摘要

LAST MONTH TYRES & ACCESSORIES published an exclusive preview of the 2014 additions to Continental's mid-European and Nordic winter tyre stables. The central story was that Conti has launched the new Continental WinterContact TS 850 P. In addition T&A also got the opportunity to experience the performance of the new product's 4x4 variant, the WinterContact TS 830 P SUV. Key facts includes that the TS 850 P outperforms its predecessor both dry road snow handling and braking. The products also raise the label scores from EC to CC territory. Both tyres will be available from the Autumn. Over a period of years, both the Continental WinterContact TS 850 P and its "big brother;' the Continental WinterContact TS 850 P SUV, will gradually supersede the Conti WinterContact TS 830 P and the ContiCrossContact Winter.
