Continental have developed the WinterContact TS 860 as a winter tyre for passenger cars. It has been designed to deliver strong braking performance and handling in cold, wet, icy and snowy conditions.

It combines advanced compound and tread technologies - in order to to maintain flexibility and grip throughout winter driving.

Cool Chili Compound Performance

The tyre uses a Maximum Traction Silica compound known as Cool Chili, designed to remain flexible at low temperatures. This flexibility allows the tyre to maintain effective contact with the road surface. 

Liquid Layer Drainage Technology

A network of sipes and channels works to reduce the thin layer of water that forms on icy and frost-covered roads. This Liquid Layer Drainage system helps improve contact between the tyre and the road surface. 

Snow Curve Plus Handling Design

Snow Curve+ technology increases the number of contact points with snow across the tyre surface. This allows the tread to compress and grip snow more effectively during cornering.
