When it comes to the comparison between Laufenn S Fit EQ by Laufenn and Michelin Primacy 4 by Michelin, there are notable differences in their overall performance and features based on various tyre tests.
The Laufenn S Fit EQ, a summer tyre, earns an overall rating of 46% with its strongest characteristics being its comfort and dry handling. However, despite its viable dry handling capabilities and attraction for its lower price, a few drawbacks from Autobild's and GTÜ's assessments include extended braking distances on wet surfaces, limited grip, and fair mileage performance.
On the other hand, we have the Michelin Primacy 4, a summer touring tyre proudly made in ES, DE, and PL. Its overall rating stands impressively at 82%, demonstrating superior qualities compared to the Laufenn S Fit EQ. Its positives in the various tests include excellent dry braking and handling, a good grip in wet conditions, superior mileage, and lower interior noise. However, a significant downside for some might be its relatively higher price.
In mutual test positions, Michelin Primacy 4 outperforms the Laufenn S Fit EQ in almost all aspects. For instance, in the ADAC test, Laufenn tyre ranks at the 12th position out of 12 tyres, while Michelin sits commendably at the 1st position. Autobild ranks Laufenn’s tyre at 15th and Michelin at 3rd amongst 21 tyres. Similarly, in the GTÜ test, Michelin again takes the lead at 5th, while Laufenn follows at the 7th position among 9 tyres.
Notably, the Michelin Primacy 4+ succeeds the Michelin Primacy 4, providing similarly gritty performance.
In conclusion, while the Laufenn S Fit EQ provides reasonable dry comfort and handling, the Michelin Primacy 4 emerges as an overall better tyre boasting exceptional handling, mileage, and significantly better test results.
