Comparison: Continental UltraContact vs. Michelin Primacy 4+ vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Continental PremiumContact 7 vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV

Both the Continental UltraContact and the Michelin Primacy 4+ are premium summer touring tyres built for everyday drivers who want safety and longevity — but they approach the brief from different angles. The Continental leans hard on dry braking confidence and exceptional tread life, making it a safety-first pragmatist. The Michelin — which succeeds the well-regarded Primacy 4 and carries Michelin's EverGrip compound technology — puts comfort and cabin refinement at the top of its CV, with strong longevity credentials to match. In the one shared ADAC 2023 test on 205/55 R16 across 50 tyres, the Primacy 4+ finished 3rd and the UltraContact 7th, which tells you something about their relative standing — but it doesn't tell the whole story.
