Sava PERFECTA review
The Sava Perfecta is widely regarded as a budget-oriented tire that struggles significantly with performance, particularly in wet conditions.

Pros
- Affordable price point
- High tread longevity and slow wear rates
- Acceptable performance in dry, low-speed conditions
Cons
- Extremely poor wet weather traction and high aquaplaning risk
- Lack of steering feedback and road feel
- Hard rubber compound that loses grip as the tire ages
- Increased noise levels and lack of comfort
Worth knowing
- Users reported that the tire's hard compound makes it feel 'plastic-like' on smaller vehicles like the Renault Clio, resulting in poor road feedback.
- Drivers of older sedans, such as the Ford Mondeo, noted that the tire lacks stability during highway speeds and on slippery asphalt.
