The Michelin Primacy 4 and the Barum Bravuris 5 HM are two summer tyres with different strengths and weaknesses. In comparing these two tyres, we're looking at a variety of factors including best features, performance in tests, and overall ratings. This comparison is particularly useful as the Michelin Primacy 4 has been succeeded by the Michelin Primacy 4+, offering a newer version for our consideration.


The Michelin Primacy 4 steers towards the higher end of the market with a focus on touring. Our rating of 82% indicates that it provides excellent performance. It's particularly noted for its dry braking, safety, mileage, dry handling, and comfort. These qualities have been recognised in various tests, consistently positioning it in the top five against a broad array of rivals. Critiques in these tests highlighted slight weaknesses on wet surfaces, despite its excellent handling characteristics and impressive mileage.


In comparison, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM doesn't have any listed subType and its origin also remains unlisted. It hasn't been succeeding any previous models nor has it been replaced by a newer model. With our rating at 39%, it falls significantly behind the Michelin Primacy 4. Unfortunately, it doesn't fare well in comparison tests either, managing only 15th place against a total of 17 tyres in the ADAC test and 29th against 53 tyres in the Autobild test. Unfortunately, there is no specific mention of the tyre's strong or weak points in various tyre tests data provided.


In summary, the Michelin Primacy 4 overall presents a stronger choice in terms of performance, reliability and mileage. It's far better rated and reviewed, making it a preferable choice for individuals seeking efficient performance. Despite having slight weaknesses on wet surfaces, it shines particularly in effective braking and high mileage, which are essential qualities in a summer tyre. In comparison, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM has room for improvement as it lacks the robust performance and positive reviews of its competitor. Its only advantage could be a potentially less steep price.
