It's the 50th anniversary of the ADAC tyre test, and to celebrate the German automotive body have tested fifty summer tyres in the popular 205/55 R16 tyre size, and have included wear testing for every tyre!
There's a lot to unpack in this test, so we'll dive straight in! Headline notes, there are two Michelin tyres in this test, the Michelin Primacy 4+ and the energy saving Michelin e.Primacy, the Continental on test is not the new PremiumContact 7, it's the previous model, the Continental PremiumContact 6, and Continental also have the new Continental UltraContact in the test which is meant to be a lower rolling resistance and higher mileage tyre for those who drive a lot of distance!

Wear
Wear is a key quality of any tyre - what good is a tyre that has amazing grip if it only lasts a few thousand miles?! Road wear testing is incredibly expensive, and with 50 sets of tyres on test ADAC had to split the tyres between road and machine wearing with control tyres between the two to ensure data correlation.
As usual, Michelin led the wear test, but not with the tyre you'd expect. The Michelin e.Primacy, which starts with lower than average tread depth and is designed for very low fuel use (more on that later) recorded a staggering estimated 71,500kms tread life!
The second best tyre was the impressive Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 which once again highlights the longevity of modern Goodyear products, and the low wearing Michelin Primacy 4+ was just beaten to third by the budget Doublecoin DC99. This also happens to be the best result for the Doublecoin, keep an eye on it later in the test.
Of the known brand names, it was a disappointing result for Uniroyal, Nokian and Dunlop, all projected to have less than half the miles of the best.
The advantage of having the prices of the tyres and estimated mileage, you can get an idea of the value of the tyres, based in Euros Per 1000km to see how much you get for your money.
As the Doublecoin was one of the best wearing AND one of the cheapest, it offered exceptional value, but we still wouldn't recommend fitting it unless you're really into sliding around. Of the good tyres on test, it was again the Goodyear and Michelin offering great cost per mile, but the Kumho Ecsta HS52 was up there in the mix too.
Wet
Often wear comes at the expense of wet grip, but once again Goodyear and Michelin (with the Primacy 4+ at least) are proving to break that trend. ADAC only published their wet braking data, of which they use two surfaces, asphalt and concrete. This is where the Michelin, Goodyear and Continental stretch their legs, but it was also a good grip result for the Cooper, Hankook and ESA Tecar on both surfaces.
Straight aquaplaning was led by Uniroyal, with the Doublecoin and Michelin e.Primacy struggling. You can read the result of curved aquaplaning in the results table below.
Dry
Continental once again led the way in dry braking, narrowly beating out the Hankook and Michelin e.Primacy.
Environment
As the environmental impact of all industry is becoming ever more important, the big tyre tests are now measuring "abrasion" which is how much rubber, measured in weight, the tyre loses. While a high mileage tyre should lead in this category, it isn't always a straight correlation as the tyres have different amounts of material in them.
The best in test was the e.Primacy, and ignoring the budget Michelin also did very well with the Primacy 4+, but Continentals new high mileage tyre, the UltraContact, also performed extremely well.
Fuel consumption was measured in a real world test rather than a machine rolling resistance test, and, well, there was a disappointingly small range of results. The total spread was 5.5 litres per 100km to 5.9 litres per 100km.
Given the relatively small real world advantage a tyre like the e.Primacy has in this test over a tyre like the Bridgestone Turanza T005, but the large disadvantage it has in wet grip, it makes me wonder if ultra low rolling resistance tyres are really the correct choice for anyone.
Finally external noise was measured, but for the sake of avoiding another long chart, you can find the data below. The e.Primacy was impressively quiet, and the Petlas impressively loud!
