Winter tire for SUVs and crossovers Continental ContiWinterContact TS 860 S SUV is designed for use on SUVs and crossovers. It is characterized by improved braking performance on snowy and icy roads. It is based on a previously released model that has undergone a number of changes.
Traction stability
The presence of special polymers in the compound provides flexibility in changing the elasticity of the tread. Thus, during acceleration, it increases, and during calm movement, it decreases. This achieves a high level of traction on various road surfaces.
Liquid Layer Drainage
A drainage system that adapts to specific conditions. Due to this, water masses in any quantity are collected in vertically arranged lamellas, and from them, they enter the central channels, leaving the contact zone. This contributes to an increase in traction properties, including on slippery surfaces. It is important that the tread elements are sufficiently high, so they effectively cut through the water film, reaching the road surface.
SSR system
In essence, this is an analogue of RunFlat - a system that allows you to move even with a punctured tire. In this case, voids are located in the sidewalls, which are filled with a composition based on rubber. It is this that provides the rigidity of the structure in the absence of pressure, providing the possibility of driving to the nearest tire fitting.
Snow Curve+
A technology represented by 3D lamellas functioning in one block as a single whole. This provides increased traction due to the large number of edges, as well as reduces the occurrence of lateral skidding.
