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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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
