Review on Continental ContiCrossContact LX2 225/65 R17 102H summer by Stanislaw Wawrzynowi ᠌

Very long chose this model. Read a lot of reviews and tests. The requirements were such that the tire would also be suitable for driving at high speeds of 160km/h+. And for off-road trips. And for transportation of goods up to 3 tons. That is, the tire must be very durable and have a non-asphalt tread. Prior to that, went to many models of eminent firms. They all had strengths and weaknesses. But after buying these tires, I realized that they are the best for my requirements. Operated on Hyundai H1 Starex. 2WD with lock. Size 215/70/16. Riding - city, highway, off-road trips, frequent driving in a fully loaded car. The tire showed itself amazingly in the heat at high speed. And even at -10, of course, on snowless asphalt. Off-road, it shows the characteristics of an HT tire, although it is not one at all. The apotheosis of my surprise was the moment when I punctured a tire and had to drive almost on an empty wheel for about 2 km. I was sure that I would have to throw out the tire and spend money on a couple of new ones. When removing it, it turned out that the inner cord was not damaged at all! And this was on a 2.5t car, driving 2km at a speed of 40km / h! Grandiose reliability! Prior to that, there was BFGoodrich Urban Terrain. Praised and hyped to the max. Which, with a similar problem, opened the inner cord and formed a bump after 100 meters! Of course, after the soft Michelin Primacy HP - which has a pure track tread, the Continental Cross Contact LX2 will seem a little noisier and rougher. But this more than pays off with its pluses. In general, for those who care about reliability, controllability, and at the same time the possibility of unhindered access to light and medium off-road conditions, this is an ideal option! Also, this tire allows you to calmly wait for the final arrival of snowfalls and ice, avoiding early change of shoes. And a little about wear resistance - it is also the best of all that I have ridden. For 2 years and 40 thousand km of very hard use, the tires have worn out by no more than 30%. I recommend !
