The elongated honeycombs provide high pattern stiffness for better handling on dry surfaces during low temperatures.
Compact pattern blocks maximise the contact between the tyre and the road, thus shortening braking distances on ice and snow. Honeycomb sipes improve the grip on snow during cornering.
Its aqua-dynamic groove structure is highly effective against aquaplaning.
The German Consumer Organization "Stiftung Warentest" published their Winter Tyre Test 2012. The test is based on the test results of the automotive clubs ADAC (D), ÖAMTC (AT) and TCS (CH). The test size was 165/70 R14 T, test vehicle VW Polo.
Result for the ContiWinterContactTM TS 800: "Good"

About the ContiWinterContactTM TS 800:
+ best tyre on snow
+ very good on dry and wet roads
+ very good fuel consumption
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tyre will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tyres deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing all the way down to class E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A down to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tyres only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tyres.
