The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Top 3 Sava PERFECTA Reviews

Given 41% while driving a Fiat Panda (175/70 R13) on mostly town for 10,000 average miles
In the beginning they were okay on the dry and average on the wet. A year after that they were horrible on the wet. ABS was working overtime and I was losing traction even driving 10km/h on a roundabout. They haven't weared at all to be honest but that's because they don't have any friction with the road. I changed them after I almost crashed on a curb. Should definitely be banned.

Given 64% while driving a Toyota Corolla AE101 (165/70 R14) on mostly country roads for 12 average miles
Old technology tyres i think. Before 25 year the Goodyear make the model GT2, this Sava Perfecta is the same in the road. Good in dry roads,good wear, but weak in the wet roads and not comfort tyre.

Given 37% while driving a Fiat 1.2 16V (155/70 R13) on mostly town for 10,000 easy going miles
I bought a second car for errands and they were fitted already on it. They were almost brand new so I didn't change them immediately. In the first few months they were average although wet grip was bad. After a year or so they began to lose traction on wet roads with only 10-20 km/h. I finally changed them after I crashed on the highway during an emergency stop as they couldn't stop the car on time and made me crash on the car in front of me. After putting the new tyres on and fixing the damages I realized how uncomfortable, noisy and bumpy they were. The car now feels silky smooth compared to before. The only positive thing with them is that they didn't seem to wear at all. Definitely stay away. Good tyres are cheaper than fixing damages from a crash.

Latest Sava PERFECTA Reviews

Given 34% while driving a Peugeot 206 1.4 hdi (185/65 R14) on mostly town for 6,000 spirited miles
Had these years ago and, as many have said, these are terrible in the wet. I'd call them death traps instead... On the first 6000 miles they were fine but on the next winter, you couldn't do a roundabout without the car spinning out of control with no feedback whatsoever. I have driven in the same conditions with every tyre, even almost worn Dunlop SP and never had any problems. Never experienced such sudden lack of grip on any car, the moment it was gone there was nothing that you could do. Same happened when braking, as I've had to pull the parking brake on a wet road so I didn't slam into a car at 20mph. Right after that, I immediatly also replaced the front Sava tyres. After a while I got to know my mom lost control of her van exiting the motorway, on a wet day. Guess what? These were the same tyres that had been fitted and she had never had accidents before or since.

Given 56% while driving a Fiat doblo (185/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles
This is "do not rush me" tyre. If you drive according to the prescribed speed limits or below in bad conditions this tyre will "obey the orders". Only in that case you'll get the best from it.
After 30000km consider them unusable because almost every possible grip is lost. I didn't find this tyre suitable for driving on high speed because lack of stability. Also aquaplaning is pretty dangerous situation, even at 70 km/h. Surprisingly, 'had no bad experience when cornering on dry.

Given 59% while driving a Hyundai Accent (175/70 R13 T) on mostly town for 15,000 spirited miles
I have driven these tyres for about 15000 miles during the last 18 months. Mostly city routes, some motorway trips. In general, tyres had a decent dry profile, on wet roads both grip and aquaplaning was not so good - couldn't trust them very much. After about 12000 miles they suddenly showed rapid wear signs, not on their surface but on grip and feel. It is quite possible that high summer temperatures (high temp about 32-34 C for 3 months) made them harder or something... Soon they are going to be replaced.
Honestly, my previous experience with Sava Intensa was much better, Perfectas let me down this time. I will try other mid-range tyres that look more promising

Given 50% while driving a Ford Mondeo (185/65 R14 T) on a combination of roads for 19,700 easy going miles
Northeast Greece, my car Mondeo II 1.6 BFP (1999). 4 pieces bought and fitted Sep 2015 (manufactured Apr 2015 , "1518") , for 200€. Descent in dry general with quite lacking on sleepery asphalt while turning or accelareting from 0. Just bad in wet, with slightly better behavior in straight course while traveling in highway with nice surface. Feeling unsure a lot, due to lack of info. Finally 3 years later, the 2 front tyres worn out after 31500 km (19,7 K miles) (12500 Km highway the rest Urban and suburban area) , while the other pair in the back is in better condition 2,5 mm tread. Not to buy them again.

Given 56% while driving a Toyota Corolla (175/65 R14 T) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
These tires will last a good time and are really cheap. Other then that there is not much good with this. Makes your car also a bit dead with steering feeling. You cant feel when the slip or not. Will not buy again there are better tires for the price.

(175/65 R14) on for 0 miles
I had these tires on Renault Clio Symbol and they were the worst I had on this car: very noisy at any speed and very hard materials (so bad feedback from the road). Unlike other drivers on this site, I found Sava Perfecta good on wet conditions and the wear was very low (because they are very hard). Overall the tires offered no pleasure of driving, so I would't buy again.

Given 60% while driving a Fiat Punto 1.2 8v (175/65 R14 T) on mostly town for 30,000 spirited miles
Good at dry for an average or little bit above. Good on wet for average driving. Average tyres with excellent wear.

Given 34% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 16v (175/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 10,000 easy going miles
Having bought these new tyres and within 10.k showing serious wear, I seriously doubt that this tyres are made from rubber. They could have been made from cheap plastic.
I will never buy Sava tyres again.
Dry grip poor,
Wet grip - be extremely careful

Given 80% while driving a Hyundai Atos (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 9,000 average miles

Given 40% while driving a Opel Astra 1.4 (175/70 R13) on mostly town for 10,563 average miles
Very bad tyre, I have them for 2y or 17000 km (10563 miles). Very very bad grip on wet road.
When u driveing 150km/h I had a feeling that there is no any grip (flying tyre)

Given 31% while driving a Kia Motors Pride (165/60 R13) on mostly town for 3,500 average miles
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

Given 47% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa (175/65 R14 T) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
decent grip on dry roads, but show them anything more than a little damp, then you really got to keep your distance; driving to work in the snow was very touch and go, almost impossible to park, and these are a very good advert for all weather or winter tyres!
