The tests, carried out by AutoBild, AutoBild Sportscars, Auto Motor & Sport and Powercar, underline the performance of Continental’s cold weather tyre range, the tyremaker said.
The Conti TS 810, winner of the test carried out in AutoBild, was described as being the "best all-rounder” in the test, offering “a dynamic and sporty drive, excellent steering precision and short braking distances on wet surfaces.”
AutoBild Sportscars also rated the ContiWinterContact TS 810 Sport as the winner and the TS 810 scored well in Powercar’s tests, coming second for its “very balanced performance across all criteria, especially on dry ground.”
The Conti TS 810 S was rated as the best by Auto Motor and Sport magazine in its ‘wet and wear’ tests. The tyre scored highly for its exceptional safe braking in wet and snowy conditions.
Tracey Hyem, brand manager at Continental, said, “Coming out top in these independent tyre tests is fantastic and clear proof of the excellence of our cold weather tyres. Performance in this sector is particularly important. Because drivers opting to fit cold weather tyres are more safety conscious than most motorists, performance is likely to be the main criterion when choosing which brand to buy.”
