20" Continental Cross Contact UHP Tyres. Fit for purpose?

Collected my new car yesterday, everything is fantastic, but slight concern about the tyres, on the spec sheet it said it would be fitted with Pirellis as my previous Land Rovers always had, but it has come with Continentals, has anyone experienced these Continentals in snow yet? or got any views?

Sorry Mike, can't help with what the contis are like in the snow but as mine came with them too I decided on a separate set of winter alloys and snow and ice tyres.

+1 The ContiCrossContact is marketed as a Street/Summer tyre. Has limited mud and snow grip.

They are OEM on BMW X5 which says it all really.

Ordered: 25th Jan 2012 - Completed: 8th March 2012

I have these on my RRS and they perform really well despite the fact they are not getting the absolutely best ratings. I am on my 2nd set and have been able to do on each close to 40K miles. I wold not worry about these tires.

Yes but fine on what? Tarmac and dry hard packed gravel maybe but they don't look that great for snow or mud. Anyone driven them in any of that?

Now Sold - Small, clean, fun car mainly for me - Sd4 Dynamic Lux - White/Black roof

Still going strong - Big, dirty, fun car mainly for the wife, kids and dog - Disco 4 - Blue (with lots of mud outside, sweets & litter inside)
