Continental CrossContact RX



Manufacturer's description

Crossover performance enhanced by German technology.

  • Substantial road noise reduction for a smooth and quiet everyday ride.
  • Excellent wet braking performance.
  • Enhanced snow and wet traction for better driving safety.

Notable Features

Continental CrossContact RX is an asymmetric tire for SUVs and crossovers, presented by the German tire maker in 2019 as the second all-season development of this brand. The key features of this model include stable traction on slight snow, as well as on wet and dry pavement, smooth and noiseless ride, and exceptionally low rolling resistance (some sizes refer to Class A of the EU tire label). Continental CrossContact RX The optimized tread design of the Continental CrossContact RX ensures driving safety “in any weather conditions”. Yet with one reservation – in mild winters! This conclusion is prompted by the CrossContact RX tread pattern with a number of sipes, which is too small to ensure decent traction in deep or on hard-packed snow. Technical Highlights The engineers primarily focused on increasing hydroplaning resistance and improving the new model’s wet traction. The circumferential drainage grooves and the numerous sipes in the tread blocks, including U-shaped ones, situated at different angles to the driving direction, completely fulfill the task. Increased stability on wet surfaces The wide and flat contact patch serves to increase the Cross Contact RX wet traction, as well as to reduce its stopping distance on wet pavement. The uniform distribution of pressure in the contact patch prevents uneven wear and extends tread life.

The varied pitch of the Continental CrossContact RX reduces the noise level and the rolling resistance, which is further cut down by the rubber compound with a high content of silica and other special fillers.

Quiet ride, good traction for acceleration on dry roads.
What is bad?
Snow/Ice Performance
Wet Performance
Handling in any amount of snow is terrible. Sliding all over the place even with slow acceleration. Braking is awful. Doesn't do very well in heavy rain either.

Not great for Michigan driving.
