About Continental CrossContact LX Sport 275/40 R22 108Y

Wet-Road Performance

The CrossContact LX Sport is designed with a road-oriented tread pattern intended to maintain consistent contact on wet and dry paved surfaces. The available EU tyre-label data for this 275/40 R22 108Y specification lists a C wet-grip rating, providing a defined reference for its wet-road performance.

Wet Braking

The C wet-grip classification indicates a mid-range EU wet-braking category for the specified tyre. Actual braking distances depend on road surface, tyre condition, inflation pressure, vehicle weight and driving conditions.

Dry-Road Handling

The 275 mm section width provides a broad contact area, while the 40-series profile and reinforced XL construction support stable handling on large SUVs and compatible passenger vehicles. The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h under the applicable conditions.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The 40-series profile balances the requirements of a large 22-inch wheel with road-driving comfort. The specified 2024 version is listed with 73 dB external rolling noise. Some versions of the 275/40 R22 specification are also offered with Continental ContiSilent technology, so the exact sidewall marking should be checked before listing that feature as standard.

Rolling Resistance

The available EU label data lists a C fuel-efficiency rating for the 2024 275/40 R22 108Y version. This represents the tyre's standardized rolling-resistance classification and can vary slightly between specific constructions or homologated versions.

All-Season Road Use

The CrossContact LX Sport 275/40 R22 108Y is listed by Continental's Azerbaijan product catalogue as a four-season tyre and carries M+S marking. The available specification does not confirm a 3PMSF marking, so it should not be treated as a dedicated severe-winter tyre.

Load Capacity

The 108 load index corresponds to a maximum rated load of 1,000 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. The XL construction is intended for applications requiring increased load capacity, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre specification.

Y Speed Rating

The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h. This rating must be considered together with the 108 load index, correct inflation pressure and the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre requirements.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 275/40 R22 108Y specification is used on selected large SUVs and premium vehicles. Current listings associate this size with vehicles including the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé and GLS, but exact compatibility depends on the vehicle year, drivetrain, axle position and manufacturer's approved specification.
