2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

When it comes to high-performance summer tyres, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 and the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 are two excellent options to consider.


The Sava Intensa UHP 2, representing a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Sava Intensa UHP, is lauded for its strong performance in wet conditions, particularly with regard to its aquaplaning resistance. In testing carried out by Autobild and ADAC, the Intensa UHP 2 impressed with its stable handling on dry roads, with short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces, and good ride comfort. The tyre's excellent performance-to-cost ratio also drew attention. However, its mileage was identified as a potential drawback. Find more about Sava Intensa UHP 2 here.


On the other side, we've got the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, a high-quality ultra-high-performance (UUHP) tyre. Tests carried out by Autobild highlighted the tyre's excellent aquaplaning characteristics, safe wet surface handling, precise wet handling, and short braking distances on both wet and dry roads. The tyre was also praised for its ride comfort and fair pricing. However, a slight delay in steering response on dry surfaces was identified. Overall, this tyre outperformed its Sava counterpart in both Autobild’s and ADAC’s tests, securing the 7th and 6th positions respectively, compared to the Intensa UHP 2’s 11th and 12th places.

When comparing both tyres, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 comes out slightly ahead in terms of overall test results and performance characteristics. The Dunlop's superior aquaplaning performance, more consistent handling, and better ride comfort give it the edge over the Sava. However, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 proves to be an excellent option for those looking for good performance at a more affordable price point.


In conclusion, both tyres are strong contenders in the UHP summer category, each offering unique benefits and delivering strong performances in their own right. Thus, the final choice would come down to your specific needs and budget requirements.
