The Continental ProContact TX is a premium grand touring all-season tire engineered for passenger cars and crossovers seeking a refined balance of year-round traction, long tread life, and a quiet, comfortable ride. As an Original Equipment (OE) tire for many vehicles, the ProContact TX is built to meet exacting performance standards across dry, wet, and light winter conditions.
All-Season Traction & Wet Performance
The ProContact TX features circumferential grooves that actively channel water away from the contact patch, delivering strong hydroplaning resistance. Detailed siping and strategically placed tread notches increase biting edges, maintaining confident grip in wet, dry, and light snow conditions. The tire carries the M+S designation, reflecting its capability in mud and snow.
Quiet & Comfortable Ride
A center rib design and specialized cushion compound work together to reduce road and tread noise, channeling sound waves through the footprint rather than into the cabin. The compound also absorbs road vibrations for a smooth, refined driving experience. Select sizes feature Continental's ContiSilent technology — a polyurethane foam layer bonded to the inner liner for further noise reduction — and ContiSeal, a proprietary inner-liner sealant that self-seals punctures from sharp objects in the tread area.
Enhanced Controllability & Fuel Efficiency
The ProContact TX's tread construction maintains consistent road contact throughout the tire's life, improving steering responsiveness and driving stability. Interlocking sipes and a silica-enhanced compound reduce rolling resistance to support improved fuel economy and lower CO₂ emissions.
Long Tread Life
A heat- and wear-resistant compound maximizes contact area and slows tread wear, backed by a 55,000-mile limited treadwear warranty for H-rated sizes. Every Continental ProContact TX is also covered by the Total Confidence Plan, which includes a 6-year workmanship and materials warranty and 1-year road hazard warranty.
