To be a champion, you need the right equipment

Asymmetrical tread pattern

On the new ContiWinterContact^TM TS 810, enhanced edge characteristics on the middle and inside of the tyre significantly improve the grip on snow.

New kind of sipe spacer

Innovative sipe spacers prevent the sipes from closing when in contact with the surface, making it possible to increase the amount of snow taken on by the sipes by roughly 20%, thus significantly improving traction and cornering stability on snow.

Innovative compound technology

With a new type of wet polymer, the new ContiWinterContact^TM TS 810 performs better in the wet without compromising its performance in snow. Ultra-active carbon black in the tyre compound noticeably enhances the driving stability. Tyre life and long-term flexibility of the tread could be increased by reactive plasticizers in the tyre compound.

Tread for Optimum Wet-Road Handling

The customized tread concept ensures the good wet-grip performance of the new ContiWinterContact^TM tyres. To reduce the risk of aquaplaning, the number of circumferential grooves that absorb water during rainy weather has been adapted to the tyre width. The ContiWinterContact TS 810 has three grooves, or on widths of 225 mm and larger, four grooves.

Winter Tread Wear Indicator (TWI)

Throughout the tread on the tyre there are several tread wear indicators that show the remaining tread depth. If the tread has worn down to 4 mm, thus reaching the limit for winter service, the TWI is even with the tread surface, clearly indicating the wear on the tyre.
