The CrossContact LX Sport is Continental's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed to help crossover utility vehicles perform on the highway. The CrossContact LX Sport was designed to combine ride and noise comfort with year-round traction, even in light snow.
The CrossContact LX Sport features an asymmetric tread design to blend traction and handling. Its notched outboard shoulder is supported by a circumferential rib to enhance ride comfort, steering response and stability on the road. Siped central tread blocks along with independent inboard shoulder blocks enhance all-season traction and braking in light snow and stormy weather.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts to provide strength on top of a polyester cord body that helps cushion the ride. The CrossContact LX Sport comes with a flanged lower sidewall to help reduce the possibility of curb damage to expensive wheels.
NOTE: While Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tires offer all-season versatility including traction in light snow, tire sizes featuring extremely wide tread widths may limit the traction this type of tire can provide in deep snow.
Limited sizes of the CrossContact LX Sport are available with Continental's ContiSilent Technology, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.

Can the New Crossover/SUV Tires Help Yours Drive More Like a Car? (03:59)
Today's CUVs and SUVs have evolved from their "light truck with the enclosed, cargo carrying convenience of a hatchback" design. Many prioritize on-road sportiness vs. all-around utility. To keep pace, new tire options for these vehicles blend handling, ride quality and year-round traction.
Owners report excellent dry traction and confident wet performance, with many highlighting responsive handling and a comfortable ride. Scores in the 9-10 range dominate for dry and wet conditions, aligning with the tire's summer-focused design. Comfort receives consistent praise for smoothness and low noise. However, treadwear shows mixed results-some note rapid wear, particularly with aggressive driving, though others report satisfactory longevity when used as intended. Overall, the Pilot Sport 4S excels in its performance categories, with most concerns centered on tread life rather than dynamic capabilities.

Very good wet and dry traction...
Very good wet and dry traction. Quieter on road than OEM tires. Good tire when doing autocross as well.

...The track had puddles, small streams running across the track and damp spots. There were moments of down pour rain, steady drizzle and sun all in the same session and the PS4S performed consistently and I felt confedient carring speed on the straight away and corners with these tires...
I bought these tires for a wet track day. I also had these tires on my 2020 M2 Comp on a wet track day. These tires performed better than expected the 1st time I had a wet track day in my M2. So when I had a wet track day in my 2022 GT4 there was no question what tires I needed to use for that day. The track had puddles, small streams running across the track and damp spots. There were moments of down pour rain, steady drizzle and sun all in the same session and the PS4S performed consistently and I felt confedient carring speed on the straight away and corners with these tires. I would recomend these for wet driving conditions on track.

...They have impeccable wet and dry traction, even in torrential downpours we often get here in FL...
These tires have been great thus far. They have impeccable wet and dry traction, even in our torrential downpours we often get here in FL. Steering response in very positive and tight, and when they've been pushed to their limit they break away easily and predictably which is surprisingly hard to get them to do even in this big SUV. Warm-up time is quick and they're performing great long before the engine oil is up to temp and the vehicle is ready for fun. Tread wear so far is a little better than what I expected. At about 6k miles they are showing little overall wear despite handling 650hp/700ftlbs in a 4500lb SUV that is driven very spirited through corners often. They seem quiet on the highway, but it's hard to tell as my 958 has the extra NVH package so its basically silent inside no matter what. Sidewalls seem stiff and perky as you'd want from a tire like this, and ride quality is stiff and composed but not overly harsh compared to whatever trash tires were on this when I bought it.
Overall these are amazing tires for a spirited street driver like myself that might see occasional track time. The 20k mileage warranty on a performance tire this size is also an amazing and unusual bonus. I'll definitely be putting these back on when replacement time comes.

...Dry traction is one of the best for daily driving and wanting to get into some fun!...
One of the best tires I've ever put on my WRX! Corner grip and handling is predicable and precise. Wet traction has never missed a beat even till 4/32" tread. Dry traction is one of the best for daily driving and wanting to get into some fun! Comfort is pretty good for this category and noise is quite quiet for this type of tire. As the tire aged you do start to notice some tire noise but it's really faint. Michelin makes a really good product. I will consider this as the king of Max Perf. Summer tires.

...Vast improvement over OEM tires; grip, responsiveness to steering input, braking distance much reduced... Much more capable and predictable at the limit, better feel/feedback through steering wheel. Able to carry more speed on entry, mid-corner, and apply throttle sooner on exit...
Excellent tires which permit somewhat more than „spirited“ for daily driving. Vast improvement over OEM tires; grip, responsiveness to steering input, braking distance much reduced. Went to 18“ for better ride compliance. Much more capable and predictable at the limit, better feel/feedback through steering wheel. Able to carry more speed on entry, mid-corner, and apply throttle sooner on exit. Ride on mixed surfaces is excellent; road noise not an issue for me. True heavy wet weather performance remains unknown. However, limited opportunities to drive in moderately wet conditions demonstrates excellent traction that exceeds that of OEM; inspires far more confidence when pushing hard on slick/sketchy pavement.
Overall, very pleased with this set of tires for this vehicle.

Dry Traction is Insane. They feel very planted and take demanding curves with ease. Wet traction is very good and they maintain good contact with the road in heavy rain. Not so great in the light snow but they are Summer Tires! Be sure to have a winter set of tires if you live in a region that gets snow and save these tires for fun times when it's warm out. :)

...These are incredible in any category: dry-grip: insane • wet grip: insane • highway noise: very quiet • turn-in: instant • cornering grip: more than my 50+ year old body is willing to test • comfort: smooth as other tires...
The N0 Porsche rating is not a joke...
In early 2020 tried a set of PS4S that were not available in the N0 rating and ended up returning them for a set of Pilot SuperSports. These "non N0" rated tires made my 911 feel like a mini-van and were terrible - they didn't even feel safe. Obviously I was very apprehensive ordering PS4S's this time around, but since they are now N0 rated, and the fact that Pilot SuperSports are no longer offered, I took the chance and ordered them.
These are incredible in any category: dry-grip: insane • wet grip: insane • highway noise: very quiet • turn-in: instant • cornering grip: more than my 50+ year old body is willing to test • comfort: I can drive with the suspension set Sport and it's as smooth as other tires when set to normal stiffness.
I can't say anything about wear yet; but I suspect these will wear similar to the Pilot SuperSports; where they are great until about 12k miles and then start to fall off.
Summary: buy these, you'll love them!

...Tread-wear has been normal. For 30K mile tires, I'm about 1/2 way there for tread wear...
From all the tires I've bought in the past Forty years, these tires by far out-shined them all. Even during under-steering, there's still under control. Ride comfort is awesome. Noise level is very low compare to my previous, Continental Pro Contacts , Michelin Pilot All Season or Michelin A/S 3+. During heavy rain, I can slice through the water at a comfortable speed of 75MPH. Tread-wear has been normal. For 30K mile tires, I'm abut 1/2 way there for tread wear. Hope this helps.
