I would recommend. First snow on the tyre. Leaving kopnego 25cm of snow. - Fairy Tale! Starting off a little worse but 150 hp to move the snow is not easy. No and braking - rewelka!. But to activate the ABS wheel slip is no I wryty.Wyprzedzanie in ruts - super - cut drifts as nozem.I recommend everything that's not afraid of winter and enjoy the snow pobrykać. Guaranteed satisfaction and safety.

Tyres bought in autumn 2011. After one winter season as a judge successful purchase. On tyres I drove about 6 thousand km, you do not see hardly any signs of wear, sensational act on dry, wet and snow-covered roads. Traction in snow great, tested them in the Austrian Alps, even though the trip I bought snow chains, it does not even have to wear them. To sum up ... I recommend

I chose these tyres after reading ADAC winter tyres test results. What also helped, they were on 25% off offer, which made the set cost less than £400 including fitting. I was extremely happy with the purchase and I can recommend them to anybody! The only down side could be the price, but you get what you pay for.

ConiPremiumContact2 tyres in my opinion the best tyres on the market, I have them on two cars, the only "drawback" is that these tyres do not stand A rather have 70 and 50 thousand. km. But the cost of that traction and braking are top notch. Highly recommended for cars both weak and strong turbodiesel.

Before I bought Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830, I used some Michelins. They were really bad. Maybe because they were a bit old already. But the tread was about 7 mm, so it's hard for me to say. In any case, in the corners they may the car swerve off its driving lane, and on straights you had to be very careful I know one thing - I won't buy Michelins ever again. I have a bad experience with them even when it came to bike tyres - once when braking, my rear wheel swerved off to the side! This is just terrible. Dangerous for your health and life. As all other French products, I guess... However, Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 is simply sensational. I forgot what it means to have a problem of driving out of snow or driving in deep snow - the drive is the same as in summer on a paved road. On ice they slide a bit, but it's normal. What's important - you don't lose control on the ice and you can feel and see that you slow down when braking. I have a heavy car - 1700 kgs, with a big 3.0 l engine, and rear wheel drive. These tyres really give me a feeling of safety. You can drive confidently even at higher speeds. I can recommend Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 with all my heart, they are simply great, and I'm totally satisfied with this purchase.

Very good tyres on them already przejeździłem 2 seasons and have no signs of use (except for a tiny bulge on the side from hitting a curb). A very good winter tyre behavior in virtually all conditions. I do not recommend at temperatures above 10stC swimming braking feel but that's normal because it's winter tyre and is very soft.

The tyre has very good characteristics. I live in a place where driving home must overcome considerable elevation of the corner at the same time. Cars with rear wheel drive or those with summer tyres have no chance to enter my yard. Last winter I had no problem with the driveway, the tyre shows his class on the cover of snow. I'm also surprised by the level of noise, very quiet tyre. I would recommend.

The size of my Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 tyres is 185/65R15. The tyres have very soft rubber compound - I thought that I would destroy the tyre when I accidentally hit a hole. The behaviour of the tyres in dry conditions at 90 MPH is marvellous. They are almost inaudible and do not mix with the sound of the engine (1.9 DCI). I also had an emergency situation at ca. 50 MPH - I had to make a sudden maneuver, and the car didn't swerve at all. The car behaved exactly as I wanted. The behaviour of Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 on wet surface is also very predictable. I could drive through deep puddles of water without any problems. Braking is also good. They don't fall into aquaplaning, both during sudden braking (ABS is switched on, of course) and in the corners. And now the best. Behaviour on snow. Paved road, snow, speed of 45 MPH and the car behaves as if it was on dry surface, even in tight corners! I had a situation where the guy behind me was driving an Audi 80, I don't know what tyres he had, but he was on my rear bumper almost till the end, where he swerved off into the outside lane (luckily it was free). When it comes to behaviour on ice, of course there will be no miracle and only studded tyres will be good. However, I can recommend Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 with a clear conscience.

Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 are my first winter tyres, since this is my first car, but it doesn't mean that I have no experience, because every day I drive a lot of cars, from vans to large SUVs and covered more mileage than many so-called "experienced drivers". I have them fitted to a VW New Beetle with 1.8 T 150 HP engine. I decided to get 205/55R16 tyres because I had an opportunity to drive on 195/60R15 tyres and I felt they were too narrow, even for winter. Continental ContiWinterContactTM TS830 do quite a good job. I think they could be a bit better on snow, but I find them very good anyways.
