Introducing the Sava Intensa UHP 2 and the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127, two high-performing summer tyres from the prominent tyre manufacturers, Sava and Hankook. In this review, we'll delve into the defining aspects of these tyres, compare test results, and present an overall verdict based on their strengths and weaknesses.
Starting with the Sava Intensa UHP 2 - an upgraded version of the previous model, Sava Intensa UHP. Our experts rate this tyre a respectable 73%. This budget-friendly tyre impresses in tests for cross aquaplaning and price/value. However, noted weaknesses in the Autobild tests are its understeering wet and dry handling and mediocre aquaplaning reserve. As a result, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 ranks 17th in a comparison of 53 tyres.
Moving on to the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127, a tyre that stands out in the UUHP (Ultra Ultra High Performance) category and gets an impressive overall rating of 81% from our experts. Hailing from South Korea, this tyre is standard equipment on high-end vehicles such as the Audi Q8, Audi SQ8, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X3. This tyre performed extremely well in the dry and wet braking tests and landed a top 3 position in the Autobild test. However, subpar mileage led to some points deduction.
From a head-to-head point of view, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 performs better overall. Its strong showing in the dry and wet braking tests is commendable. Yet, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 holds its ground on cross aquaplaning performance and economic efficiency, ranking 6th in a 16 tyre test by ADAC.
In conclusion, although both tyres show strengths in certain areas, Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 offers a better-rounded performance in terms of both wet and dry braking, hence confirming its place in Ultra Ultra High Performance category. Nevertheless, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 remains a competent choice considering its economic efficiency, highlighting the trade-offs buyers need to consider when choosing a tyre.
