The Continental CrossContact LX Sport is an all-season tire made for crossover utility autos. It is designed to provide a smooth quiet ride and offers good control in most weather conditions including light snow. The CrossContact LX Sport is intended to be driven on roads and highways.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
