These tyres are good in all conditions, in snow, I go where others can't. In wet I stop in less distance than with "normal" tyres.In the dry they feel predictable and planted. Why would I ever want a different tyre, even in warmer weather? Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK
After two weeks from having them fitted they saved me from having quite a crash. Outstanding grip in snow and very good braking in wet. It's worth paying a little extra for Continental ContiWinterContact TS850. Read more Collapse

On my second set after three years' constant use. Nothing wrong with the old set, just not quite so grippy in the snow after such a long time. Even coped pretty well with heatwave in July. Read more Collapse

I chose these tyres as they were recommended by Which magazine. They have been excellent in very poor conditions of snow and ice. We live in a remote part of the Highlands of Scotland. Read more Collapse

At the beginning a little discouraged me the price, but more important to me is the security they often travel with family. Its class realized when at a speed of approx. 80 km / h landed on black ice. Despite the lack of grip and lightweight support electronics tires do not fall into the slip, I did not lose control of the vehicle even though I ate quite a lot to fear, because at that speed everything happens very quickly. Then underestimated purchase these tires and I do not regret the money spent, because safety is paramount. I can not imagine what would have happened if I had poor tires or the bottom shelf. Maybe even I could now write this review ..... Read more Collapse

I bought them for my girlfriend to make her safe. I read reviews and based on them my choice was to buy Continental ContiWinterContact TS850. The wet and snow grip is simply excellent. The tyre bites into the snow like a panther into his food. Low rolling resistance, but it is normal in the winter segment of tyres. Good price, but not the best, however safety costs lot more than the tyres. I had Fuldas in the past, but Continentals are far better. Driving in ice is tragic, but no tyre handles on ice, it is almost impossible. I can definitely recommend Continentals, my girlfriend is also satisfied and safe :) Read more Collapse

Wife delighted with the new tires, and it priceless. They perform very well, both on dry and wet roads. Inhibition without comment, regardless of the road surface. Snow fared very well, no problems with driving more snow. As for the noise, it is good, although it is known that this winter tires, so they are louder than the summer. Noticeable tread wear, although the gap is not large - only traveled a few thousand. I would recommend, especially at smaller sizes that the price difference between the average shelf (fulda, uniroyal, etc.) and Conti is not as big and well worth a pair of gold make.

Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 tires in size 215/55 XL 16R. Founded quite early (October). I would definitely recommend. They look quite indifferently, that having a normal tire without a super ultra patterns on the tread. Driving at high speeds (> 160km / h) with no problem, further silence. Noticeably softer than the summer temperatures. Positives. The negative - no difference, very good leads. The snow no problem, on the ice, too. For wet (very wet) road - great. On the slightly dampened - slightly worse (but it's finally winter tire). I would definitely recommend. Read more Collapse

Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 is the best tire for which so far darted. First of all Idel stick to the surface, no fife cornering. Much better than my former Bridgestonów !!! Idalnie cope with the snow and mud pośniegowym. The wet car porwadzi very confident and comfortable. Apart from this there are quiet and have low rolling resistance. I do not have to worry also about the abrasiveness because already I can see that after about 12,000 nothing with them is not happening. I am glad that I will be able to ride them yet dłuuuuugo :-) I recommend because they are amazing !!! Read more Collapse

I bought a tire because of the good reviews in numerous tests, I wanted some running in snow and slush, and indeed in these conditions the tire performs well. My only comment to this tire is the noise level in the wet, while traveling through a rain-soaked asphalt whether in the city or on the road noise is unacceptable. Compared to the Michelin Alpin A5 is Continental falls much worse. Previously I had Nokian Snowtech 2 and honestly all I advise against this particular model of tire - in all conditions evil. My next choice would certainly Vredestein. Read more Collapse

the accounts continental winter contact TS 850 are excellent winter tires. Dry look of the summer. precise steering, good lateral grip. In the wet, only at high speeds, they suffer a bit of aquaplaning (over 120 km / h). In corners and on roundabouts are more than satisfactory. The snow is exceptional both on city highway and mountain roads, excellent braking discrete motor skills (though I have a focus without traction control). I tested the fast lane on the highway Brenner under intense snowfall without any sealing and braking problems. Read more Collapse

