Comparison: Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Continental UltraContact NXT

In this comparison, we are looking at two well-known summer tyres - the Semperit Speed-Life 3 by Semperit and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 by Pirelli. According to our rating, the Semperit tyre reaches 59% while the Pirelli tyre excels with an impressive 86% score.


Starting with the Speed-Life 3, this tyre has succeeded the original Semperit Speed-Life. The Semperit Speed-Life 3 was positioned as the 10th in the 'Autoklub ČR' and 'ADAC' tests and the 12th in the 'Autobild' test. Although this tyre demonstrates good performance on wet roads and a decent mileage, it falls short in the dry conditions and lacks cracking balance, according to 'autozeitung 2022' and 'adac 2021' test summaries. Another notable factor is the tyre’s environmental score, which is not ideal.


On the other side, the Cinturato P7 C2 advances on previous Pirelli P7 Cinturato models. The Pirelli model was placed in noticeably better positions in all mentioned tests: 4th in 'Autoklub ČR', 9th in 'ADAC', and 2nd in 'Autobild'. A notable strength of this tyre is its performance on dry roads and a good mileage, but the tests pointed out occasional imbalances, certain weak performance on wet roads, and lesser environmental-friendliness. Additionally, 'autozeitung 2022' reported slight degradation in wear.


In conclusion, our data suggests that the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 overall outperforms the Semperit Speed-Life 3, especially in its test placements and our internal rating. Nonetheless, both tyres offer specific strengths that may cater more confidently to your individual needs, conditions, and preferences.
