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.

The German magazine Auto Bild has published in issue 38/2020 their Winter Tire Super Test 2020. 

The tested tire size was 245/45 R18 100 V, test vehicle was a BMW 5-series.

This test is a special test with 51 participating products. The evaluation consists of 3 parts:

Part 1: Wet braking test: selection of the best 30 products

Part 2: Snow braking test of these 30 products: selection of the best 20 Products, the so called "finalists".

Part 3: Complete test of only the finalists including wear performance and price.

The test was conducted by Auto Bild on following proving grounds:

  • Bridgestone, Rome, Italy (wear test machine)
  • Contidrom, Jeversen, Germany (dry and wet tests)
  • Continental, Arvidsjaur, Sweden (winter tests)
  • About our TS 850 P (produced in Lousado)

+ Specialist on wet surface with sporty and dynamic handling properties at all weather conditions

+ Precise steering behavior

+ Very good wear performance

- Longer dry braking distance

- higher price level

EU Tire Label

EU Tire Label

Wet grip

The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.

Fuel efficiency

Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.

Noise level

This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.  

Additional pictograms for snow and icy conditions

In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).


With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
