Product description & features

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 is a passenger car winter tyre designed for optimal performance in both wet and snowy conditions. The directional design helps with the tyre's ability to evacuate slush and water as the temperature drops. It features a Chili compound which remains flexible in the cold to improve braking on wet roads. Its unique Hydro Groove design works with the tread channels to quickly evacuate water. The braking performance on snow covered roads is improved with the SnowCurve+ technology which adds the capability to the tyre to hold some snow within the tread design. This model also features the 3PMSF marking which means this tyre meets the required standards for severe snow service.

The WinterContact TS 870 P is the option for higher performance vehicles in this range. Tyres.co.uk stocks the WinterContact TS 870.

Highlights

  • Directional tread clears slush and water
  • Flexible cold-weather compound
  • Snow grip with tread-held snow
  • Three-peak snowflake winter marking

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 165/65R15 81T
Was great. My region received close to a foot of snow, drifting on the roads and staying around for almost three weeks. The car was stable and had good grip on inclines, and didn't slip on fresh or packed snow. The only real issue was on ice, where it did slip a little, but it was still easy to control.

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 165/65R15 81T
I see no negatives I believe these tyres helped me avoid a serious accident because they kept grip during a sudden stop on a wet road.
