Continental WinterContact TS 850 P - User reviews

I bought these to drive down and up from a French ski station - usually on a mix of tarmac and hard snow/ice and sometimes on fresh and falling snow. We have stayed the last two seasons in the resort. I have never felt the need for socks or chains. I can't say I notice the difference in noise or economy from my summer tyres but I change them over on return to the UK and put them on just before we go out early Jan. Excellent combination with the XC 60. Ordering and delivery were simple (direct to the Volvo dealer who fitted them)

The tyres are very quiet and stick to the road in dry on wet condition! Probably the best tyre I have ever had! Good value for money! I recommend

You can really feel the difference with these winter tires, they have excellent grip which gives the car good handling and maneuverability. Great at stopping in the snow and wet. You can really feel the stopping power with these tires fitted. Continental tires what more can you say !

Very good tyres. First of all, the car hold perfect on the road and you can not hear any noise. I have looked for such tyres and I am very pleased, although they were not cheap.

I am very happy with purchase. The tyre provides very good grip on snow as well as on wet surfaces, also when driving dynamically. As for the winter tyre is quite quiet and comfortable.

I always bought expensive premium class tyre to my car.. Usually it was Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli, Yokohama or Pirelli Sotto Zero tyres. All of those tyres were very good, I cant complain but Continental are great because now I drive a Toyota Avalon Limited 3.5 petrol 286KM and the tyes behave well even at very high speeds!.

I would recommend Continental tyres anyone who cares about the safety and quality of the tyres. As for me, keep tyres got better in the wet than my summer tyres (wider), acceleration also is effective, well tyre sticks to the asphalt.

First of all Continental are the best tyres ever! Very good tyres, Great value. I was pleasantly surprised how I could drive at 70mph and brake and stop quite quickly. These tyres are extremely quiet and when it comes to grip and wear, they exceeded my expectations, markedly. They provide extremely good value for money. I will definitely buy another set of Continental winter tyres. Meet my expectations I would 100% recommend this tyre and the Continental tyre company. Do not hesitate to buy Continental tyres
