Specifications
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S 255/45R21 106V XL — quality All season tyre from CONTINENTAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Efficient, just shy of the top. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S carries a B rating, the second band on the EU scale. Rolling resistance is still low, and in normal driving the gap from a class A tyre is small enough that you'd barely notice it at the pump.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Strong. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S carries a B rating, one step below the top. Wet braking is still short and dependable — the difference from a class A tyre is small and only really shows up in hard braking on soaked roads. For everyday driving in mixed weather it's plenty.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
A little louder than average. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S reads 73 dB, toward the upper part of the range. Expect a steady note of road noise on the motorway, often the trade-off for a grippier or more aggressive tread.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
CONTINENTAL is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
Customer reviews
Fairly okay tyres, but I expected better grip. It's sufficient anyway.
Helt okej däck men jag hade väntat bättre grepp. Räcker ändå.
