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.

Do you have a question about CrossContact LX20 265/70R17 FR 115T?
The Continental CrossContact LX20 carries up to a 70,000 mile limited treadwear warranty, depending on size and speed rating. Coverage can vary by fitment, so review the warranty booklet or the retailer listing for your exact tire. To get the most life, rotate at the intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, keep pressures at the door label, and fix alignment issues early. Warranty eligibility requires proper maintenance and documentation, so keep service records and follow the rotation pattern specified for your drivetrain.
The CrossContact LX20 is an all season tire designed for year round driving, including light snow. Its compound and dense siping help maintain grip in colder temperatures and on slushy roads. It is not optimized for deep snow or icy conditions, where a dedicated winter tire will start and stop more effectively. For milder climates and occasional snow, the LX20 delivers balanced performance and solid wet weather braking.
Fitment depends on matching your original tire size, load index, and speed rating. Check the driver door label or owner manual for the OE specs, then compare them to the CrossContact LX20 you are considering. If you have changed wheels or ride height, confirm overall diameter, load capacity, and clearance. Popular sizes include 255/55R20, 275/60R20, and 275/55R20, and we can verify an exact LX20 fit for your year, make, model, and trim.
Yes. The CrossContact LX20 uses an optimized tread pitch to reduce pattern noise and a stable tread design to smooth out road feedback. Drivers often report a hushed cabin on the highway and a composed feel in daily use. Keep pressures at the door label and rotate regularly to preserve that quiet ride throughout the tire's life, and compare similar all season touring options if ultimate cabin hush is your top priority.
Follow a consistent routine to maximize tread life. Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as your owner manual recommends, keep pressures at the door label, and ensure alignment and suspension are in spec. Even small toe or camber errors can accelerate or unevenly wear the tread, so correct issues quickly and rebalance if you feel vibration. If you tow or carry heavy loads, confirm the tire's load index meets your needs and adjust pressures as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Yes, the CrossContact LX20 is an excellent choice for daily commuting. It offers a smooth, quiet ride, enhanced fuel efficiency, and reliable traction in various weather conditions.
