Ranked #10 of 17
Finishing 10th out of 17 competitors, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 earned a final 'Satisfactory' rating. This tyre stood out for its exceptional performance in wet conditions and durability, securing top marks for wet braking and mileage. Notably, it showcased superior wet braking capabilities, setting a high standard in the process. Its composition provided the best interlock on wet asphalt, and it narrowly missed an excellent rating in handling. Furthermore, it demonstrated good resistance to aquaplaning. On wear and tear, this tyre was among the top performers, indicating longer-lasting usability. However, its performance on dry surfaces left room for improvement, with a noted lack of precision on dry roads that affected the vehicle’s handling, particularly during sudden evasive maneuvers where the vehicle tended to push strongly at the rear. The tyre's influence on energy consumption was considered average, and it maintained an unremarkable noise level, ensuring a comfortable ride without contributing significantly to noise pollution.
