Sava Tyres

Good at first but barely one year later, complete loss of grip on wet roads. Not flooded, merely wet roads and car is uncontrollable.

Shortly after I learned my mom also had a similar issue with these exact tyres while taking an highway exit.

I will never trust this brand again.

The road grip was so good that it rivaled that of a summer tire. It wasn't noisy, either. Even in its third winter, it performed quite well. By the fourth season, however, the grip had diminished and the rubber had hardened—though the tread depth was still sufficient. I would buy them again.

It ok for budget tyre. Sometimes was slipering on ice and snow. Does not wears. Good for warmer weather as well.

I´ve bought them for my oldest car Feb 2023 and they provide surprisingly good job. They were a bit more noisy first 3. to 4.000 km, but afterwords the edges of each block got a bit rounded, so they let the "brumm" noise behind them and up to these days are not noisy any more.
Perfect fuel efficiency for winter tyre - they are not far away from summer Michelins Primacy 5 bought 2025, might be the same!
They provide really strong grip up the hill in deep snow (yes, havier V6 auto in front), perfect stopping distance and direcrtional stability on snow and ice, perfect straight track on highways in 2-inch snow at 120km/h! unbelievable!
Also straight track on dry highway is without any complaint and wet grip incl. stopping distance are really sufficient enough - they perfectly fit Mondeo 2.5V6 5Auto Turnier. Side force transfer on a road is a better average.
What is for me very important (using SAVA winter tyres from 1993) - SAVA never generated vibrations to me, never! No radial force pumping.
This shows quality, not the first place in tests ;-)

Great in snow, quite good on ice. Minimal wear & changing them only due to age. Not be most sporty feeling on the steering wheel. Main drawback is the tendency to spin on start and slide a bit in corners and roundabouts when the road is at the stage of getting wet and an oily layer is still not washed away. Aquaplaning resistance at motorway speeds could also be a bit better as the car shakes noticeably when encountering puddles. But still everything is in the safe zone and manageable.

Compared to the Sava Eskimo S3+, these tires are slightly inferior. In dry conditions, they perform quite well and provide good road grip, although braking performance is somewhat weaker. On wet roads, they tend to exhibit mild slipping, but still remain within safe limits.

On highways, they are relatively quiet, especially when compared to summer tires. Under normal braking, their performance is satisfactory, while during emergency braking they may slightly increase the stopping distance.

For this tire size, ride comfort is at a good level. I have not noticed any significant changes in performance between when the tires were new and after more than 20,000 kilometers of use.
