Product description & features

Continental Winter Contact TS850 P tyres are designed for drivers of performance-focused cars and many SUV fitments who need dependable control through the UK winter. Built for cold temperatures, they help you stay confident on wet roads, slush and compacted snow, making them a strong choice for commuting, motorway miles and long winter journeys (they should be swapped out when temperatures rise).

The tread pattern uses a dense network of biting edges and carefully shaped blocks to improve traction when pulling away and to shorten braking distances in wintry conditions. Wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder channels help move water and slush away from the contact patch, supporting stable steering and reducing the risk of aquaplaning when roads are saturated.

Underneath, the Continental winter compound stays more flexible in low temperatures, helping the tyre maintain grip without feeling vague. The casing is tuned for precise high-speed stability, while the tread layout is engineered to keep road noise and vibration in check. Many sizes are available for 16–21 inch rims, with selected load-rated options suited to heavier vehicles.

In independent European winter tyre tests, the Continental Winter Contact TS850 P has often achieved top-tier ratings for balanced wet and snow performance (results vary by size). You can buy it online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, choosing fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or delivery to suit your plans.
