Continental WinterContact TS 860 S

225/55 R17 101H
Designed with sports and high-powered cars in mind, the Continental WinterContact TS 860 S is made in customised versions for original equipment supply and also for the replacement tyre market. The range contains dimensions for 18- to 21-inch rim diameters and approvals for speeds of up to 168mph. With the WinterContact TS 860 S, Continental says it is responding to the many different needs of those who manufacture and those who drive high-performance cars. During the tyre’s development, the priority was therefore upon short braking distances and precision handling in the dry, as well as on top-class handling properties on snow. A short braking distance was achieved by means of its ‘braking groove – a wide groove running through the centre of the tread, offering a large surface with which to build up grip.
