Model overview based on user reviews  
The Continental ContiWinterContact TS860 is highly praised for its excellent road grip and performance on snow and ice, making it a reliable choice for winter driving. Users appreciate its soft and quiet ride, noting that it is comfortable and durable even when encountering potholes. However, its softness means it is susceptible to damage from curbs and may wear down faster, especially if used beyond winter conditions. Despite this, the tyre's weather resistance and wear resistance are commendable, with some users experiencing no issues over multiple seasons. Overall, the TS860 is recommended for its superior braking on ice and confident handling in winter conditions, though it should be used exclusively in colder months for optimal performance.
Pros

Cons

good model, liked it
30 September 2020 
bought a machine on this rubber, soft but durable! I don’t know how my predecessor used it, but it turned out that it was 2014 and the protector is still great.
Soft, durable and weatherproof!
Don't ride it in the summer. Tyres for winter only!

Buy without thinking.

You can purchase without hesitation. It's no wonder it took first place in the rankings.
Unlike other models without studs, it really brakes on ice. It drives confidently on snow and grips excellently. Very soft, quiet, and comfortable. The sidewall is soft, but you would need something sharp to tear it; otherwise, it is quite sturdy. I have hit potholes more than once and rather deep ones, with no hint of bulges. It's not afraid of ruts, and the steering doesn't drift. Another important plus is that it is very wear-resistant, but you need to change them in time, not ride until summer; its elements are cold, snow, and ice. Used it for 2 years. It was on two cars in sizes 185/65 R15 and 195/60 R15.
just no, not a single downside.

For fast driving in the winter what you need. But a lottery with pits.

Rubber is great. Excellent in terms of driving performance. Does not slip, holds the road well. But very soft. I would even say too much. Got used to the curb and tore off a piece. I ran into the pit with the right front and rear, as a result - the front one was torn, the rear one with a hernia. I think it is not for our roads. I also noticed that it is quickly eaten. For 2 months, the protector has clearly lost weight. But because it is so well managed and holds the road. It seems to me that this is the lot of all soft rubber. Beautiful drawing)) But this is not a beauty contest, I just had to say it.
Confidently holds the road. In the snow it showed itself perfectly, I thought it would be worse. Light, checked with Michelin Alpine, he is clearly heavier. Doesn't make noise while driving. Starts to work at +5~
Very, very soft. It is better not to rub against the curbs, it is easily torn. Yam doesn't like to catch a ghoul.

The Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 raises the bar for winter tyre performance to new heights. In total, she won almost 50 times on the podium for the best winter tyres. At the end of 2015, the new generation TS860 was rolled out to replace the most titled German tyre.

"Split personality"

The Continental ContiWinterContact TS860 combines the character traits of both European and Nordic winter tyres. The new model demonstrates responsiveness in handling on dry and wet pavement, excellent traction and clear reactions to steering turns in slush, excellent grip on icy roads. At the same time, the tyre captivates with a high level of driving comfort.

The tread of the model is made of proprietary Cool Chili compound with a high content of silica and the addition of special resins to maintain rubber elasticity over a wide temperature range. The directional arrangement of the tread blocks allows the tyre to remove water and melted snow from the contact patch without much thought, preventing the risk of hydroplaning, and the dense sipe blocking increases the stability of the tyre on snowy roads.

Technological "chips"

The Continental ContiWinterContact TS860 did not do without technological “gadgets”. One of them is special grooves in the walls of the SnowCurve tread blocks, which act as guarantors of improved grip on snow. The second technology guarding the safety of trips in the cold season is additional drainage grooves inside the tread blocks (Liquid Layer Drainage). They dry the contact patch when moving on ice, thereby reducing the braking distance. Is a car tyre worth the money? Definitely yes. After all, after a close acquaintance with her, purely positive impressions remain.
