    Has anyone used and willing to share some feedback for the Sava Intensa UHP tire? i found it on a 245€ offer which is quite intriging for this price but never used a budget tire.

    Continental always win these tests. Nokian Z Line is best real world performer in my experience.

    Yes tire tests!!! Michelin PS 4 in 245 40 18 on a Volvo V 70: lots of grip dry and wet, quiet and very comfortable, AND NO TRAMLINING at all! The Pirelli PZero Rosso follows every little groove and makes the car so bad do drive...I never read about tramlining in any test so why should I trust a tiretest? On the Volvo 940 I had the same, Pirelli tramlined really bad,Conti Spc2 and Vredestein nothing at all....

      Not only this, but the Michelin tire massively downgraded for the only fault it has a bit higher wear.
