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 ;)

Opel Astra H tires in size 205/55 / R16 T. I bought it as a novelty on the market in 2012. Now it will be the 4th winter on the tyres and about 20000 km. Riding aggressively mainly around the city, expressways, highways, city. My impression is - on dry very good. I had the opportunity to go winter on the highway at a speed of 180-205km \ h (temperature of -5 degrees, dry road, a little more than let index runs the drive T) quiet confident handling, no beatings, braking too well. On a wet great, great directional tread water discharges, despite the 4 seasons you can go up to 120-140km / h during the rain. Breaking is also very good in the wet. The snow tyre also very well performs, never had a problem in order to leave the garage, despite 15cm of fresh snow. On compacted snowl you can afford higher speeds than the rest of the drivers :) Another plus is the slow wear, 4th season starts and there is approximately 5-6 mm. I would buy tyres just after a snowfall. Great tyres on city and highway. Definitely to drive faster. Recommended to all :)

Oh it's such a great tyre. Low rolling resistance means cost-efficient driving, quiet (as for me), great handling in various conditions (tested with the first snowfall this year). I can recommend the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 to all of you out there.

Hello,Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 are mounted to Octavia II. Bought in 10/2013. Generally positive first impressions. However, due to the temperature of about 15 degrees, thetyre seems to be very soft. Feel is also while parking. It may cause slight floating. But I think that the more temperature falls the more stiff the tyre is. Appearance is the plus, so is the price and ADAC tests in 2013. After the winter, it will prove how it behaves on snow.

I did some tires. 4tys. km. Really good tires, but on the ice once surprised me. On the other car I have Dębice frigo and for normal to 120km / h do not see the difference. I used them in the East Polish, just this winter was wetter than snowy.

I drove on Conti TS850 (215/55/16) about 8000km mainly on the road at high speeds. Consumption can not (as Nowki). Tires are very stable and provide adequate adhesion even in slush. Could be a little more quiet. Nokia WRD3've used previously have been downgraded.

I bought a tire because of the good reviews in numerous tests, I wanted some running in snow and slush, and indeed in these conditions the tire performs well. My only comment to this tire is the noise level in the wet, while traveling through a rain-soaked asphalt whether in the city or on the road noise is unacceptable. Compared to the Michelin Alpin A5 is Continental falls much worse. Previously I had Nokian Snowtech 2 and honestly all I advise against this particular model of tire - in all conditions evil. My next choice would certainly Vredestein.

I can say already that the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 behaves rather well. It might be even a bit better in snow than on cold, frosen tarmac - you may find the wheels spinning and trying to find grip. And that is not happening with my car only, so I'm not really sure if it is the tyres or the BHP. It is good both in snow and on the tarmac. So yes. Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is a good tyre.

Before changing to winter tires with summer tires rode Nokian H which were quite quiet. After changing to winter tires ContiWinterContakt TS850 I was shocked that they are working on the sky quieter than summer Nokian H, until the damage was changed in the summer for the summer because these tires are super quiet. In the winter, mainly large town is little snow so I had no opportunity to test, but the sudden changes of weather sudden rain or snow drives sensational braking and pulling away without problems.
