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 3 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.

★★★★☆

Bought these as they were recommended in German tyre 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 tyre as during a test with 3.0 bars (45? Psi) the shaking is gone instantly.

Breaking on dry could be better, other than that, very good tyre for these dimensions.
