I wanted a set of Continental DWS06+ but it didn't come in quite the right size for my car so I went with the LX25 instead. For reference I live in MA but regularly venture further north in New England for skiing. My thoughts on the LX25 - pretty good, heaps better than the stock Turanzas that came with the car. Grip loss on packed snow feels smooth and predictable, not snappy like the stock tires. I've been able to floor it out of snowbanks on the couple of occasions I've needed to. Of course these will never be as good in snow as dedicated winter tires but I feel safe and confident when driving at a reasonable speed with these, something I can't really vouch for with the stock tires. No complaints on dry and rain performance, ride is comfy and quiet and I've never lost traction in either scenario.

I have the CrossContact LX25s on my 2019 Mercedes GLE400 4Matic (previous generation, same look as ML) and they replaced the factory Pirelli Scorpion runflats. Immediately, I was able to notice that the Contis ride much softer and quieter at the same tire pressures. While the Pirellis felt as if I were riding on 30 ratio sidewalls, the CrossContact LX25 made my Benz feel like a luxury car. I drive very gently with no hard acceleration, braking, or turning, so I cannot comment on the limit handling of the tires but I have never felt at risk when driving in the dry or wet, including standing water. Snow performance has not been tested as I have a set of Hakka R3s which are fantastic. I would strongly recommend the LX25s for anyone needing new tires on their SUV.

Aside from one instance of heavy rain. I'm not going to say I've been in any kind of extreme conditions with these, but I feel like I'm just gliding with these tires. An unreal level of comfortable, not just in terms of noise/bumps, but also responsiveness and not seeming to be bothered by rain, snow, or ice.
