The
new ContiWinterContactTM TS830
has outstanding braking performance on icy and wet
roads. High block rigidity in the tread pattern
centre coupled with a high number of sipes provides
enhanced braking performance on icy and wet roads.
The silica mixing technology is the HAFT tread mixture
(HAFT = Hydrophilic Adhesion Fluid Technology, a
special mixture with a high grip) provides greater
grip on snow and ice and on wet road. And the rolling
resistance by the silica blend is further reduced.

Al
Barnett says "I have watched the discussion
on winter tyres with interest as I have recently
purchased a new set of Continental Winter Contact
TS830 tyres for our Skoda Octavia estate. They were
supplied and fitted on my steel winter wheels by
our local Kwikfit in Dorking for £364.00.
They were ordered on the internet with a fitting
appointment included in the arrangement. I have
previously been a bit wary of Kwikfit but on this
occasion I was met by one of their staff as I parked
the car which was very impressive. They not only
did a good job but did not charge for taking a tyre
off an old Saab wheel which I am converting into
an RV8 emergency spare.
The new winter tyres replaced 7 years old Vredensteins
which had given good service but were going hard.
I was out this morning on hard packed snow and ice
and at no time did the car slide or the wheels spin.
I have been convinced of the benefit of winter wheels
and tyres for some years now and an added bonus
is the summer alloys stay looking better for longer." |
