Skoda Octavia vRS Tire Review Highlights

Usually used all season tires but missed the performance of a summer tire in the summer so thought these being designed with a bias for wet weather might be a bit of a half way house between a all season tire and a summer tire in the winter. They do what they say on the tin and have very good aqua planning resistance but I wouldn’t say they are any better in the wet than any other premium summer tire. Comfort is good and they don’t seem to be very noisy either.

Both tires developed large swelling/ blisters- I initially thought it was wheel bearing noise! Garage showed me how lucky I was to not have them blow on me - never again/ don’t wast you money/ put yourself at risk

Dealership slapped these bargain basement boots on my Octavia just before I bought it so it would get through an MOT. My initial thought was I'd keep them on until I wore them out but turns out I'll probably meet my end before that so I'll likely swap them out for set of Eagle F1s or similar to deny the reaper for a little longer. They were... Passable in the dry, car felt like it handled poorly but not in an unsafe way. The wet was a different story, the braking distance was suddenly measured in light-years and the car struggled to both find and keep traction while cornering and in in-gear acceleration (from some moderate but not excessive driving). It felt like my tires had been replaced by some devious little gremlins with 4 circular blocks of ice.
In reality, these tires are probably fine if fitted to a small city car or underpowered hatchback with a driver who is allergic to lateral acceleration. However, I'd make sure you are a beneficiary on their life insurance policy just in the event of a wet emergency stop or alternatively they live in the middle of the Sahara desert or the centre of death valley.

"Made In Germany" These Sava Intensa UHP 2 are made in Germany previous versions were made in the Kranj factory in Slovenia. And Sava is a Slovenian brand. I find these tires very quiet and suit my style of driving. Some might feel that the sidewalls are a little soft but unless you drive very agressivley this is no problem. I feel safe and secure on the road and confident in braking in both dry and wet conditions. Road noise is greatly reduced from previous factory fit Bridgestone tires. Wear wise I don't cover the mileage i once did and tires that last too long will result in tread blocks cracking. There may be better tires out there but for me the Sava Intensa UHP 2 does the job I want them too, at a reasinable price.

Its not the comfiest of tires (noise). But of the other hand it works well, great stability in higher speeds and superb response from the wheels. Wet conditions performance is also solid. I can recommend this tire! Its either continental or Michelin.

I was running michelin pilot supersports, (18s so couldn't get PS4S) but after the review of these vs the PS4S I thought I'd give them a go. I will compare direct to the michelin supersports. handling is just as good, dry grip is just as good, braking just as good,so no problems there , then we come to wet grip.... wow, MUCH better than the supersports. As far as I'm concerned there are no drawbacks to these tires, excellent in every way. equally to the michelin, but better in the wet. Another good thing, much cheaper than the michelin supersports too!

Dry grip was good.
In general the tire was comfortable.
Wet grip was scary a lot of aquaplaning when I went into any amount of water.
Bought a skoda vrs 230 in september that came with p zeros on which i found great in the dry but shocking in the wet so ordered some Avons zv7s on offer £67.00 per tire ! Soooo glad i did it transformed my car no horrid wheelspin in wet and after 6000 miles can say the tires fill you with confidence on wet or dry roads a superb all round tire will be putting on again as i drive a lot in our ever increasing wet weather , well done Avon !

Purchased these Kumho’s to try something different, I usual use Conti, Dunlop or Bridgestone.
I found them average in the dry but shocking in the wet. They did not like any patches of water and pulled the car into water spots but then in the dry they felt like any other tire driving normal but did not take long to reach the limits when driving hard.
I will be going back to my normal choice next time.
