Is the CrossContact LX25 good in snow?

It is an all-season tire, not a winter tire. Light snow is manageable, but for regular snow and ice a dedicated winter tire is the safer choice.

How long should these tires last?

Continental backs H- and T-rated sizes with a 70,000-mile limited treadwear warranty and V-rated sizes with 65,000 miles. Real-world life depends on rotation, alignment and driving style.

What does the 740 A A UTQG rating mean?

740 is the treadwear grade, A is the traction grade and A is the temperature grade. The high treadwear number signals long life; traction and temperature are the top grades.

Does it come in white-letter or black sidewall?

Continental lists both Outlined White Letter and Black Sidewall versions, so check the sidewall style on the specific size before ordering.

What is included with the purchase?

Continental includes a 60-day trial and three years of roadside assistance, plus the limited treadwear warranty on qualifying sizes.

How does it compare with the Michelin Defender LTX?

The Defender LTX generally has an edge in wet grip and handling, while the CrossContact LX25 leans toward a quieter ride and a competitive treadwear warranty.
