Ranked #4 of 7
Finishing 4th out of 7 competitors, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P showcased a commendable performance in the winter automotorsport event. It earned a final rating of "Very good," reflecting its strong capabilities under wintry conditions. Officials praised the tyre for its robust corner grip and decent traction on snow, as well as its balanced snow handling capabilities. On top of that, it stood out for its exceptional protection against aquaplaning and its active driving behavior with good corner stability on dry roads. The tyre's very low rolling resistance was also highlighted as a significant advantage, helping to offset its few shortcomings. These included somewhat reduced braking performance on snow and weak braking, reduced driving stability, and limited reserves on wet surfaces. Additionally, a slight instability was noted during fast lane changes on dry surfaces. Despite these drawbacks, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P excelled in aquaplaning resistance in cross conditions, rolling resistance, and snow cornering, proving itself a formidable choice for winter driving conditions.
