Continental ProContact GX All‑Season Tires
Meet the Continental ProContact GX, a well balanced all-season touring tire built for everyday confidence. It's tuned for a quiet, composed ride and delivers dependable wet braking, surefooted cornering, and stable highway tracking. An all-season compound and dense siping help it hold grip as temperatures change and in light winter weather, while an optimized tread pitch keeps cabin noise in check. Offered in popular fitments, plus select ProContact GX SSR run-flat sizes, the GX brings OE-level refinement with year-round versatility.
Key Features and Specifications
The ProContact GX puts comfort and control first. A symmetric tread with continuous center ribs sharpens straight-line stability and steering feel. Wide circumferential grooves shed water to resist hydroplaning, and dense siping adds bite on wet roads and light snow. Closed shoulders and an optimized block pitch help keep noise down, and many sizes are OE tuned, with select fitments available as GX SSR run-flat with size-specific speed and load ratings.
On‑Road Performance in All Seasons
In daily driving, the ProContact GX feels composed with predictable steering and confident dry grip. Its wet manners stand out thanks to efficient water evacuation and siping that maintains traction under braking. In winter it handles light snow and slush, but for frequent deep snow or ice a dedicated winter tire is the safer choice. Road noise stays well controlled for a touring tire, and its low rolling resistance supports fuel economy without sacrificing stability.
ProContact GX SSR Run‑Flat Explained
Select sizes are offered as ProContact GX SSR run-flat. SSR construction is engineered to support the vehicle's weight for a limited distance at reduced speed after a complete loss of air pressure, so you can reach a service location. Run-flat tires typically weigh more and can ride a bit firmer than standard versions, and they should be used only on vehicles designed for run-flat operation with TPMS. Always follow the vehicle and tire maker guidance for maximum speed and distance after a puncture.
Sizes, Fitment, and OE Markings
The ProContact GX comes in popular fitments for modern sedans and crossovers. Common sizes include 245/40R18 97H, 245/45R19, 235/55R18, 235/50R19, 225/45R18 95H, and 245/40R19. Many GX tires carry OE codes such as MO or MOE for Mercedes-Benz and AO for Audi, which signal maker-specific tuning, so match those markings along with the size, load index, and speed rating on your door-jamb placard or owner's manual. If you're replacing a run-flat, choose a run-flat replacement unless the vehicle maker says otherwise.
Pricing, Availability, and Warranty
Inventory and pricing vary by size, speed and load rating, and whether you choose a standard or SSR run-flat version. OE-marked fitments can have unique ride or noise tuning and may affect availability. Warranty coverage depends on region and whether the tire is an OE fitment or a replacement purchase, and some OE tires do not include a mileage warranty. Review Continental's current terms for your size, keep tires inflated to spec, and rotate on schedule to protect coverage.
ProContact GX vs. ProContact TX
ProContact GX and ProContact TX are all-season touring tires aimed at comfort and everyday control. The GX appears widely as original equipment, where low noise and steering feel are tuned to specific vehicles. The TX is often positioned for the replacement market with broad sizing and similar year-round versatility. If your car came with ProContact GX, especially with OE codes, a like-for-like replacement best preserves the intended ride, while the TX is a solid alternative when you want non-OE tuning or wider size options.
