A related tyre, the WinterContact TS 870 without the \u201cP\u201d suffix, recently won an <a href=\"https:\/\/reifenlab.eu\/mag\/auto-express-winter-tyre-test-2026-continental-narrowly-beats-pirelli\/\">Auto Express winter tyre test<\/a> in 205\/55 R16.

The 18-, 19- and 20-inch EcoContact sizes cover summer use, while the winter recommendation adds a 17-inch choice. Drivers considering the ProContact TX10 should note that its Q3 recommendation applies only in the US and Canada.
