Continental UltraContact vs Michelin Primacy 4 — Compared

“I'm very curious as well. Can't seem to find any info on the Primacy 5. They say it's better than the 4+ it replaces but noone has tried on a Tesla. I'm currently running Continental ultra contact NXT which is a triple A but not entirely happy. Maybe will go back to the Hankook Ion Evo or Primacy 5.”

“Continental UltraContact or some other tyres? Hello everybody. I live in Athens Greece where the temperatures rarely drops under 7 degrees Celsius (44 Fahrenheit) in the winter. The temperature drops this much for very few days and it never snows here, it just rains. It's a big city but the roads are of rather poor quality. Some mild off-roading occurs from time to time. So I am looking for summer tyres. I now have 4 season tyres but I believe they aren't worth it for the climate we have here. The Michelin crossclimate I have, have proven resistant but very poor on wet road. I am looking for a tyre that can handle driving with some speed, going fast on turns etc. I want a good grip on wet road too. I have a seat leon mk1 with 205/55 R16 tyres. I have found some good reviews on the Continental UltraContact tyres. They seem to offer what I am looking for, but I would love your opinion as I truly have no idea about tyres. Also I seem to find the same tyres in the same price at the XL version. Would that be worth it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Tldr: Looking for summer tyres, good for some speeding, good on wet roads. Read more”

“Im normalen täglichen Gebrauch wirst du keinen Unterschied feststellen. Den Ultra Contact verkaufe ich hauptsächlich an Vielfahrer da aus ihm etwas mehr Laufleistung rauszuholen ist. Ansonsten triffst du mit keinem Continental die falsche Wahl.”

“Gomme alternative a Primacy 4 Buongiorno, ho una Peugeot 208 del 2020 con delle Michelin Primacy 4 205/45 R 17 88 V, le ho da 4 anni, circa 20000km all’anno tranne quest’anno che non le ho sostituite con le invernali e che quindi dovrei portarle ad usura completa con il prossimo “giro” delle gomme per altri 20000km. In totale arriverò a quasi 100000km, quindi super ammortizzate e le consiglierei sempre anche per la tenuta. Visto che entro fine estate pensavo di sostituirle tutte e quattro, vorrei capire se ci fossero delle alternative un più economiche ma altrettanto valide (un cambio gomme al momento mi costa circa €650-700).

“I might try to have a look at one today. There are two Uniroyal shops near me. Whether they have one in stock to look at though...? The trouble is they look really nice online but I'd like to see them in the flesh first. The old tyres (above photo) that were on these wheels were that nice square edged profile that I like, much the same as the Michelin Pilot Sports. These are going on my sons Golf EV so I'm also trying to consider if they are A rated for fuel, the best wet grip I can find and the lowest decibel level. The best choice I can find is the Michelin Primacy 4 which are A, A and 68. But on Black Circles it says they were designed for BMW. I'm sure they fit any wheel but do those properties still hold? I've always bought Pilots but B, B and 72, and its this 72 that really bugs me, is whats making me invest so much time into getting the right tyre for Toms EV. I'm getting a Tesla this Tuesday which does in fact come with the Pilots so they must be good on EV's anyway. Who knew buying tyres was so complicated.”

“Michelin Primacy 4 or Conti UC6 - Virtus GT Hey, i recently got a Virtus GT with stock Apollo alnac 4g tyres - looking to upgrade them. As per ChatGPT my options are Michelin Primacy 4 and Continental UC6 - budget is not really a problem. Overall i want good grip, handling, comfort and low cabin noise. Not going for Pilot Sport 4, because don't want to compromise on comfort for performance when i am not going to push my car too much, hence PS4 is a no no. But read it somewhere that with Primacy 4, there is a noticeable difference in mileage not sure if it means going up or down. Need recommendations on what i should get! Thanks in advance”
