  • The Semperit Speed-Life 3 receives a borderline satisfactory rating in driving safety, with only adequate steering feedback on dry roads and a similar rating in handling at the limit, leading to a tendency for the vehicle to oversteer during sudden maneuvers. Its braking performance is satisfactory, which just suffices for an overall satisfactory rating for its dry road properties. On wet roads, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 narrowly misses a good rating, achieving only satisfactory results in braking distance measurements and lateral aquaplaning. Despite good ratings in longitudinal aquaplaning and handling, it does not achieve a good overall wet performance rating. Environmentally, the Speed-Life 3 performs well, with a very good rating in projected mileage and good ratings in wear and efficiency. However, its noise level and sustainability receive satisfactory ratings.

Latest Semperit Speed Life 3 Reviews

Given 77% while driving a Toyota MR2 mk3 Roadster (195/45 R16) on mostly motorways for 12,000 easy going miles
Bought these as they were recommended in German tire tests. Do not disappoint in daily driving, and plenty of enjoyment when driving a bit more sporty.

Major gripe for me, and reason I won't buy them again: they are very sensitive to standing. Even after a few days I get a shaky steering wheel for the first few kilometers on the motorway. It is not a faulty tire as during a test with 3.0 bars (45? Psi) the shaking is gone instantly.

Given 84% while driving a Renault megane 4 hb (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Breaking on dry could be better, other than that, very good tire for these dimensions.
