Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2: The Perfect Tire for On-Road and Off-Road Adventures
Unmatched Performance for SUVs and Off-Road Vehicles
The Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 is engineered for those who demand both safety and comfort on the road, as well as durability for light off-road excursions. Designed for SUVs such as the Evoque, Qashqai, and Touareg, this tire offers remarkable improvements over its predecessor. Enjoy up to six percent better braking, three percent enhanced handling, and a ten percent increase in puncture resistance for off-road driving. Additionally, the rolling resistance is reduced by eight percent, and the tire's lifespan is extended by over 25 percent.
Exceptional Handling and Safety
Continental's expertise and innovation shine through in this premium tire, offering short braking distances for optimal safety. With excellent dry and wet braking performance and superb handling characteristics, it is trusted by leading vehicle manufacturers like Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Cherokee, and VW Amarok.
Key Features
- Superior dry and wet braking performance with excellent handling
- High mileage and driving comfort
- Excellent traction for light off-road use
Technical Details
The tire's high profile rigidity is achieved through a robust central tread design, a closed shoulder profile, and additional sipes in the tread blocks. This ensures outstanding handling and excellent braking on dry roads. For wet conditions, the numerous sipes enhance grip by improving water displacement between the blocks and the road, ensuring short braking distances.
Enhanced Comfort and Longevity
The consistently closed shoulder profile acts as a barrier against rolling noise generated in the tread center, ensuring increased driving comfort through reduced noise levels. The flat tire contour allows for even pressure distribution, resulting in high mileage.
Superior Off-Road Traction
The tire's extensive siping creates numerous gripping edges, guaranteeing excellent traction for light off-road use.
The ContiCrossContact™ LX 2 - Safe on the road. And beyond.
In the new ContiCrossContact™ LX 2, Continental has added an SUV tire to its portfolio with safe, comfortable on-road performance and a robust design for light-duty off-road driving. Designed for vehicles like the Evoque, Qashqai and Touareg, it is available now, in time for the start of the summer tire season. The ContiCrossContact LX 2 gives up to 6 percent better braking performance, 3 percent better handling, and 10 percent better cut and chip resistance off-road than its popular predecessor. Continental’s development engineers have also improved rolling resistance by 8 percent and mileage by more than 25 percent in the new tire.
For SUVs- and off-road vehicles. Excelent handling in the road and light off-road use. Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. Excellent dry and wet braking performance and very good handling properties. Fits perfectly for example to Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Cherokee and VW Amarok.
Highlights:
Excellent dry and wet braking performance and very good handling properties
High mileage and high level of driving comfort
Outstanding traction in light off-road use
Technical details:
Excellent dry and wet braking performance and very good handling properties. The tyre’s high pattern stiffness is highly impressive. This is ensured by the solid central pattern area, the closed shoulder pattern and additional raised areas within the tread pattern blocks. The tyre therefore offers excellent handling and very good braking properties on dry road surfaces. Short braking distances on wet road surfaces are ensured by the highly siped pattern, which increases grip by means of improved water displacement between the blocks and the road surface.
High mileage and high level of driving comfort. The continuously closed shoulder pattern creates a barrier against the tyre noise produced in the centre of the tread pattern. A high level of driving comfort is therefore guaranteed thanks to reduced noise emissions. The flat tyre contour facilitates an even distribution of pressure between the tyre and road surface. This leads to high mileage.
Outstanding traction in light off-road use. The highly siped pattern creates numerous grip angles. These guarantee outstanding traction in light off-road use.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
