Specifications
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S 275/35R20 102V XL RunFlat — quality All season tyre from CONTINENTAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Below average. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S is rated D, under the middle of the scale. Rolling resistance runs a little higher, so fuel use creeps up slightly. Usually that's the trade-off for stronger grip or longer tread life.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Solid. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S sits at class C, the middle of the wet-grip scale. Braking and grip in the rain are reliable for normal conditions; you give up some braking distance to the top grades, but nothing that stands out day to day.
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.
Can I keep driving if these tyres lose pressure?
Yes, for a short distance. The CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S is a run-flat tyre, marked RunFlat with reinforced sidewalls that hold the car's weight even with no air in the tyre. After a puncture you can usually carry on for around 80 km at up to 80 km/h to reach a garage, instead of changing a wheel at the roadside. Run-flats should only go on a car designed for them, ideally one with a tyre-pressure monitoring system.
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.
