Review Summary
Based on 21 user reviews
Most drivers rate the Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 highly for confident dry and wet grip, quiet/comfortable ride (especially when new), and solid light off-road ability, with several praising strong longevity. Snow performance is acceptable only in light/deep-ish fresh snow and generally not recommended for descents or compacted/icy conditions. A minority report increasing road noise and some harshness as the tyre wears or in very cold temps. Overall sentiment is positive, with durability, highway stability, and mixed-surface traction being standout strengths.

Latest Continental ContiCrossContact LX 2 Reviews
I live in the UK - temperate climate, hardly snows if ever - we get our fair share of rain....
I don't offroad. Mostly town and motorway.
I have these tyres as they came with the car.
I've listed the review as average driving style, but in truth the car does get pushed ( 'spirited')more often than that.
Coming up to 30K miles on these tyres. 3.2mm left on front 4.4 on rear.
I think its fair to say that in the UK 10 years ago, very very few people would have even known that winter tyres were an option, certainly my parents have never had them fit in there nearly 60 years each of driving.
Nowadays, especially with the german brigade failing miserly whenever there is the slightest sign of light frost, winter tyres seem to be 'the norm'.
These tyres are classed as mud and snow tyres by peugeot, on here they are classed as Premium Touring Summer tyres designed to be fitted to SUV and 4x4's.
I'm no tyre expert, but to me; the tread pattern looks like its designed for more than summer roads - and having driven these for 30k miles, i can say with confidence that these tyres are great.
Wet and dry handling, braking, confidence is brilliant - keeping in mind its an SUV.
Pushing it hard in roundabouts, its predictable, you just know...
I haven't encountered deep snow, i'd like to know if these are good in snow, but we just don't see any. However, for the UK, in sub 7 degree temps they perform like my wifes car which IS shod in winter rubber.
All I can say is that i wouldn't hesitate to buy these again (which won't be long for the front). Infact, i don't think i would consider a summer tyre of these. If you own a SUV in a climate similar to mine, then consider these.
After Diving for 25000 miles I faced the following Issues, 1) the road noise increased considerably 2) The vibrations on the back tyres have increased. 3) The thread on the tyres are down to 3-4 mm but the threadblocks are worn out unevenly on the back tyres at certain points which effects the added noise that I am experiencing.
Overall the tyres are excellent, They have fared well for the extreme temperature in UAE. You feel very confident while driving and breaking distance feedback on these tyres are excellent. My comments after having used the Bridgestone Turanza on myDodge Durango and the Pirelli Tyres on My Honda. You will not regret buying these tyres and I am already on the lookout for the replacement tyres as they are hard to find for the 225/55/18 variant in UAE.
The ride is smooth and silky.
Very good traction in sand, pebbles, gravel, dirt and mud.
Above 40km/h on 20-30cm deep snow, some under steering appears even with locked 4x4. By comparison, my snow tyres on FWD are stable at over 60km/h.
Overall very good tyre that I would gladly wear again.
Before them I used GY EfficientGripSUV for 40000 km in 4 years, which were excellent in the dry but worse in the wet and desperate in gravel road.
All recommendations for Conticross lx2.
My main complain is that it is noisy on our roads here in Middle East..
