Comparison: Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Debica Presto HP2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk

When comparing the Semperit Speed-Life 3 and the Debica Presto HP2, both summer tyres, there are numerous factors to take into account.


The Semperit Speed-Life 3, manufactured by Semperit, is the successor of the Semperit Speed-Life. It has an overall rating of 47% on our website. The tyre performs quite well in wet conditions, particularly in wet braking, as evidenced in the Autobild test where it ranked 12th out of 53 tyres. However, its performance on dry roads is less balanced, posing a downside to this model.


On the other hand, the Debica Presto HP2, made by Debica, has a higher overall rating of 70% according to our site. Its standout strength is the excellent price-value ratio, making it a very cost-effective choice. This tyre performed better than the Semperit Speed-Life 3 in the ADAC test, securing the 7th place out of 18 tyres. Even so, it's worth noting that its overall driving safety could be improved.


When comparing the ADAC 2020 tests results, both Semperit and Debica have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Semperit Speed-Life 3 scores well in terms of wet road performance, efficiency, and durability. But it falls behind on dry road performance and has a not-so-impressive environmental balance. The Debica Presto HP2's strengths lie in its good environmental balance, durability, and efficiency, but it falls short in balancing driving safety.


Overall, if you are looking for excellent wet road performance, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 is a solid choice. However, for those focused on value for money and environmental balance, the Debica Presto HP2 is the better pick. Always remember that your choice of tyre should align best with your driving conditions and driving style.
