New Sava tyres

I have just put on a set of Sava tyres this weekend.

Unfortunately, they are not the ones I have been using for over three years, Rapidex. This [non-directional] pattern is no longer available in our size.

Instead, it is a new directional pattern called Intensa. The price was the same E110 fitted and balanced, so no complaints on that front.

They are not yet scrubbed in, so no chance to check them for grip, but they feel really stable. More importantly, they appear to be very quiet, and have a comfortable ride, factors I put high on the list.

If they are as good as the old ones for wet grip and braking, I will be very happy.

Peter [Nobody], take note, as you may find the old pattern unavailable. Let you know how they are dynamically when bedded in.
