Semperit Speed-Life 3's strengths laid in aquaplaning - cross, mileage, wet braking and exterior noise. However, it displayed some weaknesses on dry ground according to Autoklub ČR and Autobild. Nonetheless, it did make a mark with a 10th position out of 19 tyres in Autoklub ČR's test.


The Bridgestone Turanza T005, a Bridgestone production, received an impressive rating of 89% from our site. This tyre excelled in various categories including dry and wet braking, wet circle cornering, wet handling and showed good efficiency. Particularly, the tyre did well in Autoklub ČR and ADAC tests clinching 3rd position out of 19 and 15 tyres respectively. However, a higher noise level and slightly increased wear were observed.


Comparing the two, Bridgestone Turanza T005 has an upper hand in terms of our rating and performance in tests. While the Semperit Speed-Life 3 showed exceptional mileage and was efficient, it had some shortcomings on dry ground. Nevertheless, both tyres have proven reliable and efficient in different aspects during the conducted tests.


To sum up, if noise is not a concern for you and you prefer better handling and grip on both wet and dry conditions, Bridgestone Turanza T005 might be the superior choice. However, if less exterior noise and better mileage are what you prioritize, then you may favour the Semperit Speed-Life 3. As always, your final choice depends on your individual driving conditions and preferences.
