Continental WinterContact TS 850 P 265/40 R18 101 V XL, FR

It’s the first time I purchased Continental tyres because their products are usually very expensive. I used to drive on Nokian tyres. They were worse in wet weather. I also had Michelin Alpin tyres, quality of which was rather average. The last tyre I tested was the Pirelli Sotto Zero which was very good. I’m driving a Toyota Avalon Limited, 3.5l. engine, 278 BHP and decided to buy a set of the Continental TS850 tyres. I must say, I’m impressed. The tyres are superb in wet conditions. Their performance in snow is simply sensational. They provide excellent grip even if you have a powerful car. The tread pattern is interesting. I’m shocked how comfortable these tyres are. They are better than my previous Pirellis which I liked a lot. I strongly recommend the Continental WinterContact TS 850 P because of their quality and astonishing performance. Read more Collapse

i can’t trcommend these tyres highly enough for winter use. The snow from early 2018 was a true test for the Continentals, and they performed perfectly. The car could be driven in thick falling snow with very little detriment to grip and handling. Other cars were grinding to a halt or couldn’t even grip the snow, whereas I could continue my journey as nornal. If you value the lives of your family then you should get some winter tyres - below 7 degrees these tyres out perform summer tyres in nearly every way. In the snow they’re virtually unstoppable. The difference between summer and winter tyres on snow is like the difference between day and night, it really is that clear. If you’re never tried them and can afford to do so then I highly recommend winter tyres, and these Continentals in particular. Read more Collapse

I bought these to drive down and up from a French ski station - usually on a mix of tarmac and hard snow/ice and sometimes on fresh and falling snow. We have stayed the last two seasons in the resort. I have never felt the need for socks or chains. I can't say I notice the difference in noise or economy from my summer tyres but I change them over on return to the UK and put them on just before we go out early Jan. Excellent combination with the XC 60. Ordering and delivery were simple (direct to the Volvo dealer who fitted them) Read more Collapse

I would recommend Continental. Good quality, good grip I have no objection. These are very good tyres, I was surprised positively several times. Tyres behave very well I fully recommend these tyres and I will buy once again. Very good grip, tyres are safe and handles well. Surprisingly short, and equal braking in all conditions. It was a present from my girlfriend, but I would 100% buy these tyres again, they look like new after 4 months, which is important. I'm going for them again and I would highly recommend.

First of all Continental are the best tyres ever! Very good tyres, Great value. I was pleasantly surprised how I could drive at 70mph and brake and stop quite quickly. These tyres are extremely quiet and when it comes to grip and wear, they exceeded my expectations, markedly. They provide extremely good value for money. I will definitely buy another set of Continental winter tyres. Meet my expectations I would 100% recommend this tyre and the Continental tyre company. Do not hesitate to buy Continental tyres Read more Collapse
