Semperit Speed-Grip 5

We really like the new Speed-Grip 5 - it's not expensive, it's very good on snow and on top of that, it's got very low rolling resistance. What it lacks compared to the premium tyres is better wet performance, but given it's price it's definitely recommendable.

Finishing 3rd out of 20 competitors, the Semperit Speed-Grip 5 demonstrated remarkable performance, earning a final rating of 'Exemplary'. Praised for its affordability and consistently good performance across a range of weather conditions, this second-tier brand excelled particularly in price/value and snow braking. The tyre offers very high mileage and has a low rolling resistance, making it a wise choice for cost-conscious consumers seeking reliability in winter conditions. However, it does exhibit slightly reduced grip on wet roads, which might be a consideration for some drivers.

The Semperit Speed-Grip 5 secured the 16th position out of 20 competitors, earning a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' It stood out for its impressive winter capabilities and good handling on dry surfaces, alongside a remarkably high mileage. However, its performance was compromised by inadequate lateral grip on wet surfaces and extended braking distances on dry roads. This blend of strengths and weaknesses provides a nuanced perspective on its overall winter utility and driving safety.

Securing the 10th position among 19 competitors, the Semperit Speed-Grip 5 earned a final rating of 'Good' for its performance. This tyre stood out for its short braking distances and precise handling on ice and snow, coupled with its exceptional aquaplaning resistance and low rolling resistance.

This blend of strengths and weaknesses underscores its reliable yet mixed capabilities across various winter conditions.
