Product description & features
The Continental WinterContact TS850 P is a premium winter tyre built for modern cars with a focus on secure control when temperatures drop. Designed for everyday UK winter driving, it delivers dependable traction on snow and slush while remaining reassuring on cold, wet roads, helping you keep confident braking and steering feel through the season.
Its tread pattern uses a dense network of sipes to create extra biting edges, improving grip during pull-away and braking on compacted snow. Wide circumferential grooves help move water and slush away from the contact patch to reduce the risk of aquaplaning, while the more rigid shoulder blocks support stable cornering on clear but chilly roads. A winter-focused compound stays more flexible in low temperatures, helping the tyre maintain consistent grip rather than feeling hard or skittish.
In independent European winter tyre tests, this model has been highly rated for key safety areas such as snow performance and wet-road control.
WinterContact TS850 P tyres are available in a wide range of fitments, including many popular 16–21" sizes, with selected reinforced (XL) and runflat versions where specified for your vehicle. You can buy online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, then choose fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or opt for delivery.
