WinterContact™ TS 870
new

All winter tyres are the same. Until the streets turn white.

With the invention of the first tyre with a tread-design in 1904, we created the basis for today’s tyre technology. Since then we have constantly improved the performance of our tyres from year to year. And although you probably won’t see the difference, you will definitely experience what makes the new WinterContact so outstanding.

  • Keep cool and enjoy perfect control on snowy and icy roads.
  • Stay in lane with outstanding wet braking and aquaplaning resistance.
  • Cover long distances with low fuel consumption.

Technical details

Technical details

Start

You can keep cool when the roads become ice cold.

When snow falls and covers icy streets, you can be sure that our new Triple Sipe Concept will provide reliable control and a minimised braking distance, so that you can simply enjoy your winter ride.

Start

You can trust what’s underneath when you don’t know what comes from above.

Since winter isn’t always white and beautiful, but often wet and slushy, we developed the Cool Chili™ Compound to optimise wet braking. With the help of our Hydro Grooves you can even master aquaplaning. So, when it’s raining cats and dogs, just enjoy a comfortable ride.

Start

You can cover long distances with low fuel consumption.

When your winter journey takes longer and longer, this tyre lasts longer. The compound with its Performance Resins and a Flexible Polymer Matrix provides high mileage and low fuel consumption. So, wherever you go: enjoy the good feeling of ‘no distance too far’.

Test results

Test results

The German magazine Auto Straßenverkehr has published in their current issue (20/2021) the Winter Tire Test 2021. The tested tire size was 195/55 R16, test vehicle was a VW Polo/Seat Ibiza.

The result is similar to the one from auto motor und sport, but the cost of the tire is additionally part of the weighting. 

The test was conducted by Auto Straßenverkehr at the following proving grounds: Nokian, Ivalo, Finland (snow) and Contidrom, Jeversen, Germany (wet and dry).

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.
