The Michelin is the refined all-rounder; the Continental excels in dry braking and longevity.
Both the Continental UltraContact and the Michelin Primacy 4+ sit in the premium summer touring segment, but they arrive there with noticeably different priorities. Continental has built the UltraContact around dry-road confidence and exceptional longevity — it is a tyre that rewards methodical, safety-conscious drivers who cover high mileage. Michelin's Primacy 4+, the evolution of the well-regarded Primacy 4 and now with a successor in the Primacy 5, leans harder into refinement: low noise, a supple ride, and a well-rounded character across conditions. In their one shared test — the ADAC 2023 benchmark across 50 summer tyres — the Primacy 4+ finished third while the UltraContact came seventh, which gives a useful early indicator of where the gap lies.
UltraContact
Primacy 4+
The UltraContact is a strong, safety-focused option if dry braking performance and long tyre life are your primary metrics — and at the right price point, it represents solid value. But the Primacy 4+ is the more accomplished all-round tyre. It combines competitive wet credentials, superior comfort and noise suppression, better aquaplaning reserves, and impressive longevity into a package that covers more of what most drivers actually need day-to-day. For family car drivers, motorway commuters, and anyone who values a refined, low-stress ownership experience, the Michelin Primacy 4+ is the clearer recommendation. The Continental UltraContact earns its place for drivers who spend most of their time on dry roads and want class-leading stopping distances paired with exceptional tread life.
