The Continental WinterContact TS860 185/55 R14 80T 3PMSF tyre combines a new Cool Chili rubber compound and a new tread design. This provides reduced braking distances in rain or snow and improved traction and grip in winter conditions.
The new sipe concept includes vertical and horizontal channels.
These passages are placed under the blocks, thus allowing water to be drained under compression and shortening the braking distance on icy ground.
The new rubber compound based on silica and natural resin allows maximizing tire grip in winter conditions. This mix allows the tire to maintain its flexibility at low temperatures, which results in excellent grip and optimal braking distance in wet conditions.
The 3D sipe allows the tire to better adhere to the road and ensure a better transmission power in order to achieve perfect maneuvers on snowy roads.
