The Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Michelin Primacy 3 are two highly competitive summer tyres, with each offering different strengths and weaknesses in the touring subtypes.
Developed by Continental, the PremiumContact 6 has been rated highly by our team, boasting an impressive 83% rating. It is made in Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and was designed to optimize driving under dry conditions. It succeeds the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and has been replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7.
In contrast, the Michelin Primacy 3 is not as strong in our tests, with a rating of 0%. No information on where it is made or any primary strengths was offered. It is a successor to none, but it has been replaced by the Michelin Primacy 4.
Comparison tests by ACE show the Continental tyre performing better, with a position of 5 out of 11, mainly due to its strong dry driving behavior, which vastly outperforms the Michelin tyre, which comes in at a lower 9th position. However, in Autobild's comparison, Continental excels, ranking first amongst 52 tyres tested, while Michelin positions significantly lower at 10th.
In conclusion, based on our summary of data from all the tests, the Continental PremiumContact 6 is the stronger tyre, particularly if dry driving behaviour is an important factor. Meanwhile, the Michelin Primacy 3, although replaced by the Primacy 4, could not match the performance of the Continental tyre in the referenced tests.
The Michelin brand, however, has a solid reputation for performance and durability which is always worth considering.
