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
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
