Zákaznícke recenzie do PTI nevstupujú – PTI stojí na meraniach nezávislých testov; pri pneumatikách s málo testami čiastočne prihliada aj na triedu značky.

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Semperit SPEED GRIP 3 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Good winter tyre, acceptable for warm dry conditions. Comfortable and quiet, wear also good.

The tires are great. They were bought in 2018. And in 2024 they are still in very good condition.
I recommend them over Hankook

★★★☆☆

The only thing good: really low consumption. I have a liter per 100km less than my summer Bridgestone Potenza consumption. And less noise. Very happy with that.
Negative: you have to be extra carefull on dry,departing from standing a little sportier it triggers the Esp,very little grip on braking,understeer in a tight curve and totally scary on wet roads.
But if you drive carefully and keep distance to the car in front is ok and is a predictable tire,even its performances are not top.
I drive them the third winter on a front wheel Seat Leon with only 150bhp. I don’t recomand on a more powerfull car.
But the fuel consumption is fenomenally low.

★★★★☆

I bought the tires after some of your encouraging tests and I was amazed.
They excel above all on wet ground (they have a few thousand km) in comfort, rolling resistance ; on dry give a good feedback and lose grip progressively without surprises. They are my first winter tires on a sport car so I don't know how much the merit is of the tires and how much of the trim by Peugeot Sport!
