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.

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.
- Wet grip:
- Fuel efficiency:
