I bought a set of Continental ContiWinterContact TS800 at the beginning of October, That was based on the opinions I found in the Internet. They do their job both in dry and on the wet. I had a chance to test them on the wet snow as well and I was terrified! It felt as if I had slick or completely worn tyres. Lots of tyre spinning, even when in the third gear! If you take your foot off the accelerator it is more than certain that you will spin. Braking in not satisfactory either - ABS has lots of work here. I hope they will wear soon and I will by something else then. I may add that on my other car I have a Debica Frigo (directional, budget tyre) and it is definitely better than this one.

I am not pleased at all and I would recommend to aviod this tyre if possible. I am surprised by how much people charge for it! The Sale prices say it all. I think they might have them stored in warehouses for too long and they just get old there. The Continental ContiWinterContact TS800 is a right choice for people who like a bit of adrenaline. Driving in slush is a lottery cause you never know when it will make you lose control over the car. In snow there are problems with braking and pulling off, especiall when the snow becomes hard. It might be good in the Netherlands or in west Germany - black and wet roads only. I had a chance to test them recently in Germany. I will write this again, if the road is black then you're OK. If not it's better to take the bus.

Translation

I will never guided by opinions from the Internet. I might as well buy Debica. Clear difference in price, but in terms of ride comfort small, especially in a typical winter conditions.
