Winter tyres: Continental ContiWinterContact TS 850
Our top winter tyre is the way to go. It offers great grip on snow – although it was pipped by the socks over compacted snow – and even in the cold and wet it’s better than our top summer tyre.
Plus, once fitted, you can forget it, unlike a chain or sock, which have to be removed. And winter tyres on all four wheels will help in corners. The ultimate solution.
For: Top grip in snow plus cold and wet, convenienceAgainst: Price, need extra wheels/unused tyre storage
