Looking between michelin primacy 4 and hankook ventus prime 4

Oscar tyre price
Primacy 4 560
Ventus prime 4 360

Isit worth the extra money for michelin?

Tbf Hankook tyre was known as best all rounder and best bang for money for sure. Michelin Primacy was suit for those who prefer quiet tyre, but how quiet not sure cz Im using PS series.

My car last time equipped with Conti UC6 from new, my review this tyre were just poor on wet, not confident enough to drive at heavy rain. Not sure how much improvement made towards UC7 but I dont expect massive improvement on wet grip for UC7 or Continental tyre in general. If have budget take Michelin or no harm to take Hankook series tyre

Exactly uc6 is pretty bad when it's wet, and uc7 doesn't have 215/55/18, so far only hankook and michelin
