The tyre provides good handling and braking properties even on gentle terrain.
The tyre boasts very good aquaplaning resistance and its design prevents stones or grit from getting caught.
Thanks to its sidewall design, the tyre offers precise steering response and very good straight-line performance while rolling very smoothly and quietly.
In its 04/2006 issue, the magazine ’Auto Bild alles allrad’ tested this tyre in size 235/65 R 17 108 H.
Rating for the ContiCrossContact LX: "Exemplary"
Evaluation: "Balanced handling characteristics with high steering precision on dry asphalt, low rolling resistance, high aquaplaning reserves."
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
