Passenger Car Winter Ultra High Performance Tires

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.

Fitted on my car and driven for some 3 months, since I previously had WinterContact TS 860 (without S suffix) on my previous car. <br />
Not sure what changed between S and non S version of this tire, but it lost a bit of ability in the snow and gained handling capabilities in the snow and ice. <br />
Braking is still strong, but bellow Michelin Alpine5.

Very good impression compared to Bridgestone LM005 that I had before

Bought it in December 2023 and for last 3 winters they are on my car. They have 40% on highway and 60% city drive. Comparing with regular wintercontact there is no standard noise when is temperature higher then 7 degC. On highway they feel really confident and handling on snow and icy road is really sporty. I will buy them again. I think one more seasson they will be ok to use.

Tires are mounted on the new Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV. As for the feedback, is hard to tell because Santa Fe is just too big and too heavy to experience any feedback driving iat normal speeds. <br />
In every other aspect the tires exceeded all my expectations. Especially because I've got them for only 180 Chf for a tire

This tyers on snow are the safest of them all, I felt confident on a highway in a snow storm. I was on the mountin where all others were with snowchains and I didnt have them and drove safely uphill or downhill. On the positive side is that this tyers are confortable and silent even at high speed on higway.

OEM winter tire on a 2019 Golf GTI Performance. In my country, Andorra, a snowy country, I didn't like the grip on snow, especially after half its life, which was awful. In wet and even in dry conditions, there have been many losses of traction in this car. In my opinion, I wouldn't recommend it or buy it again. My next winter tires will be Goodyear Ultragrip Performance 3, which I expect will be much better.

Did around 7k km on my Cupra Formentor 4WD 333hp with these tires in Lithuania (eastern Europe). Dry and wet grip is superb, didn't have a single scenario where these tires would underperform. However expected much more in terms of snow/ice grip. On snow I have to be careful, don't have good grip (even on light snow). Plenty of times rear of the car slid out a bit even in normal-ish driving, not to mention a bit more spirited drive. On ice grip is terrible, or rather way worse than I expected from 1k € tires. Obviously these are performance oriented, so perhaps my mistake buying them. Still though, from Continental winter tires I expected better grip in difficult conditions. Really can't say that I have confidence in these. Again - dry and wet asphalt grip is great. If you don't have snow/ice - these tires will be a great choice. Otherwise I would suggest to look into something less performance oriented, if you value your safety that is

First of all I would like to mention that I have switched cars and tires too. I went from an Audi A4 B8.5 Quattro on Continental Wintercontact 870Ps to a Ford Focus ST mk4 and I was a bit worried going from awd to fwd during the winter, but Pirelli have made a great tire. Dry, wet and snow grip are excellent, the only circumstance where I have found the tires to not overachieve my expectations are conditions when the roads are soaking wet and the ambient temperatures are above 3 degrees Celsius and that is only in longitudinal grip when accelerating. Braking is amazing, lateral grip is astonishing for a winter tire and ice and performance is very good and wear seems also good. I would definitely recommend this tire to anyone.

If you own a BMW and are tired of run-flat tires, and you want to switch to regular tires without losing steering feel and driving dynamics while gaining comfort, you can buy this tire with peace of mind. It’s neither as soft and comfort-oriented with loose steering like a touring tire, nor as stiff and sharp as a run-flat. This is the BMW OEM tire for 17-inch wheels.
