In this comparison, we are looking at two summer tyres: the Semperit Speed-Life 3 and the Toyo Proxes Comfort. Both tyres are praised for their performance, with certain strengths highlighted depending on the model.


The Semperit Speed-Life 3, successor to the Semperit Speed-Life, is a summer tyre with a 65% rating from our team. In the Autobild test, it ranked 12 out of 53 tyres, with its best features being wet braking. However, it was considered slightly unbalanced and demonstrated weaknesses on dry roads. Nevertheless, it was praised for its efficiency and decent lifespan. The tyre, however, was ranked 16th in the ADAC test, showing room for improvement compared to other competitors.


On the other hand, the Toyo Proxes Comfort – a touring, summer tyre – was manufactured in Japan by Toyo. Our team awarded this tyre a 72% rating, suggesting a more consistent performance. In the Autobild tests, it attained 17th position, with its strong points being dry handling and dry braking. Its dynamic wet and dry handling, short braking distances, and quiet driving noise were also praised. However, its lifespan was found to be slightly lacking in comparison to the competition. In the ADAC test, this tyre performed exceptionally well, ranking 5th out of 18 tested tyres.


In terms of drawbacks for the Toyo Proxes Comfort, it had limited safety reserves for aquaplaning in curves and moderate mileage. For the Semperit Speed-Life 3, its weaknesses on dry roads were noted along with a deficient environmental balance.


Summarising the data from all tests, the Toyo Proxes Comfort overall performs better in the categories of dry handling, dry braking, and noise level. However, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 stands strong with efficient wet performance and a slightly better lifespan. Thus, the decision between the two tyres might rely on personal preference and driving conditions.


Neither of these models has been replaced by a newer one at the moment, but we will keep you informed about any changes in the future.
