Comparison: Maxxis Victra Sport 5 vs. Sava Intensa UHP 2

In the fiercely competitive world of summer tyres, we have two contenders: Maxxis Victra Sport 5 and Sava Intensa UHP 2. These tyres are produced by reliable manufacturers, Maxxis and Sava, respectively.


Maxxis Victra Sport 5


The Maxxis Victra Sport 5, substitute to none as it is their current model, stands out with a rating of 69% on our site. Manufactured in China, this Ultra-High-Performance(UHP) tyre proves to be a formidable option for summer driving conditions. In terms of test results, Automotorsport's review highlights its good safety reserves during Aqua-planing and its assertive dynamics on wet roads. However, it points to its average mileage and significantly delayed steering response as potential downsides. The tyre maxxis-victra-sport-5 stood at rank 20 in the Autobild test out of 50 tyres and at 4th position in the ADAC test among 16 tyres, showing its strengths on Aquaplaning-cross, noise levels, in mileage, and wet circle cornering.


Sava Intensa UHP 2


On the other hand, we have Sava Intensa UHP 2, the successor of the Intensa UHP model, carrying a rating of 67% on our site. The data lack information about its manufactural origin or whether it's a UHP tyre. But, in terms of performance, the Automotorsport 2021 test underlines its short dry braking distances, low rolling resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Yet, it indicates slight understeer in wet/dry conditions and poor aquaplaning reserves as its weaknesses. In a mutual Autobild test with 50 tyres, it took 28th place, tracing its way to 6th place in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres. It earned praise for its Aquaplaning-cross capability, depicting remarkable fuel efficiency and mileage, which can be viewed in more detail at sava-intensa-uhp-2.


Final Verdict


In summary, both tyres showcase specific strengths and weaknesses. The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 outperforms with better safety during aquaplaning and superior dynamics on wet surfaces. The Sava Intensa UHP 2 impresses with its short dry-breaking distances and low rolling resistance while being cost-effective. In mutual tests, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 appears to have a slight edge over the Sava Intensa UHP 2. However, the ultimate choice will depend on specific driver necessities and preferences.
