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 215/55R16 93H
These tyres are excellent in snow, mud, and slush. Just what I need to drive 50 miles each way on an icy and risky road every day. No tyres are good on ice, however, these do manage other winter obstacles very well to the point that I get to work when other people (including those who live much closer) cannot. I only use these in winter and I switch to more economical and rain friendly tyres in late March.

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 215/55R16 93H
These tyres are fantastic in snowy, muddy, and slushy conditions, just what I needed for my daily commute, which involves 50 miles each way on roads that become quite dangerous in winter. Although no tyre handles ice well, these manage other winter challenges excellently, often allowing me to reach work when others can't, even those who live much nearer. I use them only in winter, switching to more economical and rain-friendly tyres around late March.

I bought these in the winter for my daughter's vehicle and since they are all-season tyres, I have faith in their durability.
