Performance Analysis

Sava Intensa UHP 2 delivers solid dry-road competence and standout affordability/efficiency, but is consistently compromised in wet safety metrics, especially aquaplaning and wet braking. Across 14 summer tests it averages mid-to-lower table (12.6), with occasional strong overall results in mid-range-focused comparisons, yet drops sharply when the field is broader and more premium-heavy.
Key strengths are dry handling/braking stability, low rolling resistance, good to very good wear for the price, and excellent value. Weaknesses cluster in wet braking, wet handling and aquaplaning, where the tyre frequently sits bottom third, capping its overall rating and safety margin in heavy rain.
