Wintercontact Ts860 S

The Continental WinterContact TS860 S is engineered for drivers who want true winter capability without giving up the precision and control of a sport-focused tire. Designed for performance-oriented passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs, it delivers the confident cold-weather handling needed for spirited winter driving. Whether paired with a dedicated winter wheel and tire package or purchased as a complete tire set, the TS860 S provides the grip, stability, and driving pleasure required for demanding winter conditions.

Continental equips the TS860 S with a highly advanced tread design built around optimized traction sipes and redesigned snow grooves. These features interlock with snow more effectively, significantly improving traction and handling on packed snow and icy surfaces. The stiff rib construction — created by narrow lateral grooves — provides powerful braking stability, allowing the tire to maintain shorter stopping distances even during aggressive deceleration on winter roads. A winter-ready compound remains flexible at low temperatures, enhancing snow and ice adhesion while reinforcing dependable wet-surface performance. This combination of tread geometry and compound technology ensures predictable control when navigating winter’s toughest challenges.

Sporty drivers will appreciate the TS860 S's dry-road capability as well. Wider outer shoulder blocks expand the tire’s contact area, promoting sharper steering response and improved cornering precision on cold, dry pavement. Despite its performance focus, the tire is engineered with exceptionally low rolling resistance, supporting better fuel economy and extended driving range — particularly valuable for electric vehicles. For those seeking a winter tire that blends athletic handling with premium cold-weather safety, the WinterContact TS860 S stands as a top-tier choice. Call 320-247-6160 for expert help.
