Comparison: Michelin Primacy 4+ vs. Bridgestone Turanza 6 vs. Hankook ION Evo vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2



The comparison between the Michelin Primacy 4+ and Bridgestone Turanza 6 summer tyres presents a detailed analysis regarding their performance based on extensive tests by well-known organization. Both tyres have proven their effectiveness, yet they certainly have their respective strengths and weaknesses.


The Michelin Primacy 4+, rated at 77%, represents the ongoing evolution of the highly successful Michelin Primacy series. It exhibits notably good features such as exceptional dry handling, impressive comfort, and reduced exterior noise. Yet, these do come at a cost, notably observed in its extended braking distances and compromised grip on wet roads, especially its weakness in aquaplaning protection. However, the Michelin tyre held its own throughout multiple tests, achieving a well-rounded performance.


In contrast, the Bridgestone Turanza 6, rated at 83%, showcased balanced dynamics, even under wet conditions, managing to excel in dry handling and rolling resistance, similar to the Michelin Primacy 4+. The tyre provided a sporty yet easily controllable driving experience on dry roads. Despite its proficiency, this Bridgestone tyre reportedly has slight shortcomings in wet traction and cornering grip. Nevertheless, it outperformed the Michelin counterpart in some tests and demonstrated its proficiency in resisting aquaplaning.


In mutual tests, the Michelin Primacy 4+ frequently landed higher rankings, consistently excelling in dry handling and rolling resistance. Nevertheless, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 not only matches the performance of the Michelin in these categories but also performed distinctly well in other aspects like the resistance to aquaplaning, resulting in a higher overall rating.


In conclusion, both the Michelin Primacy 4+ and Bridgestone Turanza 6 represent the pinnacle of their respective manufacturers' prowess in tyre technology. The choice between these premium tyres ultimately comes down to individual driving preference and specific requirements. However, based on the evidence provided by these tests, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 may hold slight advantages over the Michelin Primacy 4+ in overall performance and ratings.
