285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX All Season
Category: All Season – Grand Touring
The Continental ProContact TX is an all season grand touring tire that comes as original equipment on some luxurious sedans and coupes. It provides excellent control in most weather conditions including light snow. ProContact TX tires also offer a smooth quiet ride and assured handling in most environments. It also has a 70,000km tread life warranty for S and T rated sizes, 70,000km for H rated sizes, 70,000km for V rated sizes or a 70,000km for W rated sizes.
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 109 means each tire can carry up to 1030 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 400 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
Where this tire fits in
The 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX is a all season / all season – grand touring tire, built around a 285 mm section width for a 21-inch wheel.
In practical terms, this size gives you a 40-series sidewall of about 114 mm paired with a 21-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.
Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries an XL extra load rating, load index 109 and speed rating V (~240 km/h), UTQG 400 A A when provided by the manufacturer.
About the 285/40R21 tire size
The 285/40R21 breaks down into three numbers:
285 — tread width in millimetres, measured across the contact patch
40 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 114 mm of rubber between road and rim)
R21 — radial construction, for a 21-inch wheel
The 285/40R21 size is commonly found on performance vehicles and heavy duty trucks. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.
What stands out — Continental ProContact TX 285/40R21
XL (Extra Load) rated — handles higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load equivalent.
Marked as EV compatible — designed with EV load, torque, and road noise characteristics in mind.
UTQG 400 A A — manufacturer-assigned treadwear, traction, and temperature grades. Useful for comparing within the same brand, but not a mileage guarantee.
Service description 109V: load index 109 means each tire carries up to 1030 kg, speed rating V is rated to 240 km/h.
Quebec winter tire mandate — all-season note
Quebec mandates winter tires from December 1 to March 15. The 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX is an all season tire — and without the 3PMS symbol, a standard all-season does not satisfy Quebec’s mandatory winter tire rule. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, a dedicated winter or all-weather tire is the right call. requirement unless they carry the 3PMS symbol. Consider a dedicated winter or all weather tire for Quebec driving.

Common questions — 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX All Season
What does the 285/40R21 tire size mean?
Break it down and 285/40R21 tells you three things: the tread is 285 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 114 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 21-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on performance vehicles and heavy duty trucks.
Is the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX an All Season tire?
Yes — the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX is categorized as an All Season tire. Standard all-season tires handle mild year-round conditions but don’t meet Quebec’s mandatory winter tire requirement on their own. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, look at a dedicated winter or all-weather tire that carries the 3PMS symbol.
What does the 109V rating mean on the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX?
The 109V on the Continental ProContact TX breaks into two numbers: load index 109, meaning each tire carries up to 1030 kg, rated to approximately 240 km/h; and speed rating V, rated to 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX 3PMS rated?
No — the Continental ProContact TX doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.
Is the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX support run flat driving?
No — the Continental ProContact TX is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.
Is the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX an XL (extra load) tire?
Yes — the Continental ProContact TX is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.
What does speed rating V mean on the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX?
Speed rating V on the Continental ProContact TX corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
Can I order the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?
Yes — we ship the 285/40R21 Continental ProContact TX across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
