Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Continental WINTERCONTACT TS 870 P belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

★★☆☆☆

<p>This was my second winter season with these rires. First seson I didn’t manage to test them a lot on snow. Second season I did and……..this tires almost killed me. The compaund was very hard and there was no grip at all on snow and ice. They felt like summer tires in winter. Totally disapointed and will never buy any Continental products again. It was one of my favourite brands along with Michelin and Pirelli but not anymore. These tires have gone directly in the trash. Boight Pirelli P Zero Winter 2 now and these are proper winter tires. No comparison at all. Must say that the Continental was kept in the dry proper place when not in use, so I don’t have any fault for their miserable performance.</p>

Continental WinterContact TS870P – 215/40 R18 | Hyundai i20N
These are the first winter tires on my Hyundai i20N, so I have no direct back-to-back comparison on this car. They came with the car from the previous owner, with an estimated 2,000–4,000 miles already on them (+my 7500 miles), and they currently have around 5+mm of tread remaining. The majority of my use is highway commuting (80%+ of total distance), with occasional backroads and corners mixed in.
This is where the TS870P genuinely impresses. Both in dry and wet conditions, grip levels feel confidence-inspiring. I consistently feel like there's a little more in reserve before reaching the limit. Wet cornering in particular was a highlight; turn-in feels planted and the front end grips well. There is an occasional hint of understeer at the initial turn-in moment, which is worth noting for sporty driving, though it never felt unsettling, likely a combination of the tire's characteristic and the FWD layout of the i20N.
Only experienced light snow, so take this with a grain of salt. Braking confidence felt lower than what I remembered from the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 on my previous BMW F31 xDrive but that's AWD vs. FWD, so the comparison isn't exactly fair. I may also have simply been more cautious. No ice experience to report.
Road noise is noticeable, but the i20N is a stiff, sporty car it's not a quiet cruiser to begin with. Within that context, highway comfort was perfectly fine and I have no real complaints.
The 215/40 R18 size limits your options, and the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 in this size costs significantly more. Whether I repurchase depends on how the wear looks after next winter. Using Tyre Reviews as a guide, if anything ranked above the Continental can be found at a better price in this size, that'll be worth exploring.
So far, a solid, well-priced winter tire for daily and highway use. Wet grip is the highlight.

★★★★★

I have been using 870P for 2 years and I can honestly say this tyre is excellent. The best winter tyre I ever had.
Dry handling/traction excellent.
Wear is OK,
Wet handling - all good
Ice/snow- I would say the weakest part of tyre.
Comfort fantastic - definetely quiter than summer Bridgestone Turanza t005…
Consumption - not so big diference to summer tyre.
I have them on Opel Insignia- recommend to all!

★★★★★

I came from the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 to the TS870P. The Contis got more grip in the wet while cornering. On snow they are very predictable and kept my Octavia (4x4) nice balancend and avoid understeer. So good in the dry, perfect in the wet an perfect in snow. Does not feel so sporty in Terms of Initial steering and stiffnes but the grip level ist amazing.

In the rain and heavy but a lot of heavy rain, even with chunks of snow in highway, at 120km/h, these tyres fitted in a bmw F11 perform wonderfully.
I did used them a lot in the rain, but yesterday had unexpected encounter with snow and they handled perfect! Really great stuff!
