WINTERCONTACT TS 860 S : CONTINENTAL’S WINTER SPORTS TYRE

Continental has presented the WinterContact TS 860 S tyre at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). This sports version of the brand’s flagship winter tyre is designed to provide an enjoyable driving experience without compromising on safety.

A sports tyre for high performance vehicles

You may already be familiar with the WinterContact TS 860 which we tested last year on a Nissan Leaf. Now the sports version of this tyre, the WinterContact TS 860 S, has been revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

This all new tyre is set to replace the WinterContact TS 850 P, which proved popular among car manufacturers for offering the best possible winter performance for sports cars and had a total of 50 homologations.  As you might expect, Continental is already working with manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche to release customised versions of the new WinterContact TS 860 S.

Improved handling and braking

A sports cars just wouldn’t be a sports car without a set of high performance tyres. Continental knows this, and has developed the WinterContact TS 860 S to offer driving precision both in the dry and in snow using wide solid blocks on the tread shoulder.

The central grooves of the tread and the traction sipes on the tread blocks are designed to guarantee high performance and a sporty feel even in snow. The wide central groove works to minimize braking distances in winter conditions.

The new tyre comes with the 3PMSF marking on its sidewall, certifying its winter performance. Design-wise Continental has adopted the checkered look of the SportContact 6.

Availability

The Continental WinterContact TS 860 S is available since the Autumn of 2017 in 14 sizes from 18 to 21 inches. Six of these models will come with Continental's SSR runflat and ContiSilent technologies.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
