    Winter tyres:

Product description & features

The Continental WinterContact 8 S is a winter performance tyre. These tyres maintain grip in the winter because of the weather-resistant materials used in the tyre that allow it to maintain flexibility in the cold. The tyre tread has grooves that allow grip in the snow and slush and also channel the water away from the tyre. The design allows for a comfortable and stable drive on the motorways.

The WinterContact 8 S is designed for winter use and engineered for cold, slushy, and snowy conditions that require tyres to be flexible in the low temperatures. These tyres can also be used on vehicles that require more load capacity with the reinforced XL construction. You can find the Continental WinterContact 8 S and the WinterContact 8 S XL at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Winter performance tyre
  • Flexible in cold weather
  • Grooves for snow and slush
  • Reinforced XL load capacity

Tyre review for Continental WinterContact 8 S 265/40R20 104W XL
I must say, they changed the feeling of my car in dangerous situations. The last tyres I had didn't give me much confidence. Now I feel way more control even when the road is icy.
