Technical details

Technical details

Start

Cool Chili™ ensures maximum braking performance in any wintry weather condition.

The Maximum Traction Silica Compound ensures excellent wet grip and therefore improves braking performance significantly. Additionally the WinterContact™ TS 860 stays flexible at any winter weather and transfers the braking forces safely onto wet, icy and snow-covered roads.

Start

Liquid Layer Drainage™ reduces the braking distance on frost-covered and icy roads.

This new sipe channel system helps to constantly dewater the tires' contact surface for an improved braking performance on icy and frost-covered roads. This special drainage eliminates the danger of deteriorated braking performance caused by melting water, which supports faster braking.

Start

Snow Curve+ technology for safe cornering on snow-covered roads.

The new WinterContact™ TS 860 strenghtens the interlocking of the tire with snow-covered roads via the new Snow Curve+ technology. By compressing the snow at more than 1000 spots all over the profile, it provides a better overall grip, especially while cornering.

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.

The German magazine Auto Bild has published in issue 39/2019 their “Winter Tire Super Test 2018”. The tested tire size was 225/45 R17 91/94 H/V, test vehicle was a BMW 1-series.

This test is a special test with 53 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)

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.
