About the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850P

Winter Grip Without Compromise

Best forDrivers of passenger cars, minivans, and CUVs — including luxury models — who need certified severe-snow capability during winter months.

The Continental ContiWinterContact TS850P is a dedicated winter tire built for passenger cars, minivans, and CUVs — including midsized luxury vehicles. It earns the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, confirming it meets severe snow-service standards. Designed to deliver confident grip and responsive handling in cold, snowy, and icy conditions, it balances genuine winter capability with a composed, comfortable ride.

An asymmetric tread pattern pairs multi-angle tread blocks with deep, dense sipes to maximize bite on packed snow and ice. Circumferential grooves actively collect snow — snow-on-snow contact improves friction. The rubber compound is formulated to stay pliable well below freezing, preserving grip when temperatures drop. A polyurethane foam sublayer beneath the tread absorbs road vibrations, keeping cabin noise in check.

Questions about this tire

Is the ContiWinterContact TS850P certified for severe winter conditions?

Yes. This tire carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating, meaning it has passed standardized testing for use in moderate to severe winter weather. That certification applies to snow traction specifically — for extreme ice or deep-snow conditions, driving technique and conditions still matter.

How does this tire manage road noise in winter conditions?

Continental built a polyurethane foam layer into the subtread to absorb vibrations and dampen road noise before they reach the cabin. The result is a noticeably quieter ride compared to many winter tires, which is especially appreciated on longer cold-weather drives.

Can the ContiWinterContact TS850P be used year-round?

No. This is a dedicated winter tire and should be removed once temperatures consistently rise above approximately 45°F. Winter-compound rubber softens too much in warm weather, which reduces handling precision and accelerates wear. Swap to an all-season or summer tire for spring and summer driving.

Can studs be installed in the ContiWinterContact TS850P?

No. This tire is not pre-drilled for studs and is not designed to be studded. It relies on its sipe design, tread geometry, and cold-weather compound to deliver traction rather than metal studs.

How does this tire handle cornering compared to a performance tire?

The tread pattern is specifically engineered to deliver handling and cornering response that approaches performance-tire standards — notable for a winter tire. It's a particularly good fit for midsized luxury vehicles and CUVs where ride quality and driving dynamics matter alongside winter safety.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
