A good fit if you

  • Drivers who want the best cold-weather performance and won’t compromise with all-seasons.
  • Factory fitments or vehicles that specifically require XL-rated tires.
  • Electric vehicles, where battery weight, instant torque, and road noise put extra demands on the tire.

Think twice if you need

  • Summer use — winter compound softens too much in heat, wearing faster and handling worse.

225/50R19 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.

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 100 means each tire can carry up to 800 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
  • 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
