Product description

  • High performance winter tyre for compact, city and family cars.
  • High level of safety and enhanced mobility on snow and ice.
  • Higher mileage performance.

Continental developers have used the latest technologies for the WinterContact TS 870 winter tyre to optimise its performance on snow and ice and increase its mileage.

Braking distances are 5% shorter on ice than its predecessor thanks to 10% more tread blocks.

The multiple biting edges and sipes which act like windshield wipers clear the film of water to provide good control on ice.

The tread provides a large number of biting edges to deliver good straight line and cornering grip and traction on snowy roads.

3D interlocking sipes provide additional grip to drive in deep snow.

The tread compound improves wet braking performance.

Water is quickly evacuated through the central groove to offer a high resistance to aquaplaning.

7% more miles and 4% lower rolling resistance thanks to the flexible Cool Chili compound which increases the contact patch with the road.

Tyre classified as one of the quietest in its category.

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.
