German premium quality is once again on Europe's roads with Continental WinterContact TS 870P winter tyres. Performance tyres are the solution for all drivers who refuse to compromise on quality. State-of-the-art tread, advanced technology and a revolutionised rubber compound - all to offer safety and performance in the harshest conditions.


The Continental brand specialists perfectly understand that winter in the European climate is no longer just about snow and frost, but increasingly also about high temperatures and rain. That's why they've developed a new tread that copes with all winter road conditions:


Snow is no challenge for these tyres, thanks to an optimised tread with a steeply angled parallel sipe system. They grip the powder snow on the road, thus increasing traction while driving. The long edges also help to shorten braking distances in winter conditions.


Rain and wet pavement are increasingly prevalent conditions in autumn and winter. Continental tyres use the new generation CoolChilli compound, which improves traction on the water- and mud-covered surfaces. In addition, the tyre features Hydro grooves, which help reduce the risk of aquaplaning.


Dry road conditions are also common during the winter months. That's why it's so important to have flexible tyres, to help them adapt to all types of road surfaces. This is thanks to a new polymer matrix that allows the tyre to work evenly while reducing rolling resistance and extending tyre life.

    Opinion from outside IE

    I am happy with the tyres I have bought. I have a bit of an uphill walk to the garage - finally I don't have to shovel snow from the road. They also perform very well on dry and wet pavement. I think the tyres are worth recommending and also at a good price. Read more Collapse
