appropriate for a premium vehicle environment. Long-distance drivers covering significant annual mileage will appreciate the combination of tread longevity and ride comfort that the CrossContact LX20 delivers over its lifespan.
