Ranked #14 of 16
Finishing 14th out of 16 competitors, the Sava eskimo hp2 secured a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. The tyre demonstrated secure driving characteristics on wintry roads, showcasing reliable performance during braking and acceleration on snow, even turning in the third-best result among the participants in winter conditions. It impressed with significantly above-average results on snowy handling courses and during ice braking tests. Additionally, its projected lifespan and wear levels are positively noted, a testament to its low abrasion and very low weight, which contributed to it having the lowest fuel consumption among the tested tyres, earning it top marks in efficiency. However, the tyre showed weaknesses in precision on dry roads and handling limits, with the test vehicle prone to oversteer during dynamic evasive maneuvers or lane changes, receiving only a satisfactory assessment in this aspect. Its braking distance on dry roads was notably below average. On wet roads, the tyre struggled, securing only satisfactory or even just adequate ratings in braking measurements and handling. It was prone to understeering early in the handling course and showed a lack of precision. In summary, while the eskimo hp2 excels in winter conditions and offers environmental benefits through its efficiency, low weight, and low fuel consumption, it faces challenges in providing precise feedback and handling, especially on dry and wet surfaces.
