Its overall position in the Autoklub ČR test was 5 out of 9, and equally 5th position in the Firmenauto test. Although the Nokian Line SUV demonstrates impressive features in wet conditions, it is worth noting it did not occupy the top positions in the comparative tests.

This tyre was rated first in both Autoklub ČR and ACE tests out of 9 and 11 tyres tried respectively. It particularly excelled in multiple categories such as aquaplaning - longitudal, dry braking, dry driving behavior, and wet conditions testing which includes wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling according to ACE test results. Despite slightly falling back to the third position in the Firmenauto test out of 9, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is a clear front runner in most tyre tests and thus an excellent choice for drivers prioritizing safety and reliability.

To summarise, comparing these two tyres make it clear that the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 offers higher overall test scores, showing superior performance in both dry and wet conditions. Whereas the Nokian Line SUV had some merits, particularly in the wet handling, it did not outdo the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 in mutual tests. Therefore, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 comes out on top when compared to the Nokian Line SUV, based on the available test data.

In specifics, our verdict clearly favors the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 for its excellent grip, short braking distances on both dry and wet roads and high aquaplaning safety. However, the Nokian Line SUV should not be overlooked for its exceptional performance on wet surfaces and could be considered as a viable alternative option.
