Continental WinterContact TS 850 P
The Bottom Line
The WinterContact TS 850 P is a solid choice for drivers needing dependable snow traction and 3PMSF-rated performance. However, its wet grip and lack of a treadwear warranty may deter those in wetter winter climates.
Important Note
Limited wet grip performance makes it less suitable for regions with frequent winter rain or slush.
Pros
- Snow traction score of 8 ensures reliable performance in snowy conditions, aligning well with winter driving needs.
- 3PMSF certification indicates it meets industry standards for severe snow service, a must-have for winter tires.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is likely to disappoint in slushy or rainy winter conditions compared to competitors like the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+ SUV.
- No treadwear warranty means you'll need to budget for replacements without manufacturer coverage.
- The noise level is average at best, which might be noticeable on longer drives compared to quieter options like the Continental VikingContact 7.
