  • 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 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 195/45R16 84V XL
The tyres are excellent. They are mounted on the rear so I cannot talk about the way they handle, but they certainly feel stable.

These tyres were purchased for a trip to Austria, and I can say they had no issues and handled remarkably in rain, ice and snow.
