In our comparison of the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Nokian zLine, we've used rigorous tests from top publications, including Automotorsport, ACE, and Autobild. Through these, we gathered significant insights into the pros and cons of each tyre.
The Continental PremiumContact 6, a summer touring type, is manufactured in Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic. With an impressive track record, this model has performed well across various tests, taking the 2nd position in the Automotorsport's ranking, featuring especially in "Dry lane changing," "Dry handling - objective," and "Dry handling"; the 5th position in the ACE test with "Dry driving behavior" being noted as the best feature, and impressively the 1st position in the expansive Autobild tyre test against 52 other tyres. Our rating for this tire is an impressive 83%. However, it's important to note that this model has been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7. You might want to consider looking at the specifications of the newer model as well.
On the other hand, Nokian zLine, a summer tyre from Nokian, managed to rank in the 6th position in the Automotorsport's tests, with "Dry handling" as its best feature. It may not have been able to beat the Continental tyre in this test, but it shows its prowess in the ACE test by securing a higher 3rd position. However, it takes a drop in the Autobild test, securing only the 20th position out of 52 tyres, a significant difference from the Continental's primacy. Unfortunately, the Nokian zLine does not feature a rating from our side as of now.
In conclusion, between the Continental PremiumContact 6 and Nokian zLine, the Continental tyre stands out with better overall performance and higher tests ratings. Thus, in the comparison of these two, the Continental PremiumContact 6 takes the win. However, considering the Nokian zLine's impressive performance in some of the tests, it should not be discounted entirely. Remember, it's crucial to match the tyre's features with your specific driving needs before making a final decision.
