ContiWinterContact TS 830 P wins winter tyre test

The ContiWinterContact TS 830 P has won Auto Zeitung’s (issue 25/12) SUV winter tyre test, primarily to its balanced performance on snow-covered, wet, and dry roads.

“Conti was the clear winner of the test with its excellent performance in all areas,” explained the journalists.

A total of five premium winter tyres for SUVs in size 235/55 R 17 from European and Asian manufacturers were tested.

The tyre size fits cars such as the Audi Q3, BMW X3, Ford Kuga, Ford Maverick, Volvo XC 70, and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The test results for the Continental tyres clearly set them apart from the competition. “Above all the tyres show no weaknesses, which is why they are unreservedly recommended.” This was the conclusion of the experts.

Auto Zeitung’s experts are also voicing criticism of the new EU tyre label. The three aspects included on the label are “extremely vague and say nothing about other tyre qualities. Winter properties are not even considered,” explained the journalists.
