225/55R17 Continental WinterContact TS 860 S – 3PMS EV Compatible M+S Performance Winter
Category: Winter – Performance
The Continental WinterContact TS 860 S is a performance winter tire with excellent snow traction due to its special traction sipes and snow grooves that interlock with the snow. Thin lateral grooves separating the tread blocks form a stiff rib while braking leading to shorter braking distances in wintry conditions. The WinterContact TS 860 S has big outside shoulder tread blocks that increase the contact area for maximum control and steering while cornering on dry roads, and efficiently reduces the rolling resistance for higher fuel savings without compromising the safety.
3PMSF severe snow service rating indicated. XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 101 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 825 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating H indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 210 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
- 3PMS is the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, confirming the tire meets recognized severe snow traction performance standards.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
