Sava PERFECTA 165/60 R13 Kia Motors Pride 3,500 miles March 30, 2011
Very bad tyres :( . Bought them with the car...Feels like that thay are made from plastic :( . Terrible...I have them for 5K and i cant wait to get rid of them :( . No offence to Sava, beacouse they make probably on of the best winter tyres of them all (Sava Eskimo S3), and if I were them I would stick to making just winter tyres :) . In dry they are ok i guess, but you musn´t push them, beacouse the loose grip very fast...They have to be really hot to get some grip out of them...When it rains or when its damp, you really have to be scared for your life :( , and I´m not joking...Avoid this tyres at all costs
