Continental Winter Contact SI
Continental is a German tire brand found, no surprise, on many German cars out of the factory. Its Winter Contact SI works really well on those vehicles, though it is more effective on ice than on snow - this despite its Polar Plus technology made based on additives that should improve grip in deep snow.
Still, it’s interesting to note that the tire benefits from technology that monitors the alignment of the wheels and warns the driver of any potential anomaly. Oricing for Continental tires, including the TS 830, generally falls into the medium-to-high-end range.
