Summary of test positions
- In the Autobild summer tyre test (52 tyres), the Uniroyal RainSport 3 finished 6th.
- The Sava Intensa UHP 2 placed 11th in the same test and was noted for its aquaplaning (cross) performance and price/value proposition.
What the rankings mean
The higher placement of the Uniroyal RainSport 3 in a large comparative test signals a more consistent, well-rounded performance across Autobild’s evaluation criteria (wet and dry handling, braking, aquaplaning resistance, ride comfort and noise). The Sava Intensa UHP 2’s top-12 finish shows it is competitive, but the lower position versus the Uniroyal indicates there are trade-offs — typically in areas other than the specific strengths highlighted by the testers.
Strengths and weaknesses — Uniroyal RainSport 3
- Strengths: Higher overall test ranking (6/52) suggests balanced performance across conditions and reliable behaviour in independent testing.
- Weaknesses: Our site does not currently display an overall percentage rating for this model, so detailed secondary metrics (noise, wear, fuel efficiency) are not summarised here. No newer replacement tyre is listed for this model.
Strengths and weaknesses — Sava Intensa UHP 2
- Strengths: Noted by Autobild for strong aquaplaning (cross) resistance and very competitive price/value — attractive if you prioritise cost-effectiveness and confident wet-weather aquaplaning protection. Our site rating: 67%.
- Weaknesses: Finished lower than the Uniroyal in the same test (11/52), which implies compromises in overall balance compared with higher-ranked tyres — likely in one or more areas such as dry braking, steering precision, tread wear or rolling resistance.
Overall verdict
For drivers seeking the better-performing tyre in comparative testing, the Uniroyal RainSport 3 is the stronger pick based on Autobild’s 52-tyre test position (6th vs 11th). It represents a more balanced performer for mixed summer driving demands. The Sava Intensa UHP 2, however, is a very compelling value choice: excellent aquaplaning resistance and a strong price/value ratio make it a sensible option for budget-conscious buyers who prioritise wet-weather safety and cost. Choose Uniroyal for the more consistently higher test performance; choose Sava if value and aquaplaning resistance are your top priorities.
