The EL400's came on my 2015 Camry V6. Tirerack shows them to be standard all-season tires while the Primacy HP's are grand touring summer.
The Bridgestones are a surprisingly capable tire in the wet, well suited to the F/F Camry, but it's been so long since I've driven on Primacys that I'd hesitate to compare them. Seems like the all-season rated Bridgestones would do better in your climate though.
That said, I'm replacing the Bridgestones with a higher performance tire during the next sale at my local tire dealer. IMO, a tire upgrade is the single most cost effective improvement available for any car, truck or SUV.
