Let's compare two popular summer tyres, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and the Michelin Primacy 3. Both tyres have successfully gathered a large customer base due to their superior performance and quality. They have been extensively tested by tyre experts, and the test results provide helpful insights into the performance of these tyres.
The continental ContiPremiumContact 5, made in Czech Republic (CZ), is a well-liked summer tyre. In the ADAC test of 16 tyres, it secured the 3rd position. Meanwhile, in the Autozeitung's test of 10 tyres, it performed even better, securing the 2nd position. However, it fell short in the Autobild's test of 50 tyres, procuring the 9th position. The tyre further made an impressive comeback in Firmenauto's test of 9 tyres, attaining 3rd position. Overall, Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 holds a strong position in the market, demonstrating great performance on wet and dry roads. However, this model has now been replaced by a newer model, Continental PremiumContact 6.
The Michelin Primacy 3, on the other hand, is another summer tyre that boasts impressive performance. Notably, it excelled in the ADAC test of 16 tyres, acquiring the 1st position. It secured the same position in Autozeitung's test of 10 tyres, showcasing its superior quality. Its performance in Autobild's test of 50 tyres was commendable too, where it secured the 10th position. Lastly, in the Firmenauto's test of 9 tyres, it came 2nd. An overall analysis of the tests suggests that the Michelin Primacy 3 offers excellent handling, braking, and rolling resistance. It's important to note that the Michelin Primacy 3 has now been replaced by the Michelin Primacy 4.
While both tyres demonstrate incredible performance in various tests, the Michelin Primacy 3 seems to have a minor edge overall. If you're interested, you can check out more details about Continental and Michelin.
