Comparison: Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Toyo Proxes Comfort

Our tyre tests comparison today features two worthy competitors, Semperit Speed-Life 3 and Toyo Proxes Comfort

In the world of summer tyres, Semperit Speed-Life 3 (a successor to Semperit Speed-Life) ranks significantly. It performs exquisitely in wet braking, securing a position 12 in Autobild's test out of 53 tyres. In contrast, Toyo Proxes Comfort is renowned for its dry handling and braking. In the same Autobild test, it secured the 17th position.

Looking at their performance highlights, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 is noted for its efficiency and good performance on wet roads. Whereas its weaknesses lie in a somewhat unbalanced performance, and particularly struggles on dry road conditions. As per Autobild's 2024 test remarks, this tyre also exhibited an unfavorable environmental impact rating.

On the opposite end, the Toyo Proxes Comfort, a proud product of Japan, exhibits dynamic wet and dry handling, short braking distance, and minimal noise levels. In Autobild's 2024 and 2022 tests, despite its praiseworthy performance, the tyre's negatives include a short tread life and limited safety reserves when cornering on wet roads.

Moreover, in the ADAC tyre test, the Toyo Proxes Comfort outperformed the Semperit Speed-Life 3 by securing the 5th position, while Semperit Speed-Life 3 ranked at 16 out of 18 tyres.

Based on our own evaluations, the Toyo Proxes Comfort has a rating of 66%, this being relatively better than Semperit Speed-Life 3's score of 59%.

In conclusion, it seems the Toyo Proxes Comfort has an edge overall, considering its better test positions and higher rating. Nonetheless, your choice between these two models may depend on specific requirements such as wet performance or noise level considerations. Therefore, we recommend inspecting the detailed review pages of both tyres for a comprehensive understanding.
