Product description & features

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P is an advanced winter tyre prioritising braking on wet roads and snow traction. The 870 P carries the 3PMSF marking. The Continental Cool Chili compound features the brand's signature flexible polymer matrix. This compound stays flexible in colder temperatures, and the groove pattern makes the rubber conform to wet surfaces for braking efficacy. The centre pattern of the 870 P has snow-capturing grooves. The grooves are designed to hold packed snow, making snow interlocking traction points with the road.

The TS 870 P is the successor to the TS 860 S in the Continental performance winter range. The TS 870 P has a couple variations. Some of those variations use ContiSeal, which is a sealing layer of rubber inside the tyre that heals small punctures in the tread. Other variations of the TS 870 P have reinforced sidewalls which sustain the vehicle after an air pressure loss. We sell the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P at Tyres.co.uk with the SSR runflat variations as well.

Highlights

  • Wet road braking and snow traction
  • 3PMSF winter marking
  • Sealing layer for small punctures
  • Reinforced sidewalls after pressure loss

Tyre review for Continental Winter Contact TS870 P 255/60R18 112V XL
I purchased these tyres and they meet my expectations for winter weather conditions. I change my regular alloys for summer tyres and then I change them with these on slightly smaller alloys. They do well in all conditions. They are good on dry roads (even if my regular alloys with road tyres may be grippier) and they handle better than all others in the rain. This winter has had a lot of snow and these tyres have performed really well in the snow with good grip. I would recommend these tyres to others. They are a really good option for winter driving.
