Ranked #2 of 12

Rated in a commendable 2nd place among 12 competitors, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P received an 'Exemplary' final rating. Excelling in rolling resistance, wet braking, and wet circle cornering, it showcased outstanding driving characteristics particularly on snow and wet surfaces. The tire demonstrated strong safety reserves against aquaplaning and offered short braking distances. Despite its higher price point, the tire's low rolling resistance and overall performance make it a top choice for winter driving conditions.

AutoMotorSport Winter tyre test 2022 245/45 R19
very good
Ranked #2 of 8

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P secured an impressive second place out of eight competitors, earning a final rating of "Very good." According to tester feedback, the tyre exhibited very controllable handling on snow with ample reserves and performed well on wet surfaces, boasting short braking distances, neutral behavior, precision, and strong grip on dry roads. However, its performance on wet roads showed room for improvement, notably in braking, early-onset aquaplaning, and reduced cornering grip. Despite these minor deficits, particularly in curve grip, its strength was undeniable in several disciplines. It excelled in dry braking, dry handling, objective dry handling, interior noise, rolling resistance, and objective snow handling, confirming its versatility and robust performance across various conditions.
