Sava Intensa UHP 2

The Sava Intensa UHP 2 is a solid summer tyre, it scored an overall rating of 67% in our tests.

The Continental tyre is praised for its balanced performances and particularly good results on wet surfaces, with no significant weaknesses noted.

Verdict

In conclusion, while the Sava Intensa UHP 2 provides decent performance, particularly on dry roads and is relatively quiet, it doesn't compare to the high performance of the Continental PremiumContact 6. Not only does the Continental tyre outperform the Sava model in both wet and dry conditions overall, it's also praised for its balanced performance and excellent mileage. If you're looking to choose between the two, the Continental PremiumContact 6 is the superior option.
