We are comparing two prominent summer tyres, the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro and the Michelin Primacy 4, rising from manufacturers Esa+Tecar and Michelin respectively. Evaluating the strong points and limitations of each tyre, we derive the results from various tests performed under different conditions.
Let's begin with the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro. This is a summer tyre model from Esa+Tecar that holds a median ranking of 65%. It is worth noting that this model has not yet been replaced by any newer model. The tyre's prowess lies in its excellent mileage and low interior noise. However, it exhibited weaknesses on dry roads, resulting in downrating based on ADAC and ADAC 2021 tests. The Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro landed 9th place among 12 tyres tested by ADAC.
On the other hand, we have the Michelin Primacy 4. This tyre model is a popular upgrade from the Michelin Primacy 3, thriving in the market with a competitive rating of 82%. Further innovation drove Michelin to replace this version with the newer Michelin Primacy 4+. Impressively, this model scored the top position in the ADAC test and demonstrated remarkable dry braking and safety. The radius of its strengths extended to include noteworthy mileage and interior noise. This summer tyre performed well in dry conditions landing best scores, but showed slight impairments on wet surfaces.
In summary, the Michelin Primacy 4 outperforms the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro in overall tests, securing the first position in the ADAC test. Its best features counterbalance its minor disadvantage on wet roads, making it more appealing to customers desiring superior dry traction and safety. On the flip side, the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro presents a good option for individuals prioritizing mileage and interior noise reduction despite its limitations on dry surfaces.
Whether settling for the tried and tested Michelin Primacy 4 or the inventive Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro, it is paramount that your personal needs and driving conditions guide your selection.
