Continental WinterContact TS 860 S

Winter UHP tires for premium sports cars. Winter sports in its most dynamic form. Excellent snow performance for exceptional driving pleasure. Interlocking and interaction are crucial factors when it comes to traction and acceleration. Thanks to the special design of the traction grooves, the tread remains flexible and ensures optimized adaptation to snow-covered surfaces. Additionally, newly designed snow grooves enhance the capture and compression of snow, leading to increased interlocking with snow crystals on snowy terrains. The result is a significant improvement in traction and handling on winter roads. Best braking performance for maximum safety in winter. Stiffer tread elements mean higher power transmission on winter roads, resulting in better braking performance. For this reason, the blocks of the braking ribs have been divided by small lateral grooves. This increases the stiffness of the tread and improves the transfer of braking forces to the road. The result is shorter braking distances, especially during sporty driving in winter conditions. Excellent dry handling for maximum steering precision. A larger contact area leads to more control. For this reason, the WinterContact™ TS 860 S has been developed with wider and larger blocks on the outer shoulder. These improve lateral stiffness and increase the contact area between the tire and the road. The effect is maximum control and steering precision during cornering on dry winter roads. Exceptionally low rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption. Through a combination of innovative compound, tread design, and construction, the rolling resistance of the WinterContact™ TS 860 S has been significantly reduced. The result is high fuel savings without compromising safety.