Before changing to winter tires with summer tires rode Nokian H which were quite quiet. After changing to winter tires ContiWinterContakt TS850 I was shocked that they are working on the sky quieter than summer Nokian H, until the damage was changed in the summer for the summer because these tires are super quiet. In the winter, mainly large town is little snow so I had no opportunity to test, but the sudden changes of weather sudden rain or snow drives sensational braking and pulling away without problems.

Very good tires. I drove them about 12 thousand. km. At the first contact with the snow (asphalt about 4 cm of snow) it was not to feel that something napadało. Tires "bite" in the pavement. You have to sharply inhibit joined ABS. They give advice even on the ice - with common sense. Very well disperse water. Definitely quieter than I thought. I do not judge the durability because I have them too short. So far, the best winter tires have possessed. I am very happy with my purchase. Read more Collapse
Very good tires, very well behaved on dry and wet roads ... basically ASC does not break traction with the rapid traction even on wet (290 km). The problem is the so-called "flattening tires", for example, if your car will stand for 3-4 days in the garage, while driving it will take some 30 km to stop vibrations to be felt on the steering wheel (tire soft). after about 10000km you hear the roaring of tires on a smooth surface (eg garage) at a speed of 30 km ... I recommend tire Read more Collapse

This tire is extremely durable. I got it from my previous car (fiat punto) now being placed on up. Meanwhile four seasons driven (15 000 km per year incl. Summer tires) are still more than about 5 mm profile. Make little extra gas mileage. Fine band. And I will definitely use continentals replacement. In various tests of the tire come to be one of the better forward. They cost a couple cents more than the cheaper version. But they are more than worth their money. Read more Collapse

I ride on these tires for a few years, both summer and winter. For now, I'm not going to change producenta.I recommend if someone much jeździ.tyres are durable and trouble-free, well stick to the surface of both dry and wet. Previously driven on tires of different companies, but Continentalki ahead of others in its class. Of course, not without significance is the price, but it does not decide on the purchase in the first place. Objectively recommend. Boguslaw Read more Collapse

Tires installed in the version without the Run Flat, tested in winter in the mountains and warm spring on highways. Dispelled any doubts about the usefulness tylnionapędowego car without szpery in the mountains ... no problem with moving off uphill on slippery climbs. Zero observed increased resistance or noise while driving in warm, spring-like weather. Very nice response to steering movements, I would say worth SportContact2! I would definitely recommend.

My car, a Vectra C with the 2.0 DTI. Unfortunately, I had no opportunity to check them on the snow. I drove a little, so I find it hard to talk about their durability. Installation and toe without any problem. While driving any fight, even at 130km / h. On a slippery surface very correct behavior on the water too well. For now I'm happy with the choice. I made the choice based on the opinion of friends. If I had to choose again, I would choose the same. Read more Collapse

Tires Ts850 I never failed. Compared to the "bald" Baruma predecessors were doing 6 with a plus in all conditions. The Polish and Czech mountains in the winter were doing intensive perfectly on serpentine (muddy and frozen). I'm just very happy with them. Only a little louder than summer tires, which with my long motorway routes was sometimes slightly tiring, but point out gently, as been catching their technical parameters. I would recommend.

