    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

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

The fitters were prompt and it took about an hour for them to finish. They also gave me tips on what pressure to use and other things. All the detail put into the explanation was reassuring.
