Continental ContiWinterContact TS 830
With the new ContiWinterContact TS 830 , market leader Continental has achieved further progress in terms of driving safety, mileage performance and rolling resistance in a winter tire.
All of this is made possible by sophisticated tread structures, modified sidewall design and new polymer compounds in the tread.
New tire development has focused on braking and start-up under typical wintry conditions and on rain-slicked roads.
Tread functional areas
By separating functional areas, it was possible to substantially defuse the usual development conflict between grip on snow and grip on ice:
* The tread center has been geared to providing grip on ice;
* The tire shoulders provide optimum grip on snow-covered roads.
The breaking performance has been intensified with the help of the central tread area, which features large lugs and densely packed sipes. On icy roads they make for a multiplicity of gripping edges.
The tire shoulders are characterized by many smaller lugs and few sipes. This creates numerous edges for optimum grip on snow-covered roads.
3D sipes
The innovative, patented 3D sipes on the new ContiWinterContact TS 830 are designed in such a way as to offer a combination of very good longitudinal flexibility and ample cornering stiffness. This allows for comparatively fast steering response and higher cornering speeds – important factors when suddenly emerging obstacles have to be circumvented.
The directional design of the tread pattern ensures rapid expulsion of water on rain-slicked roads and fast removal of slush from the ground contact patch. With the directional design, tread elements can be arranged in such a way that very little tire/road noise is generated.
Innovative tread compound
With the high-grip H.A.F.T. tread compound (HAFT = Hydrophilic Adhesion Fluid Technology), the tire holds better on snow-covered, icy and rain-slicked roads.
With the tread compounds employed in the ContiWinterContact TS 830, it is possible for a winter tire to achieve the same low rolling resistance as a summer tire, with the spin-off advantages of higher fuel-efficiency and fewer toxic emissions.
The tread pattern of Continental’s new winter tire is also tailored to vehicles equipped with ABS and ESC systems.”
