What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Sava Intensa UHP is widely regarded as a high-value budget summer tire that offers impressive comfort and dry-road performance. While many users praise its longevity and price-to-performance ratio, opinions are polarized regarding its wet-weather capabilities and noise levels as the tread wears down.

Pros

  • Excellent value for money compared to premium brands
  • Strong dry-road grip and handling
  • High levels of ride comfort and low noise when new
  • Good tread life and durability

Cons

  • Increased road noise as the tire ages
  • Inconsistent wet-weather performance
  • Potential for traction loss under heavy acceleration
  • Steering feedback can feel sluggish or less sharp

Worth knowing

  • Users with higher-torque FWD vehicles reported significant traction issues during acceleration.
  • Drivers of mid-sized sedans like the Volvo S60 and Saab 9-3 noted a marked improvement in ride comfort and noise reduction compared to previous premium tires.
  • Some users noted that the tire's performance characteristics change noticeably once the tread depth reaches the halfway point.
