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 snowy surfaces. Newly designed snow grooves improve the capture and compression of snow, leading to enhanced interlocking with snow crystals on snowy terrain. The result is a significant increase in traction and handling on winter roads. Superior braking performance for maximum safety in winter. Stiffer tread elements mean higher power transfer to winter roads, resulting in better braking performance. The blocks of the braking ribs are divided by small lateral grooves, which 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. Outstanding dry handling for the highest steering precision. A larger contact area leads to more control. The WinterContact™ TS 860 S has been developed with wider and larger blocks on the outer shoulder to improve side 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 the 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.
