1 mutual test(s) with detailed data

Comparing two of the industry's leading summer tyres, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 and the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4. Both tyres are applauded for their unique features, but how do they stack up against each other?


The Sava Intensa UHP 2 is an improved model of the previous Sava Intensa UHP. Rated at 67% by our experts, this tyre shows commendable performance on dry surfaces, highlighted by its short dry braking distance. Further kudos goes to its low rolling resistance. However, the tyre somewhat underperforms when handling on wet surfaces and offers only a moderate aquaplaning reserve. In the Autobild's comparison, the tyre ranked 11 out of 50 which reinforces its decent performance despite few challenges in different conditions. Learn more about Sava tyres.


On the other hand, Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 emerges as a genuine contender in the ultra ultra high performance (UUHP) tyre segment. With a commendable 89% rating, this standout tyre is praised for its exceptional dynamic handling qualities, both in dry and wet conditions. Its unique selling points include excellent dry handling and notable wet braking, cornering, and handling. These distinguished features understandably contributed to its impressive third positioning out of 50 in the Autobild's test. However, a drawback worth mentioning is its limited mileage and high price. Find out more about Pirelli tyres.


To conclude, if dry performance, low rolling resistance and price are your prime factors, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 could be a good option. But if you desire excellent performance in both dry and wet conditions, despite a slightly higher price point, then the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 is the obvious choice.


Finally, it's important to consider your driving habits, conditions, and budget before making a final decision. Both Sava and Pirelli offer a range of tyres that could serve your needs well.
