Continental Cross Contact LX Sport Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 20 reviews

Short tread life is the main recurring concern with the Continental Cross Contact LX Sport, drawing seven critical comments against two favourable ones. Six of 20 written reviews from 19 drivers are positive, ten neutral and four negative, with an average score of 57.4%. Later-life accounts vary substantially, with several disappointed by early replacement while some report much longer service. Quiet running and dry handling each receive praise from two owners, so these are smaller positives rather than a broad consensus. Two owners report repeated punctures, but the remaining complaints are mostly isolated within this limited sample.

I’ve had these in the car for a few days now and have to say I love them. They are quiet and comfortable, and they provide good handling and good feedback. There is no sign of tram lining and they give good steering response. I will review them again after a few thousand miles, but so far all is good and I am very pleased.

Those tyres lasted me about 6 months and I paid nearly £600 for 4 run flat tyres, the worst lasting tyres
