Ranked #12 of 17
Finishing 12th out of 17 competitors, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 secured a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. This tyre stood out for its excellent performance on dry surfaces, where it provided direct and precise handling combined with a consistently good grip level and manageable reactions at the limit. Testers praised its performance in dry conditions. Another commendable feature was its relatively low external noise, making it the quietest tyre in the test, which highlights its superiority in comfort. However, it showed increased wear and weaknesses when it came to wet conditions. Its braking capabilities on wet asphalt and concrete were among the poorest, and it proved challenging to handle near the limit on wet surfaces, despite good water displacement abilities both laterally and longitudinally. Fuel consumption findings placed it in the middle range, whereas wear performance saw it lag towards the lower end of the competitors, yet it still managed a satisfactory assessment.
