Comparison: Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Sava Intensa HP2 vs. Firestone Roadhawk vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52

Let's dive into a comparison of two summer tyres, Semperit Speed-Life 3 by Semperit and Sava Intensa HP2 by Sava. We will look at the strengths and weaknesses that set these tyres apart, based on various test results. The latter tyre replaces the previous Sava Intensa HP, while the former succeeds the Semperit Speed-Life.

The Semperit Speed-Life 3 has an overall rating of 47% from our website. In the Autobild test, it was ranked 12th out of 53 tyres, with wet braking listed as its best feature. In the ADAC test, the tyre was placed 16th out of 18, and automotorsport 2022 praised the tyre for its performance on wet roads, efficiency, and decent mileage. However, it also highlighted some weaknesses, such as imbalances and inadequacies on dry roads and in the environmental balance.

On the other hand, the Sava Intensa HP2 has received a rating of 65% from our site. It was placed 22nd in the Autobild test and 12th in the ADAC test. The automotorsport 2022 test noted the tyre's efficiency and lightness, however, pointed out the imbalances and driving insecurity on both wet and dry surfaces, and its slight weakness in terms of wear and mileage. It also noted the tyre's environmental balance as a point of improvement.

In terms of mutual test positions, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 outperformed the Sava Intensa HP2 in the Autobild test, but fell behind in the ADAC test.

So, which tyre is superior overall? Both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. The Semperit Speed-Life 3 performs well on wet roads and scores high on efficiency, whereas the Sava Intensa HP2 stands out for its efficiency and lightness. Yet, both tyres face some criticisms, primarily related to imbalance, performance on dry roads, and environmental balance. Given the higher overall rating and better performance in the Autobild test, it is reasonable to lean towards the Semperit Speed-Life 3 as an overall better tyre.

It's clear that both tyres have room for improvement, but the final decision of which tyre is best should be based on the specific needs and requirements of the user.
