Comparison: Nokian WeatherProof vs. Continental AllSeasonContact

When comparing two popular all-season tyres, the Nokian WeatherProof and the Continental AllSeasonContact, a wealth of performance data must be considered, particularly from various tyre tests from organizations such as Autobild, ADAC, ACE, AutomotorSport, and others. Luckily, our comprehensive test results allow you to accurately compare these two models produced by Nokian and Continental.

Overall, the Nokian Weatherproof, with our own rating of 59%, demonstrates solid performance particular in the areas of Aquaplaning - cross, Rolling Resistance, Snow Braking, Snow Handling, and Snow Traction. Our ADAC 2020 results praised the tyre's satisfactory performance on snow, while the ACE tests highlighted its exceptional performance in Aquaplaning - cross, Aquaplaning - longitudinal, and Dry handling. Despite its strengths, ADAC 2020 identified the tyre's weakness in dry conditions, rating it as relatively loud and weak on dry roads.

In comparison, the Continental AllSeasonContact, received our rating of 76%, indicating a higher overall performance. Autobild recognised the tyre for its excellent Snow Cornering, Snow Traction, Rolling Resistance and Aquaplaning - longitudinal performance. The tyre's strengths extend to very good Aquaplaning properties, precise steering behaviour, high mileage, and fuel-saving rolling resistance. Weaknesses were identified from ADAC 2020 results as the tyre scored poorly in dry conditions.

When evaluating overall test scores from our mutual tests, it is evident that the Continental AllSeasonContact consistently performs better, securing a first-place in Autoklub ČR and the ACE tests and second-place following closely by Nokian's fourth place in ADAC tests.

In conclusion, the Nokian Weatherproof tyre is a reliable choice in snowy conditions and aquaplaning situations, despite struggling in dry conditions. Nevertheless, based on various testing data, customer satisfaction and our own rating, the Continental AllSeasonContact remains an all-round excellent choice, delivering superior performance in almost all conditions, making it the better allrounder despite some weaknesses in dry performance. Each tyre caters to different driving styles and conditions, so always take these factors into consideration.
