In this comparison, we will be reviewing two summer tyres: the Semperit Comfort-Life 2 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Both tyres have participated in several tests and their strengths and weaknesses have been critically evaluated.
Focusing first on the Semperit Comfort-Life 2, its best features, according to the ADAC test, are its excellent aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinal. In the ADAC test, the tyre achieved a respectable 14th position out of 16 tested tyres. However, the Autobild test didn't portray the same results. The Semperit Comfort-Life 2 secured a lowly 35th position out of 51 tyres. This suggests that while the tyre performs extremely well in wet conditions, it might struggle in other areas and doesn't provide an all-rounded performance. It's important to note that Semperit has not released a newer model to replace this tyre.
On the other hand, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, produced by Continental and made in the Czech Republic, shows a superior performance in multiple tests. Its best features include exceptional aquaplaning resistance, low interior noise, superior wet circle cornering, and outstanding wet braking and handling. The Continental tyre secured an impressive 2nd place in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres and 5th in the Autobild test out of 51 tyres. The tyre has been replaced with a newer model, the Continental PremiumContact 6.
In conclusion, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 seems to offer a better all-round performance than the Semperit Comfort-Life 2, as highlighted by its consistently high ranking positions in multiple tests. While the Semperit tyre displays solid performance in certain areas, it lacks the all-rounded capabilities of the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Therefore, if versatility and overall performance are what you seek in summer tyres, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 may be the better choice. If you prefer the latest models, consider the Continental PremiumContact 6, which serves as the brand's modern replacement for the ContiPremiumContact 5.
