Continental ContiWinterContact TS830 is a premium winter tyre designed for medium and high class passenger cars with powerful engines. The tyre reaches perfect operational parameters during braking on snow, ice and mud, ensuring road safety regardless of weather conditions.
The model offers superior braking on extremely difficult surfaces thanks to the large number of blocks on the shoulder and a large surface of 'cutting' edges. The tyre gives shorter braking distances on wet roads due to the use of stiffer blocks in the central part of the tread and a large number of sipes. On dry surfaces, excellent performance is supported by a stiffer belt. It makes the drive stable and the communication between the steering system and tyre faster. The model has a directional tread pattern, which works very well on wet surfaces. As a result of the arrow-shaped arrangement of grooves, the model more efficiently removes water, which translates into a lower risk of aquaplaning. The designers took care of the optimum distribution of forces acting upon the tyre. Consequently, the wear is slower and more uniform, enabling Continental ContiWinterContact TS830 to offer you full performance throughout its service life without worrying about deteriorating grip and other parameters over time. This model will meet the expectations of drivers who expect durable and reliable tyres.
