Continental Contiwintercontact Ts 860

205/55 R16 94H
The Conti WinterContact TS 860 is manufactured with the Cool Chili compound to deliver maximum braking performance in any wintry weather condition. Liquid Layer Drainage reduces the braking distance on frost-covered and icy roads. Snow Curve+ technology delivers safe snow cornering. Cool Chili is designed to deliver excellent wet grip. The compound's Winter Performance Resins and the Flexible Polymer Matrix helps the tyre stays flexible in winter weather. This means braking forces are transferred safely onto wet, icy and snow-covered roads. Liquid Layer Drainage uses a complex sipe channel system to dewater the tyre’s contact surface for better braking performance on icy and frost-covered roads. The liquid layer that can form on top of ice when it is melting is removed from the contact surface, resulting in outstanding braking performance, helping you to come to a stop faster. Snow Curve+ technology promotes safe cornering on snow-covered roads. The WinterContact TS 860's grip-enhanced 3D Groove Structure strengthens the interlocking of the tyre with snow-covered roads – especially when cornering. The snow does not only get compressed in the main tread groove but also in the tyre’s overall grip-enhanced grooved wall structure – at more than 1,000 spots all over the profile. This Snow+ Curve+ technology enables the tyre to transmit higher lateral forces and thereby provide a better overall grip while cornering.
