Continental WinterContact TS 870 P
EU tyre label for every size: 122 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P is a winter tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 122 sizes (221 registrations including load and speed variants), for 16″ to 23″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B–C depending on size, fuel efficiency B–D and external rolling noise 70–75 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 225/55 R16 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency B · 71 dB), the weakest 315/40 R21 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency B · 75 dB).
On the EU market since March 2021; the earliest production week registered is 10/2021.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other winter and 3PMSF tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (120 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip.
What the label means on the road (205/60 R 16)
Example: the 205/60 R 16 size, compared with the 760 other winter and 3PMSF tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈37 m with class B, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).
Fuel efficiency
Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.
Rolling noise
71 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (1 dB quieter).
Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.
All 122 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
