Very balanced tire for all surfaces, of course, off the ice because there just spikes ;)

I have a lot to compare to other tires that I used before, or have company cars. These Continentale are great - very well suited to the compacted snow or slush, and other inventions I happened to almost push the company car from the parking lot in front of the store, because winter tyre not been able to move on packed snow! In addition, they are quiet, and not, as some Italian tires that were so loud and hard as if I was riding on the same rim.

After two weeks from having them fitted they saved me from having quite a crash. Outstanding grip in snow and very good braking in wet. It's worth paying a little extra for Continental ContiWinterContact TS850.

Tires are not the cheapest but riding on them probably do not have that feeling of insecurity. The tires are fully predictable. As for me, a little too loud on dry roads.

I would definitely recommend this tyre. It is no suprise Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 won mostof the tests. Great handling in snow and in wet. Relatively low rolling resistance, and smooth driving when it's dry. Perfect for people who like to put their feet down :)

I bought Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 as soon as they appeared, as the latest model. So now will already 3 winter on these tyres. I drive mostly in the city, from time to time somewhere further. Great city tyres. On dry very well, but only to a temperature of 10 degrees above feel like August bend in the rapidly taken the turns, and have an impression that they are too soft. In temperatures below 0 perfect. At 200km / h, no vibration (steel wheels). On a wet revelation, directional tread works, it is one of the strengths of the tires, great drainage of water. Another plus is the quietness. I have the impression that quieter than the summer Dunlops. On compacted snow also you can afford higher speeds. Another plus is the shelf life of 3 season begin already on the tyres and you cannot see a substantial loss, I think that 3-4 seasons are yet enough. The drawbacks of Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is driving on the roundabout with mud, lose their grip. Another drawback is the fuel consumption, compared to summer tyres has increased by about 0.8-1L per 100km. But maybe it’s just for the winter. Generally if the city and to drive faster is recommended.

Very cool tires that give comfort and driving confidence. For now, on dry and wet exercise sensational, and as you will see in the snow soon. For several years I ride practically only on Continental tires and so far never disappointed. I would recommend.

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 – Continental ContiWinterContact TS850. 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, Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is an outstanding city tyre. I have the T- version and I drove above its limit – no noise, no vibrations, simply perfect!

I drive on these tires since 2009 (summer and winter). While what the coming years will not change to another brand, unless you produce better tires.
