Customer reviews are not part of PTI – PTI is based on measurements from independent tests; for tyres with few tests it also partly considers the brand's class.

Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard-sport

A standard tyre with an added dose of sportiness — Semperit Speed-Life 2 is one of them. The basis stays balanced: comfort, quietness and tread life at the level of an ordinary tyre. The manufacturer adds a stiffer sidewall or a grippier compound, so the response is sharper at speed and through corners. The ideal is that none of it comes out of the tyre's mileage.

Absolutely superb tyre. Subaru Impreza. In the dry I could not unstick them. Just bought another set having swapped the Subaru for a Nissan.

★★★★★

This is the best tyre I ve ever used. Especially on wet tracks I couldnt have been able to slide this tyre.
What I do is deliberately push throttle on bends and corners on wet surface but they stick on road with a decent feeling of security. This is my tyre from now on. 10 out of 10

★★★★★

I own a ford focus 1.6 mk2. I replaced the goodyear efficientgrip performance after four years and 30.000km. The feeling from the semperit speed life 2 is amazing, especially on wet roads. I recommend it without any second thaught!!! And at a very good price comparing to michelin,goodyear or continental.
