From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Continental CrossContact LX25 is highly regarded by users for its exceptional ride comfort, low noise levels, and reliable all-season traction. It is frequently cited as a superior replacement for factory-installed tires, offering a balanced performance profile that excels in daily driving conditions across various climates.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and quiet operation
- Significantly improved braking performance
- Predictable and confident handling in light snow and wet conditions
- Strong value proposition compared to premium factory-installed alternatives
Cons
- Tendency to pick up and eject road gravel
- Occasional reports of premature tread wear in specific use cases
- Stiffer sidewall response when encountering sharp road imperfections or deep potholes
Observations
- Luxury SUV owners (Mercedes ML/GLE) report a significant improvement in ride quality and cabin noise when replacing factory run-flat tires with the LX25.
- Users with 19-inch wheel configurations on compact crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 find the tire to be a reliable solution for challenging New England weather conditions.
The General Grabber A/T (specifically the ATX variant) is widely regarded as a high-value, versatile all-terrain tire that excels in snow, ice, and varied off-road conditions. While most users praise its comfort and quiet road manners, some report concerns regarding tread life, fuel economy, and a tendency for the tread pattern to retain and eject small rocks.
Pros
- Exceptional traction in snow, ice, and winter conditions
- Superior ride comfort and relatively low road noise for an aggressive tread
- Strong value proposition compared to premium competitors like BFG
- Reliable performance on dirt, gravel, and mud surfaces
Cons
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy for many users
- Tread pattern prone to picking up and throwing small rocks
- Inconsistent tread life reports, with some users experiencing premature wear
- Occasional reports of wet-weather traction issues or 'squirm' when new
Observations
- Users with heavy-duty trucks (e.g., 2500HD models) report good stability for towing, though proper inflation pressure is critical to avoid a 'floating' sensation.
- Drivers of smaller SUVs and crossovers occasionally report faster tread wear compared to truck applications.
- Low-profile versions on large-diameter rims (20-inch+) are noted by some as having weaker sidewall durability against potholes and curb impacts.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
