Test positions and overall comparison

AutoBild (52 tyres): Fulda placed 9th, Sava 11th — a small edge to Fulda in that large comparative test.

ACE (9 tyres): Sava finished 2nd, Fulda 3rd — Sava shows a slight advantage in ACE’s objective wet and dry handling checks.

TyreReviews summary (2021): both tyres praised for wet reserves and short wet/dry braking; both criticized for limited/marginal tread life.

Strengths — Sava Intensa UHP 2

Excellent wet handling and aquaplaning resistance: ACE highlights very good objective wet handling and cornering; AutoBild also notes aquaplaning performance.

Strong dry behaviour: stable handling on dry roads and short dry braking distances.

Value: competitive price/performance ratio makes it an attractive budget sporty option.

Weaknesses — Sava Intensa UHP 2

Tread life: multiple testers note limited longevity compared with premium rivals.

Minor compromises on comfort/noise relative to some peers (less highlighted in tests).

Strengths — Fulda SportControl 2

Comfort and low exterior noise: AutoBild flags quiet running and good ride comfort — a selling point for everyday driving.

Wet braking and stability: ACE and TyreReviews praise wet braking and handling; strong aquaplaning resistance is also reported.

Rolling resistance: noted as a positive in AutoBild, which can help fuel economy.

Weaknesses — Fulda SportControl 2

Delayed steering response: testers reported a slightly hesitant turn-in feel, which can reduce on-centre precision in sporty driving.

Tread life: similar to Sava, wear is only moderate versus premium competitors.

Verdict — which to choose?
If your priority is the most confident wet handling and sharp objective performance in wet tests, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 edges ahead in ACE’s checks and delivers excellent wet reserves at a lower price. If you prioritize everyday comfort, low exterior noise and slightly better results in a broad AutoBild field, the Fulda SportControl 2 is the marginally better all-rounder. Overall test outcomes are very close — both tyres deliver strong wet performance and economical value, but both sacrifice some longevity compared with premium alternatives.

Choose Sava for sharper wet/dry handling on a budget; choose Fulda for a quieter, more comfortable ride with good wet braking. For full test details, see the tyre pages: Sava Intensa UHP 2 and Fulda SportControl 2, and manufacturer overviews at Sava and Fulda.
