205/45R18 Continental WinterContact TS 860 S – 3PMS EV Compatible M+S Performance Winter
Category: Winter – Performance

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.
