Continental CrossContact LX20 265/70R17 115T — All-Season Touring Tire
The Continental CrossContact LX20 265/70R17 115T is engineered specifically for truck and full-size SUV owners who need a dependable all-season tire for both daily highway driving and occasional light off-road use. 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 half-ton pickup truck or body-on-frame SUV year-round without compromise.
All-Season Traction
EvenLoad Technology distributes contact pressure evenly across the wide 265mm footprint, reducing edge wear on heavy truck and SUV platforms while maintaining consistent traction on rain-soaked highways and light gravel. 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 reinforced sidewall and open shoulder grooves handle packed gravel, dirt roads, and light trail conditions with confidence — without sacrificing the ride quality and fuel efficiency expected on paved highways. 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.
