The Uniroyal RainSport 5 and Michelin Primacy 4 tyres are both excellent summer tyres, each with their own merits and performance profiles.
The Uniroyal RainSport 5 is particularly lauded for its aquaplaning properties and wet handling, scoring an impressive rating of 72% in our evaluations. It is a fine choice for those who value the UHP (Ultra-High Performance) subclass. However, the tyre did not fare as well in autobild tests, ranking 19th out of 53. Despite these results, the tyre's performance in Aquaplaning, both cross and longitudinal, is among its best features.
In contrast, the Michelin Primacy 4, a touring tyre boasting an impressive 89% rating from our evaluations, occupies a higher position in autobild tests, ranking 5th out of 53. Known for its dry handling abilities and comfort, it is a tyre that embodies Michelin's enduring commitment to quality and performance. Notably, the Michelin Primacy 4 has been replaced by a newer model, the Michelin Primacy 4+, further enhancing this tyre's proven capabilities.
Summarising the data from autobild 2022 tests, the Michelin Primacy 4 wins on critical parameters like handling, aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, very high mileage, and low rolling resistance, although it falls short in terms of price. According to Tyre Reviews, while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 excels in Aquaplaning and wet handling, the Michelin Primacy 4 is superior in terms of dry braking and rolling resistance.
In conclusion, while the Uniroyal RainSport 5 is a competent UHP tyre with excellent performance in wet conditions, the Michelin Primacy 4 comes out on top overall due to its superior performance across a range of parameters. However, the choice between the two would ultimately depend on personal preference and specific requirements.
