Both tyres have been tested in various tyre tests, such as Autobild, ADAC, and Autoklub ČR, but overall, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 tends to outperform the Nexen N blue HD plus. Let's dive deeper into their performance, strengths, and weaknesses.
Continental ContiPremiumContact 5
The Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is a summer tyre with an overall rating of 90%. Manufactured in the Czech Republic, this tyre is known for its exceptional grip and braking capabilities on both wet and dry surfaces. It is important to note that the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 has been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 6, which offers even better performance in certain aspects.
In the Autobild test, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 ranked 9th out of 50 tyres, demonstrating its impressive performance capabilities. In the ADAC test, it secured the 2nd position amongst 16 tyres. The tyre achieved its best performance in the Autoklub ČR test, where it came 1st out of 9 tyres. This clearly shows that the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is a top contender in its class.
Nexen N blue HD plus
On the other hand, the Nexen N blue HD plus is a Korean-made summer tyre with an overall rating of 70%. While not as highly rated as the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, the Nexen N blue HD plus still offers decent performance and value for money. It is worth noting that there isn't a newer tyre model replacing the Nexen N blue HD plus at the moment.
In the Autobild test, the Nexen N blue HD plus ranked a respectable 12th out of 50 tyres. However, it didn't perform as well in the ADAC test, where it came 13th out of 16 tyres. Its performance in the Autoklub ČR test was also not particularly impressive, with a ranking of 8th out of 9 tyres. This suggests that the Nexen N blue HD plus may not be the top choice for those seeking high-performance tyres.

In summary, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is a stronger performing tyre in comparison to the Nexen N blue HD plus. Its consistent high rankings in multiple tyre tests, as well as its exceptional grip and braking capabilities, make it a top choice for drivers seeking excellent performance from their summer tyres.
