1 mutual test(s) with detailed data

The following is an in-depth comparison of two summer tyres - the Uniroyal RainSport 5 and the Sava Intensa UHP 2. Both are manufactured by reputable brands - Uniroyal and Sava respectively.


The Uniroyal RainSport 5 stands out for its aquaplaning features according to results from the Autobild test. It includes longitudinal and cross aquaplaning capabilities, helping to reduce the risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions. However, this tyre's overall performance secured it the 36th position out of 51 tyres in the test. Our rating for the Uniroyal RainSport 5 sits at 62%. It is important to note that this tyre has been replaced by a newer model, which can be found here.


Moving on to the Sava Intensa UHP 2, this tyre performed considerably better in the Autobild test, taking the 15th position. It was praised for its superior safety reserves during aquaplaning and stable driving behaviour on dry surfaces. Furthermore, the tyre exhibited short braking distances on both wet and dry roads and was found to provide good comfort. Another attractive feature is its cost-effectiveness. However, one drawback to consider might be a somewhat limited lifespan. Despite this minus point, our rating stands higher than that of Uniroyal RainSport 5, at 67%. Similar to its counterpart, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 has been replaced by a newer model.


In conclusion, while both tyres offer commendable performances, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 secures an upper hand win with its higher test position and rating, its remarkable safety features during aquaplaning, stable driving behaviour on dry roads, and its cost-effectiveness. However, the final choice must depend on individual considerations, such as driving conditions, personal preferences, and budget.
