In this article, we are comparing two notable summer tyres: the Sava Intensa UHP 2 and the Nokian Powerproof. Both tyres have been rigorously tested and reviewed, providing solid performances according to the data.
The Sava Intensa UHP 2, manufactured by Sava, is a notable upgrade from the original Sava Intensa UHP. Our rating stands at a solid 73%, validating its strong performance. The tyre has demonstrated excellent aquaplaning safety reserves and stability on dry roads with short wet and dry stopping distances in Autobild 2023 test, leading to a praiseworthy position of 28 out of 50. The economical pricing and good comfort are a great plus, though it should be noted there were some concerns about its limited mileage.
On the other hand, the Nokian Powerproof, manufactured by Nokian, boasts a good rating of 71%. The tyre excels in dry braking and wet braking, earning it the 2nd position from the Autobild test, among 50 tyres. The Nokian Powerproof impresses with its dynamic wet handling and short braking distances, as per Autobild 2022 test. However, its performance on dry surfaces could be better, with delayed steering and low stability. Just like the Sava Intensa UHP 2, mileage also seems to be limited.
When both tyres went head-to-head in the ADAC test, Sava Intensa UHP 2 secured 6th position showcasing its aquaplaning resistance, fuel efficiency, and mileage whereas Nokian Powerproof landed the 11th spot with commendations for its noise and interior noise features.
In conclusion, both Sava Intensa UHP 2 and Nokian Powerproof are viable options with their strengths and weaknesses. Your final choice will depend on your specific needs and driving conditions. Sava Intensa UHP 2 might be a better choice for you if you prioritize safety and stability on wet and dry roads, and price is a factor. The Nokian Powerproof does well in braking under both wet and dry conditions and is praised for its low noise, however, comes at a higher price.
