Continental’s WinterContact TS 870, designed for compact and midsize cars, won top honors in tests by ADAC, Auto Bild, and Auto Express, while the TS 870 P model excelled in Poland’s Motor magazine. The VikingContact 8, crafted for Nordic winters, took first place in tests by Scandinavia’s Teknikens Värld and Mootori.
