Review on Continental ContiCrossContact LX2 225/65 R17 102H summer by Wiktor Wiater ᠌

I purchased to replace the failed similar tires of the previous generation, installed at the factory. They ALMOST lost their resource - they planned to drive the summer season and, possibly, ride the next one, but, unfortunately, in the dark they flew into a narrow but deep ditch that the unfortunate builders left in the middle of the road when they were repairing it. As a result, a rupture of the side cord and, as a result, the entire sidewall with bumps, loss of tire rigidity. There have already been reviews of the extremely weak sidewall of the previous generation tires. I confirm, really weak, which is surprising for rubber designed for crossovers. Judging by the declared characteristics, compared to the previous generation, the new tire is reinforced: the rayon layer in the tread area is replaced with polyester, and on the sidewall 1 rayon layer is replaced with 2 polyester layers. So far, there are no comments on performance - the sidewall is tough, you can feel it. Perhaps something else was changed in the rubber formulation - I did not find out. Recommended, good cover.
