subject: A Safe Gift For Xmas - The Contiwintercontact Ts810 Winter Tire [print this page] The sophisticated ContiWinterContact TS810 winter snow tire from Continental is considered as one of the finest snow and drenched condition auto tires available on the market. Whenever temperature ranges start to drop beneath forty degrees F you need to buy a set of brand new snow tires to ensure optimum security in the chilly winter weather ahead!
Continental produces excellent snow tires in Europe, and their sophisticated approach to design and performance carries over to the ContiWinterContact TS810. The specially designed rubber compounds maintain flexiblity in the cold and an asymmetric tread design optimizes grip in turns.
This top of the line snow tire is best suited for large and medium sized cars. It is designed for high comfort and safety in the snow, sleet, slush, and rain. The design features slightly wider grooves or sipes with unique spacers that keep them open on contact with the snow or road surface. This makes the channels fill up with more snow and dramatically increases grip because the sipes don't roll over under turning forces.
The specially shaped tread pattern design features precisely shaped blocks and channels in the center and inside of the tire. Additionally, the sipes are signficantly wider than the outside of the tire, which places the snow traction toward the center of the vehicle, thus enhancing grip and control.
The synthetic polymer rubber used in the ContiWintercontact TS810 is multi-layered, with a soft and grippy outer layer chemically formulated to stick to icy, snowy, or wet surfaces. Under this layer is a harder base of rubber for stability and control. This combination is the best of both worlds, offering superior traction in snow and ice, yet guaranteeing the tires don't feel too mushy when temperature and grip levels go up on those sunny early spring days. Like any snow tire you should not drive them in dry and hot conditions for very long since they're winter tires.
To add a further element of safety and security, the ContiWintercontact TS810 includes a highly visible tread wear indicator showing the depth of the remaining treads. After the outer layer is worn away, the tire can still be used in dry conditions, which saves a lot of money.
This tire is perfect for all round wintry conditions. It has received the top mark in rainy braking, strong ratings in compacted snow, and is a top combined wet snow tire available on the market. If you're searching for the greatest ice tire this isn't it, however, you cannot fail in common winter season conditions installing the Continental ContiWintercontact TS810.
