Continental ContiWinterContact TS850

Continental ContiWinterContact TS850

WINNER

Continental took our winter tyre crown in 2012 with the ContiWinterContact TS 830 P, and the new 850 helped it keep hold of it.

Rarely has a tyre dominated like this.

It was first or second in every one of our tests - only falling down on cabin noise and price - and it showed its spread of talents by leading the way on snow and in the wet and dry.

Plus, only the water phobic Chinese Linglong gave better fuel economy - so it's clear the Continental is a real star.
