Comparison: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 vs. Nexen N fera Sport vs. Vredestein Ultrac Vorti

In a head-to-head comparison between the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Continental PremiumContact 6, the features and performance of these two premium summer tyres provide a clear guide for consumers to make the right choice. Various tyre tests have spotlighted the strengths and weaknesses of both, with Michelin often outperforming Continental.


The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 scores highly in almost all categories, with a 93% rating on our site. It consistently ranked high in mutual tests, outshining the Continental PremiumContact 6 in several areas. This tyre has excellent dry handling, comfort, and rolling resistance, as well as impressive aquaplaning management, both longitudally and cross. Its wet handling is also noteworthy - an attribute that deemed vital for summer tyres. However, the Pilot Sport 4 has now been replaced by the Michelin Pilot Sport 5


In contrast, the Continental PremiumContact 6 - a touring subtype tyre - received an 87% rating from us. While this tyre does not match the Michelin's performance, it is praised for its dry braking, handling, mileage, and price to value ratio. Despite ranking lower in tests comparatively, it notably takes the crown in some, including ADAC's, where it was deemed better due to its outstanding mileage, wet braking, and handling. However, the tyre has visible weaknesses, particularly in aquaplaning safety reserves and is also now replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7.


It is essential to take into account that test results can vary based on factors like usage, driving conditions and personal preference. Both tyres, manufactured by Michelin and Continental respectively, have unique strengths and weaknesses. Consequently, the chosen tyre should align with the specific needs and preferences of the individual driver.


In conclusion, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 outperforms the Continental PremiumContact 6. However, the Continental tyre still presents a valid choice, especially for those prioritising mileage and value. It's worth noting that both these models have been replaced, so considering their successors could be a wise choice.
