Start
1_ts850p_traction

Hit the road and trust in tires, that will stick to it.

Peace of mind while driving along a snowy road is not a coincidence: it’s more likely because of our S-GRIP pattern, designed for enhanced snow traction to keep you in control.

Start
2_ts850p_handling

Stay in control and feel confident wherever you go.

There are many reasons to stay at home in winter and two reasons to go wherever you want: On one hand: “PrecisionPlus” guarantees optimized handling on snowy ground. And on the other: “PowerSipes” is built to provide outstanding dry handling.

Start
3_ts850p_braking

Look forward to long journeys and rely on short braking distance.

Equipped with our superior technologies, this tire takes you safely wherever you want to go and helps you stop immediately whenever you have to.

Technologies

Technologies

The following technologies are available for this tire but not for each size. Please check here if one of these technolgies is available for your tire size.

ContiSeal

ContiSeal™ is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread. In case of penetration by foreign objects such as nails, there is no need for immediate roadside tire changes, and holes remain sealed even if the puncturing object becomes dislodged. ContiSeal™ is a sticky, viscous sealant layer. It is applied to the inside of the tire in the tread area. ContiSeal™ seals 80% of all tire punctures and therefore reduces the risk of flat tires. ContiSeal™ tires are marked clearly with a symbol on the sidewall and are compatible with all commonly available rims.

ContiSilent

ContiSilent™ is a tire noise-reducing technology developed by Continental. It is designed to reduce interior noise on all road surfaces. ContiSilent™ tires are equipped with an inner tire absorber, a polyurethane foam, attached to the inner surface of the tread area with an adhesive. Regardless of the temperature, the structure of the foam stays intact. ContiSilent™ helps reduce interior vehicle noise up to 9 dB(A), depending on the type of vehicle, its speed and the road surface.

SSR

topic_intro_image1

The SSR system is a runflat technology developed by Continental especially for low section tires, which still keeps the tires compatible with all standard rims. The SSR principle is based on a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. In case of a puncture, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the rim and the road, and the tire from slipping off the rim, which makes a spare tire obsolete. Not having to carry a spare tire means a reduction in weight, which improves fuel efficiency. It also adds up to 80 litres of free space in the trunk. Fitting on four positions is highly recommended, if not yet mandatory by law and a tire repair is not allowed.

EU Tire Label

EU tire label

  • Wet grip:

    Secure grip in wet conditions is crucial for safe driving. Performance is graded into classes, A to G (although D and G are not currently used). The stopping distance between a class A tire and a class F tire can be as much as 18 metres.

  • Fuel efficiency:

    Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with each subsequent class through to G increasing fuel consumption by between 0.42 and 0.56 mpg for a car which does 36 mpg.

  • Rolling noise:

    This is the external noise made by the tire and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tires.
