Stay composed when the weather turns
Winter brings a mix of cold asphalt, rain, slush and fresh snow. That’s exactly where the CONTINENTAL CONTI TS 850 in 205/55 R16 shines. As a dedicated winter tyre carrying the 3PMSF snowflake and M+S markings, it’s engineered for low‑temperature road conditions and gives car drivers the control they need day in, day out.
From city commutes to country roads and occasional motorway trips, the CONTI TS 850 helps you keep a steady hand at the wheel. With Load Index 91 and Speed Index H, it fits many popular compact and mid‑size cars running 16‑inch wheels. Even better, it’s available at 51.99 € incl. VAT.
Who is this tyre for?
Choose the CONTINENTAL CONTI TS 850 if you drive regularly through autumn and winter and want predictable, winter‑ready handling on cold, wet or snowy roads. It’s a great match for commuters, families and anyone who values confidence and consistency when conditions change during the day.
Live in an area with mixed winter weather – drizzle in the morning, wet snow by lunchtime and icy patches at night? This tyre’s winter focus gives you the reassurance that all‑season or summer tyres can’t deliver once temperatures drop and grip becomes scarce.
Key advantages you’ll notice
Reliable traction and braking on wintry roads
With its winter designation and 3PMSF approval, the CONTINENTAL CONTI TS 850 is built to find grip on cold tarmac, in fresh snow or through slushy sections. That helps when pulling away uphill, exiting bends and keeping braking distances consistent in tough conditions.
Confident steering feel in the cold and wet
On typical winter days – damp, near‑freezing and constantly changing – the tyre delivers reassuring, predictable responses. It helps you place the car precisely, so lane changes, curves and emergency inputs remain controlled.
Everyday usability
The 205/55 R16 sizing is a sweet spot for many cars, and the TS 850 balances winter safety with day‑to‑day comfort. For commuters, that means fewer surprises on early starts or late returns when temperatures dip and roads turn slick.
Seasonal guidance
A practical rule of thumb: switch to winter tyres from around October to Easter. Once steady low temperatures, frost or slush are on the cards, the CONTINENTAL CONTI TS 850 comes into its own. With the 3PMSF snowflake and M+S marking, it’s approved for winter service and ready for the colder months.
Where this tyre excels
The CONTI TS 850 performs particularly well on:
• cold, wet city streets where standing water and slick surfaces reduce grip
• undulating country roads with slush, snow ruts and varying traction
• lightly snow‑covered side roads that reward stable traction and surefooted direction control
• chilly motorway runs where composure and stability matter
With Load Index 91 and Speed Index H, it suits many passenger cars. As always, drive to the conditions and allow extra space and time when winter weather worsens.
Buying advice for a smart choice
• Check your size: confirm 205/55 R16 and your vehicle’s approvals in the owner’s manual or registration documents.
• Respect the indices: match or exceed your car’s required Load Index (91 here) and Speed Index (H).
• Fit four winter tyres: for consistent grip and balanced handling, use the same winter tyre model on all wheels with similar tread depth.
• Watch tread depth: for winter driving, at least 4 mm remaining tread is recommended. Inspect tyres and pressures regularly.
• Plan the swap early: beat the seasonal rush so you’re winter‑ready before the first cold snap.
