Comparison: Bridgestone Turanza 6 vs. Michelin Primacy 4+ vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2

In a side-by-side tire comparison, we're looking at the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Michelin Primacy 4+, two famous summer tires crafted by renowned tire manufacturers Bridgestone and Michelin. Tested in different settings, both tires have their strengths and weaknesses.


The Bridgestone Turanza 6 is noted for its excellent handling in dry conditions, as demonstrated in the ACE where it placed 6th, and improved rolling resistance seen in multiple tests. However, it has shown limits in wet traction and cornering grip according to the automotorsport 2024 test summary. Despite these weaknesses, the Turanza 6 receives an overall rating of 83%, underlining its high-end performance as a summer tire.


On the other hand, the Michelin Primacy 4+ shines in dry handling, noted in the ACE test, where it ranked 3rd position. Despite its efficient rolling resistance, the Primacy 4+ received a higher ranking in the ADAC test, earning the 2nd position out of 16. While the tire's short stopping distance and responsive steering on dry asphalt is commendable, its weaknesses surface in wet conditions, with lengthier stopping distances and reduced cornering grip. It also displayed a slight risk of understeer during rapid lane changes and load-altering situations. Yet, the Primacy 4+ has marked improvements compared to its predecessor models, the Michelin Primacy 3 and 4, and overall rating standing at 77%.


When comparing mutual test positions, the Michelin Primacy 4+ generally achieves better rankings than the Bridgestone Turanza 6. Nonetheless, both tires deliver considerably well in dry settings but show limitations under wet conditions.


In conclusion, tire selection inevitably comes down to the specific requirements of the driver and vehicle. Both the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and Michelin Primacy 4+ offer remarkable dry handling and low rolling resistance, making them suitable for summer conditions. However, if increased grip and traction in wet conditions are a necessity, further exploration into other models or tire options may be necessary.
