Review
It looked really ugly to me at 1st glance, but it's what's inside that really counts as mum always told us. It has equally great dry and wet grip, and the hydroplaning resistance is good. The cornering and braking performance on these tyres are amazing. The ride comfort and quietness is also very good. Only problem it has is the quick treadwear that wears out too quickly for my liking.
What I like
Very good dry and wet grip. Quiet and comfortable ride. Good handling characteristics
What I do not like
Treadlife is quite short
I installed this on
Land Rover Freelander
Review
These tyres had served me well for the past 2 good months. I usually cross over the borders to visit relatives, and these tyres had assisted me in an even more comfortable, smooth and quiet rides. In Singapore, where I will mostly drive on proper roads, these set of tyres gave effortless safety and comfort in my driving. It is quiet while doing its job; not all silent, but quiet. Maneuvering through city roads was quite a breeze with these tyres, but it has quite a bad side when going through a bend or cornering at moderately high speeds. On wet roads, it does grip fantastically, almost on par to the other average gripping tyres. On not well developed tarmacs across the border, handling was a blast. Performs way better than most normal tyres, for it being a touring tyre than a normal tyre. This is my first touring tyres though, so I couldn't put it into comparison with other touring tyres. But I must say these set of Continental ContiCrossContact LX performs really well! Also, much less noise while going through piles of rocks and stones. For these 2 months, I see that the wear of the thread isn't all that bad, considering I constantly drive on improperly built roads.
What I like
The optimum performance of these particular set of tyres on uneven/less developed tarmacs is fantastic. Good for touring.
What I do not like
The almost average grip on wet tarmac is quite a turn off. But not everything in a tyre is perfect, and not everything is perfect in this relatively cheap tyres.