After one winter tires is satisfactory, although the winter was not especially heavy. They are fairly quiet and thanks to low (I think) rolling resistance, fuel consumption has not increased compared to the summer season. Despite a fairly aggressive driving, braking is certain, and cornering the tires are holding up very well. On the previous tires (Pirelli Winter) przejeździłem 8 seasons without fear and I hope that the Continental-e will be as durable. Read more Collapse

Tires points although adequate price for the brand name. Excel in the snow correctly but with a bit of distance on an icy road and snowy tight corners. Sometimes forced to "think" - in a positive sense. The noise generated in dry conditions correct but not hovering. Another tires from Continental stables that uses and recommend to others who appreciate the comfort and safety of not depriving "common" sense person driving the vehicle. Read more Collapse

Until now, the Michelin Alpin rode 3. I thought that there was no better. Nothing could be further from the truth. After changing the tires on the car Continentale behaves completely differently. Cornering not fall into the slides, just when starting any faults, tire soft - perfect inequality and entering chooses to slush nothing happens. Similarly, on a deeper snow tire does not lose grip in advance whether or uphill. Revelation - I recommend. Read more Collapse

Tires tested both in the town, on highways and in the paths of tiny settlements. Always checking without reservations. Not terrible it dry and relatively warm (last winter abound in warm weather) road and generous portions snow. Sharp braking on dry in the warmer days does not lead to squealing tires without the intervention of ABS option box. And great, balanced between softness (drainage or dry pavement) and hardness (sharp frost or snow). Read more Collapse

I have a lot to compare to other tires that I used before, or have company cars. These Continentale are great - very well suited to the compacted snow or slush, and other inventions I happened to almost push the company car from the parking lot in front of the store, because winter tyre not been able to move on packed snow! In addition, they are quiet, and not, as some Italian tires that were so loud and hard as if I was riding on the same rim. Read more Collapse

On any type of surface car it does not tend to swim in, very good in wet and snowy conditions. On the ice predictable, trying to keep the car in check. The increase in air temperature above 0 does not deteriorate the traction parameters. Stated by the manufacturer volume seems to be real, but it feels like only on the highway. The course of tires is too small to assess their strength, but after approx. 4 thousand km no signs of wear. Read more Collapse

This model uses a tire in the third car. They are optimal in terms of keeping in difficult conditions and comfort on of cleared routes. In my opinion the best parameters have version 16calowej (205). 17nastki (225) heard harder, but the grip on wet and dry is maintained at the highest level and that's the most important. Another advantage is very correct damping inequality, what rozjeżdżonych spring roads always helps. Read more Collapse

For a long time I could not ride on these tyres because the winter is over, but this is a gap in relation to the previous tires lower class and also from the Continental group. tyres well hold on slippery surfaces. On a lightly przymarzniętym behave confidently and can not afford a higher speed than on previous tires. Mnieszy less resistance and noise. Another tires certainly buy from the same manufacturer.

Operates two cars: Opel Corsa tires Debica Frigo and Kia Rio with Continental tires. I travel a lot to Jakuszyce on cross-country skis, where the road is often slippery and snowy. The same is true in the parking lot. There is no comparison. of course a plus for Continental. I once had a problem come Corsa in Karpacz, returned home after Kia Continental tires and drove without a problem. Worth the money. Read more Collapse

Very good tires, they go well hold the road (wet / dry / mud). Ridden mostly on the highway, they are not terrible speeds above 140km / h. Tires have one drawback - they are quite loud especially around 90-100km / h, acceleration is the feeling of starting the engine turbojet (whistle of the boost frequencies) :) most felt on the concrete. But, this is not a big drawback - I would buy them again! Read more Collapse

Hello. I ride every day around 50 km to work in both the highway and through the city. I am very happy with the tires especially with some running on the wet asphalt.

I've had these for 28k miles and they lasted well because they are a winter tire designed for colder conditions. The noise was moderate and good grip in wet conditions, I have not had the opportunity to test them in the snow and ice we had no last year. I recommend this as a good tire for the price and very durable, shoulders first address these at an early stage rotation is required. Read more Collapse

Tires are holding up well in the snow and icy road in recent times. At higher temperatures the positive what happened to us this winter, feel "slipping" tires at higher speeds when cornering. What positively surprised me is the level of noise, which is very low, practically they do not hear. The increase in fuel consumption of between 0.3 l/100km. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

Check tires for the winter season, good performance on wet and slippery surfaces even with mud pośniegowym doing not too bad. With the recent temperatures of 15-18 ° C, there were no problems.
