Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P if you want the safer, more confidence-inspiring winter tire across the conditions that most often matter in real driving-especially wet braking and balanced handling-while also benefiting from low rolling resistance. Consider the Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 mainly if budget is the overriding constraint and you drive in heavy-rain conditions where aquaplaning resistance is a priority, but be aware that multiple tests show materially longer wet braking distances and weaker wet/dry handling that can negate the cost advantage.
Where the WinterContact TS 870 P is stronger
- Class-leading wet braking consistency (wins 11/11 shared wet-braking results; e.g., 33.9 m vs 41.0 m in the 2026 50-tire braking test)
- Stronger dry safety margins and steering precision (wins all recorded shared dry braking/handling comparisons; frequent top-third overall finishes)
- More rounded winter capability with generally better snow traction/handling balance (wins snow traction 6-1 and snow handling 5-0 in the category summary)
Where the Premitra Snow WP6 is stronger
- Very strong aquaplaning resistance, especially straight-line (wins 5-2 in straight aquaplaning; standout results like 78.2 vs 72.9 km/h in Auto Bild Sportscars 2026)
- Competitive (sometimes winning) snow braking in certain test formats, often by small margins (category summary snow braking wins split 4-4)
- Lower purchase price / stronger value metrics (wins both recorded Value comparisons; repeatedly among the cheapest options in tests)

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P
- 85%from 33 reviews
- 83%would buy again
- 294,700 milesdriven by reviewers
Across 26 owner reviews averaging 85.8%, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P is most consistently praised for strong, confidence-inspiring grip in both the wet and the dry, often paired with a notably quiet, comfortable ride. Many owners also report good longevity for a winter tire, with several noting healthy tread remaining after substantial mileage. Winter performance is generally rated as capable, but a meaningful minority (around two in five of those mentioning it) found snow traction lacking, and opinions are split on ice grip and steering feel; a small number also note it can feel softer when temperatures rise.
- Strong wet grip and confident wet cornering
- Strong dry grip with secure traction
- Noticeably quiet on the road
- Comfortable, supple ride quality
- Snow traction not as strong as expected for some drivers
- Ice grip is inconsistent depending on conditions
- Steering feel not the sharpest
Summarised by AI from 26 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 33 WinterContact TS 870 P reviewsI've driven the tires in the winter, but on roads devoid of snow and ice so I can't comment on that. They made me feel very secure, however, I have to say that they are far too sporty for my driving style and needs. They carry a lot of responsibility for my decision to buy the car, as they are very comfortable, quiet and make the car feel very surefooted and responsive in the dry and in the wet.
There is one gripe, though, they have absolutely no rim protection, so I blame them for all the scratching on my wheels. I would expect more from a tire of this class from a reputable brand, and, honestly, it is a strong enough reason (albeit the only one) for me not to buy them again. In every other aspect they are brilliant, they even equal summer tires in fuel consumption.
Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6
- 71%from 8 reviews
- 63%would buy again
- 30,000 milesdriven by reviewers
Drivers generally report the Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 as a strong-performing winter tire, with frequent praise for confident grip in snow/ice and capable wet-road handling, especially considering the price. Most high-scoring reviews are very satisfied and would buy it again. A smaller minority report notable road noise/humming, sometimes described as a growl or drone, which can undermine overall comfort.
- strong snow traction
- good ice grip
- confident wet handling/grip
- good value for money
- increased road noise/humming
Summarised by AI from 8 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 8 Premitra Snow WP6 reviewsThe Maxxis WP6 is good enough for normal Dutch winter driving. Straight-line aquaplaning resistance is good and overall grip levels are acceptable.
However, on dry and wet roads the tires lack feedback when cornering. Steering feel is vague and the car feels slightly floaty, especially in faster bends and motorway exits.
Snow traction is good and steering on snow is acceptable. On icy roads the rear of the car felt unstable, with a subtle side-to-side movement.
Previously driven on Firestone Winterhawk 2, Michelin Alpin A4 and Dunlop Winter Sport 5. Of those, the Dunlop offered the best overall balance and driver confidence.
Overall I’m satisfied, but I would not buy them again. Next time I would try the Kumho WP52 or return to a premium brand.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Continental's WinterContact TS 870 P and Maxxis' Premitra Snow WP6 often end up on the same shortlist because they target mainstream passenger cars with a winter focus, but they arrive there from different directions. The TS 870 P is positioned as a more performance-leaning UHP winter tire, aiming to keep braking/handling sharp in cold wet and dry conditions while still delivering credible snow traction. The WP6 is pitched more as a premium-touring style winter option where price-per-tire and everyday usability tend to be part of the appeal.
Across 11 shared professional tests, the story is unusually consistent: the Continental repeatedly lands in the top third (e.g., 4/12 Auto Bild Sportscars 2026, 6/31 ADAC 2025, 2/12 Auto Bild SUV 2024, and an impressive 2/50 in the 2026 braking mega-test), while the Maxxis is typically mid-pack to near the back (10/12, 11/12, 13/16, 19/31, and as low as 44/51). The interesting twist is that the Maxxis does show a real, repeatable talent for aquaplaning resistance, sometimes outperforming the Continental-so the comparison isn't “good at everything vs. bad at everything,” it's “safer all-rounder vs. budget tire with a specific rain-strength but major dynamic compromises.”
Conclusion
If you care about the core safety metrics that decide near-misses-especially wet braking and predictable handling-the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P is the clear winner across this dataset. Wet braking is the biggest divider: in the 2026 50-tire braking test the TS 870 P stops in 33.9 m vs 41.0 m for the WP6 (a ~17% gap), and the same pattern repeats in every shared wet-braking result (11/11 wins). Dry performance also consistently favors Continental (dry braking wins 7/7 where measured, plus better dry handling), which matches the TS 870 P's more performance-oriented positioning.
The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6's strongest counterpunch is aquaplaning resistance, particularly in straight-line aquaplaning where it wins more often (5 wins vs 2). In Auto Bild Sportscars 2026 it posts 78.2 km/h vs 72.9 km/h and is also stronger in curved aquaplaning (2.72 vs 2.37 m/s²). However, that advantage doesn't translate into better wet control once grip is required-multiple reports describe weak wet handling and, most critically, significantly longer wet braking distances (including a severe last-place showing in the AZ 2025 test). On snow, results are mixed: the WP6 can be competitive in snow braking in some tests (several narrow wins), but it lacks consistency and can fall to the bottom on snow handling/traction in more performance-focused test formats.
Value is the only area where the Maxxis can make a rational case: it is repeatedly cheaper on price-per-distance metrics (e.g., better “Value” scores in both Auto Bild 2022 and AZ 2025). But the practical takeaway is simple: the Continental's consistent braking and handling advantages-especially in the wet-are large enough to outweigh the purchase price for most drivers, because they represent meaningful reductions in stopping distance and more stable avoidance behavior. The WP6 is best viewed as a budget-oriented winter tire with standout aquaplaning resistance, but with too many dynamic compromises to recommend where wet braking and confident handling are priorities.
