Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire 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.

Lowest wear on test, good in the dry.
Weakness in the wet.
The Sava Intensa hp 2 offers good performance on dry roads and, with the highest mileage in the test, very good wear behavior. In the wet, however, it shows weaknesses that lead to the devaluation of the overall rating. Overall, the tire is rated as recommendable.

Top 3 Sava Intensa HP2 Reviews

Given 56% while driving a Toyota Avensis (205/60 R16) on mostly motorways for 15,000 spirited miles
Did about 20000km and tire start falling apart… purchased in 2021 but this year changing them.
Guess due to the fact that is budget tire does not fit agressive driving style.
Dry grip excellent once they reach running temperature… rain grip - not something I would be amazed but aah ok…
Noted that is falling apart carried out geometry -Perfect, tire pressure as per vehicle manufacturers recommendation, wheel ballancing 0 gr on all 4 wheels, tred wear even on all 4 wheels …
Will not buy again SAVA

Given 44% while driving a Kia Motors Rio (185/65 R15) on mostly town for 12,000 spirited miles
I am mostly used to driving more premium tires, but on one of my cars i have these sava tires.
I would say on dry roads the grip is adequate, handling is okay, nothing special, but not dangerous. In the wet the braking is extremely long, handling leaves loads to be desired, traction is very bad..
I honestly cant reccomend these tires, as for a slightly higher price you can get tires which wont leave you terrified in the rain. They do grip a LOT better in the rain when they are warmed upm but i use this car as a city car so its not often i have a chance to get them to temperature. I do about 3k miles per season with this car, the tread is basically like new after 4 years.
Car is Kia Rio 1.4 CVVT 2012, which had bad handling characteristics to start off, these tires dont help its case.

Given 93% while driving a Toyota Avensis (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Bought them as was told them as told that is owned by Good Year. Did about 10000 spirited km on them. Good traction on dry, excellent feedback, once they get running temperature even better grip whether dry or wet, high speed rainy day no aquaplaning or very very slight aquaplaning. Price/ performance 10/10. Very good tire wear. Would by again - yes recommend.

Given 96% while driving a Skoda Octavia 5e 1.6crtdi 4x4 (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 6,000 average miles
Had no money for premium tires. I read that in budget category these tire will match with my driving style. I drive 80km back and forth everyday to my wotkplace, on hilly country roads in Hungary. During morning hours the surface can be wet and slippery. For these tires these conditions were no problem. I had enough feedback while taking corners. Quite short braking distance, good straight aqua. If you drive defensively these tires could be a really pocket friendly and wise choice.

Given 88% while driving a Renault Megane 3 1.5 dCi (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,500 spirited miles
Much more than expected! Silent, soft, good tire! I have them only 3 months and excellent experience with them, so far!!! We ll see after a year or two are they good enough & equal quality as in the beginning! And I dont know anything about their durability, yet. I had Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 before, the best summer tires I ever had, fuel saving, but loud, and I ve spent them after 50.000km
