When it comes to summer tyres, two options often come into the spotlight: the Semperit Speed-Life 3 from Semperit and the BFGoodrich Advantage made by BFGoodrich. These two high-performing tyres have been spotlighted in various tests by renowned institutions such as Autobild and ADAC.
The Semperit Speed-Life 3, paving the way after the Semperit Speed-Life model, achieved an average rating of 65% in our tests. It stood out in the Autobild tests, obtaining the 12th position among 53 tyres. This tyre was particularly praised for its wet braking capabilities. A minor factor to take into account is that it demonstrates some weaknesses in dry conditions and environmental balance.
On the other hand, the BFGoodrich Advantage, receiving a 76% rating on our website, presents a solid track record in material testing. This tyre obtained the 18th place in the Autobild test. It offers impressive comfort and dry handling, but it may present understeering issues in wet conditions. Furthermore, its price is relatively more affordable, considering its dynamic dry handling, low noise level and reduced rolling resistance.
Looking at their performance in the ADAC test, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 secured the 2nd position due to its excellent Aquaplaning, exterior noise and wet braking features. Its weaknesses were documented on the wet surface. In the same test, the BFGoodrich Advantage sits at the 9th position with its efficient fuel consumption. Compared to its competitor, it demonstrated extended braking distances in wet conditions.
In summary, the Semperit Speed-Life 3, known for its wet braking efficiency and noise level, might show some weaknesses in dry conditions while the BFGoodrich Advantage stays competent with dry surfaces, low noise and fuel efficiency but may struggle a bit in wet conditions. Comparative to their previous models, both tyres exhibit significant improvement but also reveal minor points of development.
As for overall performance, the BFGoodrich Advantage seems to edge slightly ahead with its higher rating and broader range of strong features. Nonetheless, your choice between these two will depend on your specific needs and driving conditions.
