Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
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.
By owner reviews
29/100From 20 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
7/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
By discipline: % of the best tire in each test.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 20 owner reviews found online.
The Sava Perfecta is widely regarded as a budget-oriented tire that struggles significantly with performance, particularly in wet conditions. While some users appreciate its longevity and low price point, the consensus points to a lack of confidence-inspiring grip, poor feedback, and a tendency to harden over time, leading to safety concerns.
Pros
- Affordable price point
- High tread longevity and slow wear rates
- Acceptable performance in dry, low-speed conditions
Cons
- Extremely poor wet weather traction and high aquaplaning risk
- Lack of steering feedback and road feel
- Hard rubber compound that loses grip as the tire ages
- Increased noise levels and lack of comfort
Worth knowing
- Users reported that the tire's hard compound makes it feel 'plastic-like' on smaller vehicles like the Renault Clio, resulting in poor road feedback.
- Drivers of older sedans, such as the Ford Mondeo, noted that the tire lacks stability during highway speeds and on slippery asphalt.
