I would recommend. First snow on the tyre. Leaving kopnego 25cm of snow. - Fairy Tale! Starting off a little worse but 150 hp to move the snow is not easy. No and braking - rewelka!. But to activate the ABS wheel slip is no I wryty.Wyprzedzanie in ruts - super - cut drifts as nozem.I recommend everything that's not afraid of winter and enjoy the snow pobrykać. Guaranteed satisfaction and safety.

The first season on these tyres, and already this morning the snow sniegi.Dziś the thresholds in the car and a pleasant surprise I went without a problem even brushing the snow behind the car. Next door neighbors had front-tył.No fan and braking rewelka. I had previously Michelin Alpin were great but also beat them with conti hamowaniu.I recommend especially if someone likes poszaleś winter the snow - I like to chase my 150HP time :).

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.

Before I bought Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830, I used some Michelins. They were really bad. Maybe because they were a bit old already. But the tread was about 7 mm, so it's hard for me to say. In any case, in the corners they may the car swerve off its driving lane, and on straights you had to be very careful I know one thing - I won't buy Michelins ever again. I have a bad experience with them even when it came to bike tyres - once when braking, my rear wheel swerved off to the side! This is just terrible. Dangerous for your health and life. As all other French products, I guess... However, Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 is simply sensational. I forgot what it means to have a problem of driving out of snow or driving in deep snow - the drive is the same as in summer on a paved road. On ice they slide a bit, but it's normal. What's important - you don't lose control on the ice and you can feel and see that you slow down when braking. I have a heavy car - 1700 kgs, with a big 3.0 l engine, and rear wheel drive. These tyres really give me a feeling of safety. You can drive confidently even at higher speeds. I can recommend Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 with all my heart, they are simply great, and I'm totally satisfied with this purchase.

Very good tyres on them already przejeździłem 2 seasons and have no signs of use (except for a tiny bulge on the side from hitting a curb). A very good winter tyre behavior in virtually all conditions. I do not recommend at temperatures above 10stC swimming braking feel but that's normal because it's winter tyre and is very soft.

Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 are my first winter tyres, since this is my first car, but it doesn't mean that I have no experience, because every day I drive a lot of cars, from vans to large SUVs and covered more mileage than many so-called "experienced drivers". I have them fitted to a VW New Beetle with 1.8 T 150 HP engine. I decided to get 205/55R16 tyres because I had an opportunity to drive on 195/60R15 tyres and I felt they were too narrow, even for winter. Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 do quite a good job. I think they could be a bit better on snow, but I find them very good anyways.

Previously, I used some other tyres which were really poor. Maybe because they were a bit old. But they still had about 7 mm of tread, so It's hard to say. In the corners they were a disaster, as well as on straights. And my new Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 were fantastic. I forgot what problems with snow are. They slightly slide on the ice, but it is typical for every non-studded tyre. What is important is that you don't lose control both on ice and snow, even when braking. I have a heavy car with a large engine. These tyres really give you a feeling of safety. They are quiet even at high speeds. Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 can be definitely recommended, they are fantastic and I am very happy with my purchase.

I switched to Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 from Dunlop winter tyres. It's a completely different tyre - of course, my old winter tyres were after three seasons and only had half of their tread, so it's hard to compare with a new tyre, but I remember how the car behaved on new Dunlops and how it behaves now, on new Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830. We all know how the winter looks this year. I read tests etc. and I decided to get these tyres, which was the ADAC test winner, and I was not disappointed. The handling of the car is incredible on these tyres. I would like to add that I drive a car with rear wheel drive. ESP and ASR switches on much later. and you have full control even in a light slide. I also got shocked when I started to brake. This tyre brakes sensationally, I don't want to say it does like a studded tyre because I would exxagerate, but overall the braking is great. I definitely can recommend Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 with a clear conscience.
