Continental Cross Contact LX 25

The Continental Cross Contact LX 25 is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize treadlife and dry handling in a highway all-season truck tire. With a treadlife score of 10 and a 70,000-mile warranty, it outpaces the category average of 61,048 miles, making it a cost-effective option for long-distance drivers. Its dry grip and handling scores of 8.5 each suggest it will perform well on dry pavement, providing reliable traction and stability during highway driving. However, the tire's wet grip score of 5 is below the category average of 6.1, which could be a concern for those who frequently drive in wet conditions. It also lacks the 3PMSF certification, which some competitors offer, potentially limiting its performance in light snow. Compared to the Firestone Destination LE3, which offers better wet grip, the Cross Contact LX 25 may not be the best choice for wet climates. Overall, the Cross Contact LX 25 is best suited for drivers who primarily travel on dry highways and value long treadlife. Those in wetter climates should consider alternatives like the Firestone Destination LE3 for improved wet traction.
