Comparison: Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 vs. Nokian Line SUV vs. Michelin Primacy 5

The Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and the Nokian Line SUV are both summer tyres that have been put to the test to determine their performance. In tests conducted by Autoklub ČR, ACE, and Firmenauto, the Continental tyre clearly outperformed the Nokian tyre. But, what do the underlying features tell us about these two competitors from Continental and Nokian? Let's take a closer look.

The Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 was manufactured in CZ and is a first choice for drivers seeking optimal performance in summer conditions. In the Autoklub ČR test, this tyre stood out from the pack, taking the top position among 9 competitors. It clinched the first position again in the ACE tyre test, which identified the tyre's best features as aquaplaning - longitudinal, dry braking, dry driving behavior, wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling. Despite dropping to the third position in the Firmenauto test out of 9 tyres, the tyre's performance remained reliable. The Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 has been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 6.

On the other side, we have the Nokian Line SUV, a summer tyre which couldn't reach the podium but held the fifth position in all of the three mentioned tests. According to the ACE’s assessment, the tyre performs well in conditions including aquaplaning - cross, wet handling, and wet handling - objective. Unlike the Continental tyre, the Nokian Line SUV tyre hasn't seen a successor just yet.

In conclusion, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and Nokian Line SUV tires are comparable in terms of their overall performance. However, the Continental tyre, due to its superior test positions and top-rated features, emerges as the stronger competitor. With its successor the Continental PremiumContact 6 on the market, buyers can expect continued excellence from this dominant tyre line. Meanwhile, while the Nokian Line SUV doesn't claim a top spot, it holds steady in the middle and can still offer reliable performance under summer conditions.
