Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 - User reviews

Sort:
Tomy

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.

After one winter tires is satisfactory, although the winter was not especially heavy. They are fairly quiet and thanks to low (I think) rolling resistance, fuel consumption has not increased compared to the summer season. Despite a fairly aggressive driving, braking is certain, and cornering the tires are holding up very well. On the previous tires (Pirelli Winter) przejeździłem 8 seasons without fear and I hope that the Continental-e will be as durable.

This is a very good tire for snow, a little loud, braking on wet to dry like decent. How were the new car a little snooping on the way. Total tire good.

I've had these for 28k miles and they lasted well because they are a winter tire designed for colder conditions. The noise was moderate and good grip in wet conditions, I have not had the opportunity to test them in the snow and ice we had no last year. I recommend this as a good tire for the price and very durable, shoulders first address these at an early stage rotation is required.

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.

Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is a decent tyre, good grip on bands and rough road. The only problem is braking: it can cause ABS to turn on in the most absurd moments ( aggressive driving is not taken under consideration ), making braking quite unpredictable and risky. It happened to me to ride Dębica Frigo at the same time as the tyre and the first ones brake better and drive on snow but lose their grip on bands. Michelin’s Alpine leave Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 way behind. I think that my opinion is not to be taken seriously as I have my car repaired ( suspension and brakes were exchanged ) so it’s condition had no influence on this judgement.

Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is good but I think I prefer Goodyears and Nokians.

Tires typically on snow and is not suitable for the use in temperate or below 7C when there is no snow on the roads. It must be just wet to dry when it is used up at an alarming rate. Overall I would recommend.

Overall a good tire at a decent price, but after the company was expecting more. Tire loud especially on wet roads after rain. In contrast, driving on ice and packed snow - I was expecting more after these opnach. In the end, the company undertakes brand. Generally, no nuts.
