Firstly, I wanted to buy Firestone WinterHawk 1 but these are not being manufactured anymore. That is why I kept on searching for tyres with a similar tread. I chose Continental ContiWinterContact TS850. I have been using them for one winter season and I am satisfied with their quality. The tyres are quiet and I have an impression that the car drives better than on my summer Dunlops. The driving is quiet and comfortable and very safe in snow. I have never had problems on road with these tyres. They provide really good grip even if you drive a diesel with a high torque on a roundabout, They are great in rainy weather but I think they are a bit louder in wet conditions (I would not say it is a drawback - it is rather normal). When it comes to pure ice roads, it is obvious that only the snow tyres with spikes would be useful there. However, I have not noticed any signs of wear on the tyres. They could have been a bit cheaper but still the price is quite reasonable. The fuel consumption has not changed significantly. Generally speaking it is a pleasure to drive a car on these tyres. I recommend them to everyone who drives often in the city. I have tyres with the T speed rating (up to 118 mph) and I have driven on them with the max. speed of 130 mph. I have not experienced any vibrations or noise at all. It is simply luxe:)

I would definitely recommend the tire, I never missed the first two seasons and road leads to the house in the mountains where I have a slope of about 30% without chains in winter!. Very well keep the two sub-20C temperatures and intermediate type + 5 In addition, you must add that were used in the BMW (rear wheel drive). I have not experienced the drag and other negative aspects associated with winter. The tires are silent when it comes to strength rating is + solid four years have led 38 thousand miles and worn. The general assessment is that buying again.

These tires is approx. 7.000 miles. km. . Same pleasure felt when assuming Conti Winter Contact tires made the first mile. My impression and a positive vision persists today. The tires are quiet, durable (I have not found excessive wear), and especially, riding on them, I feel I can rely on them for security.

Cool tires that give comfort and driving confidence. For now, the dry and wet sensational year, and as you'll see in the snow soon. For several years, I ride almost exclusively on Continental tires and so far never disappointed. I recommend.

Very good and quiet tire. Holds the road well. Removes inequality. Przejeździłem winter, it is true, but little snow conditions were different, and I'm happy with it. I recommend.

Tires really well both in the wet and on snow. The only thing you can find fault with it is that it is a bit noisy. But it's not in the winter is the most important.

Great performance tires on wet and dry surfaces. The tires are quieter than winter tires that also burn the same as summer tires, which is a big plus.
