Comparison: Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Michelin Primacy 3 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Let's dive into the comparison between the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Michelin Primacy 3. Both of these summer tyres should offer solid performance, but there are differences worth noting.


The Maxxis Premitra HP5, which is not succeeded by a newer model, has an average performance with a score of 69% in our rating. It held the 6th position in the ACE test out of 11 which is a good rank. Out of its various features, the dry handling stands as its best. However, it did not perform as well in the Autobild test, securing the 18th position out of 52. Nevertheless, if dry handling is your main priority, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 might be the right choice for you.


Moving onto the Michelin Primacy 3, it does not carry a score in our rating, but it was succeeded by Michelin Primacy 4. Unlike the Maxxis tyre, the Michelin Primacy 3 did not excel according to ACE test, settling on the 9th position. However, improvement was evident in the Autobild test, where it secured the 10th position among 52 tyres.


To conclude, choosing between the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Michelin Primacy 3 depends on your priorities. The Maxxis Premitra HP5 shines in dry handling but stays a bit behind in overall tests. The Michelin's Primacy series, on the other hand, makes a strong case for itself with the superior overall performance and a solid follow-up in the form of the Michelin Primacy 4.
