Continental stops shorter on dry; Michelin rides quieter and stays safer as the tread wears.
Both the Continental UltraContact and the Michelin Primacy 4+ occupy the same premium summer touring segment, yet they pull in subtly different directions. Continental's UltraContact is built around exceptional dry braking and long tread life — a safety-first tourer that returns impressive economy in the process. Michelin's Primacy 4+, successor to the respected Primacy 4, leans further into refinement: among the quietest and most comfortable premium summer tyres on sale, with low rolling resistance and solid mileage credentials. In the one direct head-to-head between them — the ADAC 2023 group test across fifty tyres — the Michelin finished third and the Continental seventh, and that gap captures much of the story.
UltraContact
Primacy 4+
The right choice between these two comes down to what you prioritise most. If shortest dry braking distances and tread longevity define your criteria — and you want a composed, efficient tyre that delivers genuine emergency-stop safety — the Continental UltraContact is the more focused instrument. It consistently leads where stopping power is concerned. If you spend most of your time on motorways and urban roads where refinement, low noise, and running costs define the daily experience, the Michelin Primacy 4+ is the more well-rounded companion. It placed higher in the only shared group test, delivers a superior comfort experience, and its EverGrip compound keeps wet performance alive longer into the tyre's life. Just go in clear-eyed about its aquaplaning limitations in standing water. The Continental wins on dry safety and mileage; the Michelin wins on comfort, refinement, and all-weather longevity.
