Continental CrossContact LX Sport 265/45R21XL 108W BSW

Continental CrossContact LX Sport Product Description

This listing is for new Continental CrossContact LX Sport 265/45R21XL 108W BSW Tires. Manufacturer part number: 03590140000.

The Continental CrossContact LX Sport is a performance-oriented all-season tire for crossovers and SUVs, developed primarily as an original equipment (OE) fitment for premium European and Asian platforms. If your crossover came with these from the factory, it was selected to hit stringent manufacturer targets for handling precision, ride comfort, and low rolling resistance.

The tuning reflects its factory credentials. An asymmetric tread design featuring large, rigid outer shoulder blocks delivers sharp steering response and cornering stability matching the chassis dynamics of vehicles like the Porsche Macan and Audi Q5. Underneath, an advanced internal casing structure acts as a road cushion over broken pavement without causing float or squirm. Continental's EcoPlus approach reduces rolling resistance to optimize fuel economy and preserve electric vehicle range. Select sizes feature ContiSeal™ self-sealing technology (which automatically seals tread punctures up to 5mm) or ContiSilent® technology (an internal acoustic foam layer that reduces cabin road noise). Wide longitudinal grooves and specialized siping ensure confident wet braking and hydroplaning resistance.

One essential point to understand: the CrossContact LX Sport does not carry a standalone treadwear mileage warranty, as Continental excludes this OE-focused model from mileage coverage. It remains fully protected against manufacturing defects through Continental's Total Confidence Plan, but drivers seeking a long mileage warranty should look toward replacement-market touring alternatives like the CrossContact LX25.

It is an all-season tire without 3PMSF severe snow certification, so while it manages cold rain and light slush, it is not a substitute for a true winter tire. On heavy or high-torque crossovers, rotate every five thousand miles and verify wheel alignment upon installation to prevent premature shoulder wear.

Best-suited for: Porsche Macan, Audi Q5, Honda Pilot, Honda Passport, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Volvo XC60, Acura MDX.
