Comparison: Michelin Primacy 3 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T005



Starting with the Michelin Primacy 3, this model is a summer tyre that has been laterally replaced by the more advanced Michelin Primacy 4. This signifies that while it still holds merit, there is an enhanced alternative available in the Michelin range. In the "ACE" tyre tests, the Michelin Primacy 3 landed in 9th position out of 11 contestants. Unfortunately, it didn't shine as much in the "Autobild" test, where it came in a modest 10th place out of 52 tyres. No best features were specifically highlighted in this test.



On the other hand, we have the summer touring tyre Continical PremiumContact 6, produced in three different countries (SK, DE, CZ). This tyre has been subsequently replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7, again indicating that while it is still a solid choice, there are more advanced options within the Continental range.



In the mutual "ACE" tyre test, the Continental PremiumContact 6 outperformed the Michelin Primacy 3, by securing the 5th position, showcasing its best feature as "dry driving behavior". This tyre's prowess was further validated in the "Autobild" test, where it clinched the first spot out of 52 entrants.



In conclusion, while both tyres have performed well across various tests, the Continental PremiumContact 6 appears to have an indisputable edge over the Michelin Primacy 3. Nevertheless, it's important to keep in mind that both tyres have been replaced with newer versions (Michelin Primacy 4 and Continental PremiumContact 7), which are worth considering for their likely technological advancements.
