When it comes to quality summer tyres, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Semperit Speed-Life 3 offer two distinct options that are worth considering. Both have unique attributes and have been thoroughly tested to ensure they deliver on performance and safety.

Starting with the Bridgestone Turanza 6, which is manufactured in Spain, this is the successor to the popular Bridgestone Turanza T005. As such, it bears a lot of the trademark qualities that we’ve come to expect from Bridgestone. The model has an overall rating of 77% based on our assessment. According to tests conducted by Autobild, the tyre has strengths in terms of comfort and rolling resistance. Moreover, it ranked 6th in the tests by ADAC , with good Aquaplaning and acceptable interior noise.

Nevertheless, it’s not without certain drawbacks concerning dry and wet road conditions, as stated in the ADAC 2024 test. Performance improvements on both dry and wet surfaces would be beneficial for this tyre.

Moving on to the Semperit Speed-Life 3, it retains the DNA of the original Semperit Speed-Life and is a representative of Semperit in tyre space. Our rating gives it a comparatively lower score of 47%, as it faced challenges in the tyre tests. It was positioned 41st in the Autobild test, a significant drop compared to Bridgestone Turanza 6.

The tyre does shine in a few aspects like handling on wet surface and very high mileage according to ADAC 2024 test. However, the tyre performance on dry surface leaves room for improvement.

Concluding, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Semperit Speed-Life 3 are tyres aimed at different segments. The Bridgestone Turanza 6 generally performs better in tests overall, with its strength in rolling resistance and comfort. On the other hand, while the Semperit Speed-Life 3 still has improvements to make, it could be a reasonable choice for those prioritizing longevity and efficiency.
