Also compare with
TS 870 is the near-perfect all-rounder for standard cars; TS 870 P is built for larger, performance-oriented fitments.
Within Continental's winter tyre range, the WinterContact TS 870 P and the WinterContact TS 870 share a name, a philosophy, and a common ancestor — but they occupy distinctly different roles. The suffix 'P' signals Performance, and with it comes a broader size range, a different performance balance, and a target vehicle that skews toward larger, more powerful passenger cars and SUVs. The standard TS 870 is aimed squarely at mainstream passenger cars, prioritising an all-round balance that has repeatedly earned it the highest praise in independent testing. Understanding which is right for you is largely a question of what you drive — and what you ask of a winter tyre.

If you drive a mainstream passenger car on standard 14 to 18-inch fitments, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 is the one to choose — it is the better all-round winter tyre by a meaningful margin, with stronger snow, ice, aquaplaning and noise scores, and a near-flawless test record that Continental's own premium engineering makes impressive. If you drive a larger performance saloon, SUV, or any car requiring 19-inch or bigger winter rubber, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P is your path — it handles the demands of wider, heavier fitments with confidence, delivers sports-oriented dry handling, and keeps rolling resistance competitive for its segment. Think of the TS 870 as the benchmark all-rounder, and the TS 870 P as the performance specialist built for vehicles that demand it.
