Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS 830 - User reviews

Sort:

5.0

Translation

Purchased in 2010, based on the tests, winning virtually all. During the winters I have had many different situations where roadster tires M + S fell into a skid, Golf on Conti on rails, where everyone could not drive uphill, even the new BMW xDrive, Golf on Conti gave council (great view as overtaking X5 grinding tires in place). Superb inhibit, on dry, wet and snow. Traction in all conditions exemplary.

I chose these tyres after reading ADAC winter tyres test results. What also helped, they were on 25% off offer, which made the set cost less than £400 including fitting. I was extremely happy with the purchase and I can recommend them to anybody! The only down side could be the price, but you get what you pay for.

These are my first winter tyres so it's hard for me to compare them with some other models, but they behave as I expected. Low noise level while driving, great look, and you can easily plough through the snow and slush as if you were on dry pavement. As for driving on ice, I can't assess it properly as I don't recall driving typically on such surface. On dry they also behave well. In higher temperatures they become sognificantly softer so it's worth changing to summer tyres as soon as winter ends. I did ca. 4200 miles in winter and I can say that Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 makes your ride very comfortable. I didn't notice any signs of wear after this period. Overall, I am very pleased with Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830. They do the job just as I expected and I recommend them with a clear conscience.

The size of my Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 tyres is 185/65R15. The tyres have very soft rubber compound - I thought that I would destroy the tyre when I accidentally hit a hole. The behaviour of the tyres in dry conditions at 90 MPH is marvellous. They are almost inaudible and do not mix with the sound of the engine (1.9 DCI). I also had an emergency situation at ca. 50 MPH - I had to make a sudden maneuver, and the car didn't swerve at all. The car behaved exactly as I wanted. The behaviour of Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 on wet surface is also very predictable. I could drive through deep puddles of water without any problems. Braking is also good. They don't fall into aquaplaning, both during sudden braking (ABS is switched on, of course) and in the corners. And now the best. Behaviour on snow. Paved road, snow, speed of 45 MPH and the car behaves as if it was on dry surface, even in tight corners! I had a situation where the guy behind me was driving an Audi 80, I don't know what tyres he had, but he was on my rear bumper almost till the end, where he swerved off into the outside lane (luckily it was free). When it comes to behaviour on ice, of course there will be no miracle and only studded tyres will be good. However, I can recommend Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 with a clear conscience.

Very good tyres for the winter. Great stick in the corners and in slush. Especially good hold on the water and in the rain. Very low noise level. Minimal attrition after one season is not noticeable. Very well proven in the Vectra c 150HP. Recommend, well-balanced price-performance ratio.

Worked in really difficult conditions in northern Sweden. On the ice behaved as if they had spikes. Worked well on dry, zmarznietym and przewianym snow. On the well-kept slush track. I would recommend with confidence.
