Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Sava INTENSA UHP 2 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

<p>First time I bought them. Always had michelen and continental. Never again. I already installed second time these tyres</p>

<p>Comparing to other ones I was suprised with quality and durability. I was driving even on Nurburgring with them, of course they are not sporty tires for such price, but still not bad. After that I was driving with screw in one tire from Stuttgart to Zakopane 1000+ km on autobahn and nothing happened. In service I repaired the tire and still driving to this day (2022->2026)
I did more than 80k km with them, its very good result. Never been unsure about driving in wet conditions, long roads and shitty roads like in ukraine for example with big potholes.
Noise levels are acceptable in comparsion to Yokohama.</p>

Opel Astra J Sports Tourer · 225/50 R17 · 32 187 km
★★☆☆☆

The tires hardened within two years. When I brake at low speeds, the ABS engages immediately and I can't stop. Because of this, I've had two minor accidents. I can feel everything on the road. They've become incredibly hard. I reduced the tire pressure to 22 bar, but it's still very uncomfortable.

Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon · 225/45 R17 · 32 187 km
★★★★☆

4 seasons in, and very pleased with this tyre.
Over 30.000kms with them and they still look good and have plenty of tread left.
Dry grip is very good, as well as braking. In dry corners, the car stays pointed with little to no unusual behaviour, gives a very safe feeling, although they may show some understeer on the limit.
Wet grip is good, wet braking could feel a bit safer. Aquaplaning is good compared to other tyres of similar price.
Noise is good, but not as good as its winter brother Sava Eskimo. Not able to give a comment on comfort since im running on 45 profile but subjectively its okay. Wear is better than expected.
Definitely gets a recommend.
