Rated as "exemplary" and taking third place, the Semperit Speed-Grip 5 offers great value. With an EU label of C/B/B and a noise level of 72 dB, it's priced affordably at approximately €320 per set. Despite its budget-friendly nature, this tire delivers solid performance in various conditions. It performed well on snow, particularly in braking, although handling was not as precise as higher-end models. Wet handling and hydroplaning resistance were commendable, though braking could be improved. On dry surfaces, it balanced handling and comfort well, making it a versatile option. With impressive mileage and low rolling resistance, it’s a strong contender for drivers seeking good performance without breaking the bank, though its wet grip is slightly limited.

The Semperit Speed-Grip 5 displayed reliable performance on wet and winter surfaces but struggled on dry roads, where precision and steering feedback were lacking. It required frequent adjustments to stay on course, and its dry braking was slightly below average. Wet performance was solid, with good results in braking and hydroplaning resistance, while on snow, it managed to hold its own with decent braking and traction. The tire also performed adequately on ice. In terms of efficiency, it offered low rolling resistance and fuel consumption, along with a respectable tread life. Its primary drawback remains its handling on dry roads, where it couldn't match the competition.

The Semperit Speed-Grip 5, ranked at 16th place, showcases commendable snow performance and dry handling, coupled with an impressive tread life. These attributes make it a reliable option for snowy conditions. However, it exhibits shortcomings in lateral stability on wet pavement and braking efficiency on dry roads, aspects that could be refined for a more well-rounded performance.

Semperit shines in braking but faces challenges in handling, especially on snow. Their extended lifespan and eco-friendly attributes add value.

Pros:

• Efficient braking on dry and wet pavements
• Admirable durability
• Reduced harmful particulate emissions

Cons:

• Dry surface handling concerns
• Limited winter performance
