Comparison: Dunlop Sport BluResponse vs. Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. Hankook Ventus Prime 4 vs. Nokian WetProof

Our website provides comprehensive tyre reviews and test results, helping you find the perfect match for your vehicle. This text presents a comparison of two summer tyres: Dunlop Sport BluResponse (DSB) and Semperit Speed-Life 3 (SSL3). Both products are from reliable manufacturers, Dunlop and Semperit respectively.


Dunlop Sport BluResponse is an excellent summer tyre, reflected by our website rating of 83%. According to AutoBild, DSB stands out for rolling resistance and comfort, landing an impressive 11th position among 53 competitor tyres. However, the tyre has been critiqued for its weaknesses on wet surfaces and its environmental footprint. ADAC test also confirms good attributes of the tyre on a dry road as well as strengths against aquaplaning. Nevertheless, it suggests slight weaknesses during wet braking.


On the other hand, Semperit Speed-Life 3, the successor of Semperit Speed-Life, achieves a slightly lower rating of 65% on our site. SSL3 ranked 10th in the Autoklub ČR ranking and 12th in the ADAC and AutoBild tests. This tyre is noted for its efficiency and good performance on a wet surface. SSL3 has been criticized for uneven performance, mainly due to weaknesses on a dry surface, according to AutoBild 2024 test. As for strengths, its best features include aquaplaning - cross and its efficient fuel consumption.


In summation, Dunlop Sport BluResponse outperforms Semperit Speed-Life 3 in tests in general due to its more balanced performance and higher tackling efficiency. However, it's fair to say that both products excel in certain areas, with DSB exhibiting superiority in comfort and rolling resistance, while SSL3 shines with its wet braking ability and efficiency.


Both Dunlop Sport BluResponse and Semperit Speed-Life 3 have their strengths and weaknesses; the overall verdict stems from what you're looking for in a summer tyre. We recommend exploring more about these two products and comparing them with other alternatives available in the market.
