Comparison: Semperit Speed-Life 2 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6

In this comparison, we'll focus on two notable summer tyres - the Semperit Speed-Life 2 and the Continental PremiumContact 6. These tyres, manufactured by Semperit and Continental respectively, have been the subject of numerous tests, and are highly recommended for drivers seeking reliability from their summer tyres.


Beginning with the Semperit Speed-Life 2, it's important to note that this model hasn't had any prior or successor tyre models. This summer tyre has shown a robust performance in tests. The best feature of this tyre, as proven by ACE's tests, where it earned tenth place out of eleven competitors, is its excellent rolling resistance. However, it's worth checking out its successor, the Semperit Speed-Life 3, which could provide a better drive and performance.


Moving onto the Continental PremiumContact 6, it succeeded the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 and was later replaced by the Continental PremiumContact 7. This touring tyre is made in Slovakia, Germany and Czechia and has impressively scored an overall rating of 83% in our tests. It performed remarkably in the Autobild test, securing 8th position over 53 tyres, standing out for its excellent dry handling, mileage, and price/value ratio. Further, in ACE's comparison, it bagged 5th place with dry driving behavior as its best feature.


Reviewing the test results and specifics of both the tyres, the Continental PremiumContact 6 significantly outperforms the Semperit Speed-Life 2. While the Speed-Life 2 has commendable rolling resistance, the PremiumContact 6 excels in multiple areas like dry handling and mileage. Plus, the latter's very favourable position in autobild's test that included a larger pool of 53 tyres strengthens its standing.


In conclusion, while both tyres have their strengths, any driver seeking a more comprehensive set of advantages in their summer tyre won't be disappointed with the Continental PremiumContact 6.
