Continental CROSS CONTACT LX25 All-Season Tire 235/55R17 - Quiet

Our review of the Continental CROSS CONTACT LX25 All-Season tire finds it best suited for drivers of crossovers and SUVs who want a quiet, fuel-efficient touring tire with long tread life. The single biggest reason to consider these tires is the combination of Continental's EcoPlus Technology and a generous limited tread life warranty of up to 70,000 miles, which together deliver improved fuel economy, extended wear life, and shorter wet braking distances compared with many competing all-season touring tires.

Key Features

• Up to 70,000-mile limited tread life: Provides long-term value and predictable replacement planning for drivers who put high miles on their crossover or SUV.
• EcoPlus Technology: Helps save fuel and optimize range while also contributing to longer tread life and improved wet braking performance.
• Short wet braking distances: Engineered tread and compound reduce stopping distances on wet roads for increased confidence in rain and light storm conditions.
• Low road noise: A refined tread design reduces cabin noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride on highway and city surfaces.
• Responsive year-round handling: Balanced construction delivers consistent handling across seasons for everyday commuting and longer trips.

Who It's For

The CROSS CONTACT LX25 is ideal for owners of crossovers, small SUVs and passenger vehicles seeking a touring tire that emphasizes longevity, low cabin noise and fuel efficiency. It fits drivers who value long tread warranties and want a tire that performs reliably in wet conditions and remains comfortable on long highway drives.

Drivers who need dedicated winter or off-road traction should look elsewhere; this is a premium all-season touring tire, not a winter-only or aggressive off-road tire. Those focused solely on maximum performance handling or ultra-soft ride characteristics may prefer a different specialty tire.
