Today, we focus on the comparison of two popular summer tyre models: the Barum Bravuris 5 HM and the Semperit Speed-Life 3.


The Barum Bravuris 5 HM is a tyre model manufactured by Barum. According to our rating system, this tyre model received a score of 39%. In ADAC and Autobild tests, the Bravuris 5 ranked 15th out of 17 and 29th out of 53 respectively, which underscores certain performance issues when compared to competitors. It should be noted that this tyre is not yet succeeded by any newer model.


In contrast, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 tyre, a product from Semperit, is notably superior, with our rating system awarding it a higher score of 59%. This model is a considerable improvement on the previous Semperit Speed-Life model. The Speed-Life 3 outperformed the Bravuris 5 in mutual tests, securing the 10th position out of 17 tyres in the ADAC test and a commendable 12th place out of 53 contestants in the Autobild test. Notably, some of its best features include wet braking and mileage.


The Autobild 2018 test reveals further strengths and weaknesses of the Speed-Life 3 model. The positives highlighted in the test are good performance on wet roads, efficiency, and satisfactory mileage. On the other hand, the tyre's weaknesses include overall balance, performance on dry roads, and environmental impact.


Similarly, the ADAC 2021 test has divulged some additional data about the tyre. Its best feature is undoubtedly its superior performance on wet surfaces, along with its impressive resistance to wear. However, it falls short in its performance on dry roads.


In summary, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 comfortably outperforms the Barum Bravuris 5 in a variety of tests. This comparison illustrates the importance of exhaustive testing in ascertaining the overall performance, strengths, and weaknesses of a tyre. It is clear from our analysis that while the Barum Bravuris 5 may prove adequate for certain drivers, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 offers a more comprehensive and reliable performance, making it a better option for most.
