Continental ContiWinterContact TS 850P SUV 265/50 R19 110V winter Review

Continental WinterContact TS 850 P (Continental Winter Contact TS 850 Pi), presented at the end of 2013, will appear on the shelves closer to the winter season 2014/2015 and will gradually replace its predecessor ContiWinterContact TS 830 P, in comparison with which the operational characteristics. The tire structure and tread design have undergone noticeable changes. Now the blocks of the shoulder zones have become more rigid, and the “shoulders” themselves have been somewhat smoothed out, which has improved handling and reduced rolling noise produced by the tire. Enlarge The asymmetrical pattern of the "TS850P" has been redesigned for greater efficiency. Due to the reduced distance between the blocks and the increase in their angles, the number of working blocks, and, accordingly, the number of zigzag lamellas covering them, has increased significantly. Therefore, we can safely talk about more clinging edges (compared to the previous model) and, therefore, better lateral grip. The drainage grooves, both longitudinal and transverse, have expanded. This feature helps the WinterContact TS850 P tire to more effectively self-clean from dirt, slush and water. Another growth of the Hanoverian developers is the reduced side wall of the ContiWinterContact TS 850P, which ensures a rapid increase in lateral forces. As a result, the tire has better handling on dry pavement. The manufacturer has high hopes for the Continental Winter Contact TS 850P. This tire should definitely be the flagship of the German giant, as independent tests of the Continental TS 850 P show exactly that. As for motorists, we can say with confidence that such a non-studded model will arouse considerable interest among owners of premium cars.
