How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.

The Continental WinterContact TS 810 S receives a heavily polarized set of reviews, ranging from severe criticism of its winter weather performance to praise for its dry/wet capabilities, comfort, and longevity on compact vehicles. While some users report dangerous handling and poor traction in snow and ice, others note great performance in slush, a quiet and smooth ride, and good durability over multiple seasons.

Pros

  • Comfortable and smooth ride quality compared to summer tires
  • Quieter performance and lack of tramlining
  • Good durability and longevity over multiple winter seasons
  • Acceptable dry braking and fair aquaplaning resistance

Cons

  • Extremely poor traction and cornering grip in snow and ice conditions
  • Severe wet traction issues with wheel spin during cornering acceleration
  • Pronounced understeer in fast dry corners and wet conditions
  • Tendency to deflate or lose pressure in extreme sub-zero temperatures (-15°C)

Worth knowing

  • Successfully utilized on compact vehicles like the Toyota Yaris 1.5L in European winter conditions, achieving good longevity over 4 winters and 20,000 km.
