In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Holland (
Vredestein) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Vredestein (34%). In this particular case, the Michelin Primacy 5 has a better rating of 84% compared to 50% of the Vredestein Ultrac+. The first tyre test of Vredestein Ultrac+ 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
Ultrac+ and the
Primacy 5 were tested.
