Specifications
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S
CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S 295/35R23 108W 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?
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?
On the loud side. At 74 dB the CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS860S sits near the top of the scale for car tyres. Road roar is more noticeable at speed, which is common on tyres built for strong grip or tough winter use.
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.
