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

Brilliant tyres that give me a lot of confidence in cold, wet, and snowy conditions.

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 195/45R17 81H
As expected, these are winter tyres, and I've been using them for the winter season. So far, they've done well, even in milder and drier winter conditions (when summer tyres usually do better), they have good grip. There hasn't been a whole lot of snow this season, but they've done well in the snow that we've had.

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 195/45R17 81H
Terrible experience, had to change two individual tyres. The manufacturer did not want to do a warranty claim. Continental won't be the choice again.

While I've yet to try them out on snowy roads, they look to be excellent for extreme cold and icy conditions.
