2014 Auto Review Summer Tire Test - 205/55 R16
Slovenian company Sava wholly is owned by Goodyear since 2004, and the cooperation between the companies began in 1995. That is now all sold tires Sava created under the supervision of specialists of the company directly or Goodyear. Knowing the strengths of tires Goodyear, we figured that Sava tires will work well on wet pavement. Alas. Coupling properties of extremely low - when braking from a speed of 50 mph the vehicle will require additional ten meters free road! And on the road handling - the worst time. And the arrowhead tread pattern has not met expectations: aquaplaning starts very early. On dry pavement braking performance mediocre, and on the road handling at the limit the car slides at the rear axle. Have to adjust the trajectory of the wheel hard, if late, the car falls into a dangerous skid. But with a quiet ride, enjoy the silence in the cabin - Sava tires are not the softest, but one of the quietest in our test. However, Intensa model is leaving the market - it is replaced by the tires Sava Intensa HP. Hopefully, more quality.
