Good tire can't complain – Not bad value for money. Most tires are similar but it's not needed to spend huge amounts of cash on rubber unless you race cars. Go for it no problem Show details

Dangerous! – Never heard of these tyres until purchased a 20 year old Cressida with all 4 at 100% new. Granted this is a 200hp rear wheel drive, but the rears break traction very easily. In the dry, care must taken not to kick down a gear when cornering, and braking cannot be any more than firm. In the wet, they are like a set of ice skates. Acceleration… Read more

is very difficult, cornering dangerous, and braking must be very tentative.

Replacement required at 40000 km's.

Only good for trailer tyres. Nothing Slide at any moderate braking, aquaplane really badly, understeer in the wet

Not happy – These tyres were fitted to my 2008 Mitsubishi Colt by the dealership, I asked them for a brand tyre, this is what I got, they are nothing special, lots of road noise, fair in wet weather, the side of the tyre has a lump the size of an egg, the belt has let go, it only has 15000 kms on them, would never consider them again.

OK – I put these on a ford laser and got 3 years and 50000 kms out of them. For a person that doesn't drive in a disorderly manner I think they offer a safe and comfortable drive. The only time my car slid was if I forced it to in the rain. For someone with a more powerful car I would say the tyres would be less impressive but still adequate for daily… Read more

driving.

Unfortunately I think they are over priced considering they are meant to be a budget tyre out of the Goodyear factory. If you can get them for the same price as an equivalent sized Maxxis than buy the Sava tyres, otherwise forget about them. Offered me what I required in a tyre Slightly expensive considering they are meant to be a budget tyre

Excellent – very happy with this product gives good performance in all conditions. they probably more suited to smaller cars. if you read some of the other negative reviews they all seam to be fitted to larger cars that are having problems with grip and such the like. they are a European based company so i would say they are designed with lighter cars in mind. over all i am very happy with my tyres! good tyre for price none all is good with sava! Show reply

A workman-like product – I bought my used car, a 2003 Sonata 15000kms ago with Sava Intensas all round, with about 50% remaining tread. At the time I thought they would probably do another 5000km but right now and after 15000km, they still don't look a lot different. I have found them to be good in both dry and wet conditions, even very wet conditions and even now with… Read more

slightly less than 3mm tread depth, I have never experienced aquaplaning. I don't drive at high speed but I do enjoy spirited cornering and given that the Sonata is nobody's idea of a sports car, I found the Savas to be surprisingly capable and with virtually no tyre squeal. Long wearing, reliable cornering grip, reliable wet weather performance Annoying 'drumming' noise level at motorway speed

Bad – If I cant get them replaced I will tell every one and then some what crap they are.Have had cheaper tyres that had no noise at all. Put them on the front (205/65/R15) of my Falcon. Noisy noisy noisy, made the car sound like a rail car, am going back to Beau's to get them replaced. Hate them.

Terrible – I have 4 on my falcon on highway doing 100kmh and tyre peeled a 1 foot chunk of tread clean off. They're basically new still 95% tread on them. I will be asking for money back worst tyres I've ever owned. I have bought socondhandys from wreckers that havent done remotely anything close and we all know what wrecker tyres are like. These tyres are… Read more

dangerous and need to be recalled in my opinion. It peeled tread off down to the smooth rubber underneath like the tread was just glued on and i can put my whole hand under the remaining tread. ive never even heard of this happening with other tyres so makes you wonder just how dodgy and safe they really are anyone who approves them is probably a distributer trying to flog them off. Im no hoon and even if I was they're near new and like old mate said they're noisy as hell - worst tyre ever. Also had them at 36 PSI so they cant say anything about the tyre pressure and dont let anyone tell you different. there is nothing good about these tyres what so ever Absolutely everything. For somthing suppose to keep you safe on road they sure as hell didn't

Excellent – saved my life in the rain got no abs and the brakes locked but the car stopped from 80kph almost instantly, my car has 185kw and its difficult to skid these. Ive had all the good makes.. pirellis which were also wonderfull but pricey, michelins were superb but extremely pricey, dunlops cant touch the rain as skidding is inevitible. love these… Read more

tyres and for the price phenominal. but still want my miches back lol Grippy!! very grippy. Great looking tyre and no road noise as from what ive gathered. loves the mud grips like poop on a blanket. soft comfortable ride from my 195-50R15s the bad carnage of reveiws from bad drivers

Bad – A full set of 225 60 R16 were fitted to an AU Fairlane V8 when I purchased it, they still have lots of tread left but they are so dangerous in the wet (wheel spin, skidding sideways really gives the antilock brakes a work out) that I am going to replace them either with Goodyear or Bridgestone Cheap & look good Will not handle wet roads

Terrible – Had these fitted to my work ute,AU S2 Straight Gas Not a powerful car at all, Found them to be capable in the dry, but at the slightest moisture on the road they lose all traction, IF YOU DRIVE IN TRAFFIC FOR WORK DO NOT USE THESE, after the first accident i had them taken off, and switched to Maxxis, Still cheap but much better! Cheap, load rating is good for ute, ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS AT THE SIGHT OF RAIN

Terrible – I am replacing them today and can't wait to feel safe again. They are cheaper than other tyres but certainly are not what you would call value for money. None that I can see. Just like everyone else - Absolutely useless in the wet. I have had an accident which I'm sure would not have happened if I had my original tyres. The car slip and slides when taking off at lights in the wet no matter how carefully I accelerate.
