I wanted to buy Firestone Multihawk 1 but they are no longer being manufactured, that’s why I was looking for tyres with similar tread – and I found Continentals. I drove 1 season on Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 and I am very happy of that choice. Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is very silent and I had an impression that the comfort is better with them equipped than with my summer Dunlops. It is very good on snow and I had never had any problems with getting out of snowy road. You have to be careful for the slush on a roundabout as the car may occasionally lose its grip but that might be due to the fact that I’m riding a diesel car with a large engine. Very good on wet but quite noisy. No signs of wear. The only disadvantage is the price – I’ve bought some time ago and few days later their price dropped down at 30%. Another disadvantage is fuel consumption, which rose at 1L every 60 miles. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding city tyre. I have the T- version and I drove above its limit – no noise, no vibrations, simply perfect!

I bought the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 rather cheap, together with fittin in Harrow and straight away went for a return journey of 100 miles. Perfect, spring-like conditions, about 10 degrees Celcius and dry tarmac. It is quiet and grips through the bends. I had a chance to test them in a number of other conditions and i am sure it will fit the bill. The previous tyres, Goodyears, stayed on my car for five years, so I imagine they were to be trashed already. It also made me appreciate the brand new rubber. Overall, the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 are definitely to be recommended, however not if you like to push your car to the limit ;)

Before buying long I wondered about the choice. I put on Continental and very happy. A few seasons ago, I chose the Michelin brand and was very disappointed. After one winter season took half the tread.

At the beginning a little discouraged me the price, but more important to me is the security they often travel with family. Its class realized when at a speed of approx. 80 km / h landed on black ice. Despite the lack of grip and lightweight support electronics tires do not fall into the slip, I did not lose control of the vehicle even though I ate quite a lot to fear, because at that speed everything happens very quickly. Then underestimated purchase these tires and I do not regret the money spent, because safety is paramount. I can not imagine what would have happened if I had poor tires or the bottom shelf. Maybe even I could now write this review .....

Tires tested both in the town, on highways and in the paths of tiny settlements. Always checking without reservations. Not terrible it dry and relatively warm (last winter abound in warm weather) road and generous portions snow. Sharp braking on dry in the warmer days does not lead to squealing tires without the intervention of ABS option box. And great, balanced between softness (drainage or dry pavement) and hardness (sharp frost or snow).

Tires exercise smoothly. Tire quality is satisfactory. If we value your safety is worth it to take care of good tires. The price for the quality of these tires is accessible. It is worth to buy them. The tires are quiet, comfortable, well hold on the road and have a good price.

So far it was only a few cold days with snow, but the tires worked well in 100%. I recommend.

Hello. I ride every day around 50 km to work in both the highway and through the city. I am very happy with the tires especially with some running on the wet asphalt. What to driving on snow is my personal impression is that type tires Debica Frigo or Mabor Winter Jet cope better Thanks to the "winter" we have, however, often we go on wet or dry asphalt so the tires was estimated at 5

Good tires that meet fully their task. It could be a bit quieter, but otherwise very good.
