In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (
Maxxis) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Maxxis (58%). In this particular case, the Michelin Primacy 5 has a better rating of 84% compared to 54% of the Maxxis Premitra HP6. The first tyre test of Maxxis Premitra HP6 was done in 2026, compared to 2025 when was the Michelin Primacy 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Premitra HP6 and the
Primacy 5 were tested. See more mutual tests below.
