Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Continental WinterContact TS 850 P belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
This tire performs well in dry conditions and also does well in the wet. Everything else is quite okay, too. However, I had issues with the lateral grip on snow — I was very disappointed in that regard. Because of this, I won’t be buying this tire again.
Another winter season over on these tyres and I am again very impressed. Although we did not get snow this winter, we did get plenty of weather below 7C including ice and a lot of cold wet weather and I found these tyres both grippy and extremely progressive. Wear has once again been good. The tyres are noisier and grumblier than my summer tyres, and the steering is lighter so feedback is not as good as in summer. On days where temperatures were over 7C the tyre was still good, but you could feel on corning that it was not as firm as usual.
The car I used was a Golf GTI mk7.5 and it worked extremely well! Living on the west coast of Sweden the weather during winter time is mostly rain with some snow and temperatures ranging from around -5 to +5 degrees celsius. Extremely good grip with a lot of control and predictability. Could actually push the tires a lot going out of corners, with good grip in the corners and really good braking performance! Really good tire!
Very bad wet grip
Ideal tyre for my BMW. Dry and wet handling is excellent also at warmer temperatures around 10/15 degrees. Low wear, low noise but quite stiff and rigid sidewall especially if compared to Goodyear tyres. I would highly recommend it
