Driving in winter weather can be challenging, as ice, slush, snow, and low temperatures make it difficult for tires to grip the road. Fortunately, winter tires are built with flexible rubber compounds that allow for consistent grip in lower temperatures, and that's exactly what Continental's CrossContact Winter does for drivers of four-wheel drive light trucks and SUVs. An advanced silica compound works with an innovative tread pattern to improve traction and performance on ice and snow covered roads, and the CrossContact Winter's tread blocks improve cornering and handling in ice and snow by putting more of the tire on the road. The CrossContact Winter is built with durable materials to help promote a longer service life and to withstand the weight of heavy-duty light trucks and SUVs.
