Between them, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Michelin Primacy 4 appear in 43 tests, though they have not yet met head-to-head in the same test. Head-to-head results carry the most weight here, because surface, weather and test car all change between events and make raw numbers from different tests hard to compare directly.

    How the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 performs. It takes the win in wet, snow, ice, noise / comfort, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 91/100, based on 19 tests.

    How the Michelin Primacy 4 performs. It takes the win in dry, mileage. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 95/100, based on 24 tests.

    What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.

    Verdict

    The Michelin Primacy 4 is the stronger all-round choice, leading in dry and Tire Lab Score. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 still wins on wet, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
