Comparing two summer tyres, the Semperit Speed-Life 2 and the Michelin Primacy 3, we aim to provide the most comprehensive tyre test for the consumers. These two models have been replaced by Semperit Speed-Life 3 and Michelin Primacy 4 respectively, but they're still relevant in the second-hand market.
Reviews and tests from ACE, ADAC, and Autobild show mixed results. The Semperit Speed-Life 2, manufactured by Semperit, ranks 10th in the ACE test, primarily due to its rolling resistance. However, in Autobild test, it secured a high position, finishing third out of 50, showing that the tyre has some merits.
On the other hand, the Michelin Primacy 3, manufactured by Michelin, wasn't far off, securing 9th position in the ACE test. Where the tyre shines, however, is on the ADAC test where it took the top spot amongst 16 competitors. However, in the Autobild test, it lagged behind a bit, finishing 10th out of 50.
Summing up the tests, if the focus is on reducing rolling resistance, the Speed-Life 2 has an edge. However, overall performance as shown in the tests tilts marginally in favour of the Primacy 3, mainly due to its top spot in the ADAC test.
While the Michelin Primacy 3 provides a balanced overall performance, the Semperit Speed-Life 2 also stands out in its own right. Both have their own strengths and cater to different requirements, depending on user preferences. However, do note that these models, though relevant, have been replaced with newer versions.
In conclusion, both the Speed-Life 2 and Primacy 3 provide great performance in their own right. Your particular driving conditions and priorities would ultimately determine which tyre suited you best.
