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.
