Review on Continental ContiCrossContact LX2 225/65 R17 102H summer by Micha Kobiaka ᠌

Before these LX2s, I drove 9 years on one set of previous LXs - there are no differences in behavior, except for a greatly increased noise. I regret that I bought it - I mostly drive on the highway at 110-120 km / h (just returned from a trip south on the M4) and the tire buzz is very annoying. Its pros: Fairly soft. Irregularities pass normally (but I have a high size 215x65R16). On a normal road, handling, braking, rut stability, rolling - everything is fine in any weather. In slush at -5ºС they behave perfectly (changed in the March thaw and then there was still a cold snap with snow). Balanced well - weights maximum 40 g. Got cons: As soon as the asphalt becomes at least a little worse than ideal, and at speed (well, as at speed - immediately more than 100 km / h) they make a terrible noise. I immediately noticed when I realized that the radio in my Tiguan now has to be twisted much louder in order to hear speech normally. The protector is an hellish stone collector (although the noise does not increase with a set of stones). Rubber seems to have a hint of off-road, but in liquid mud there is simply no handling. Water drainage is doubtful - a couple of times at speed in puddles I did not feel the control at all.
