Ranked #12 of 16
Finishing 12th out of 16 competitors, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 received a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' This tire demonstrated commendable performance on dry roads, coupled with relatively low fuel consumption and wear, which were positive aspects highlighted by the testers. However, its performance was somewhat diminished by its weaknesses on wet surfaces. Despite these drawbacks, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 was recognized for being particularly strong in its resistance to aquaplaning in a cross direction, which contributed to its overall recommendation. This balance between its merits and areas of improvement indicates that while the tire excels under specific conditions, there is room for enhancement, particularly regarding its wet surface handling.
