Information on the tyre:
Semperit Speed-Life 2 are economy-class tyres designed for passenger cars. It should be mentioned that it is one of the best models in class and have obtained high test scores (OAMTC consider it as a tyre worth recommending). Moreover, Semperit is owned by Continental and makes use of their modern technological solutions.
Semperit Speed-Life 2 has a directional tread pattern, which performs excellently when driving on wet surfaces. The V-shaped groove layout is the quickest in water drainage from under the crown ply, ensuring protection against dangerous aquaplaning.
The presented tyres also perform excellently on dry surfaces. This is due to, among other things, the smooth rib located in the central part of the tread. As a result, the tyre accelerates better, is more precise in reacting to the steering wheel and more effective when braking.
The modern rubber compound is wear resistant and helps to reduce fuel consumption (as the tyre has a low rolling resistance). This means that with Semperit Speed-Life 2 your journey is not only safe but also very cost-efficient.
As we have already mentioned, Semperit belongs to Continental, but it is also worth mentioning that the brand comes from Austria and its history dates back to the 19th century. Their tyres are distinguished by their very high quality and are appreciated by drivers worldwide. What is interesting, the name Semperit comes from Latin. The Latin expression “semper it” can be translated as “always running”, “always on the route”. In Poland before World War 2, there was a flourishing subsidiary and factory of the Austrian brand. In Krakow they called the Polish Rubber Plant “Semperit”.
