The latest summer tire
Perfecta is characterized by optimized contour and special 4-rib tread design resulting in more rubber in contact with the road. The new tire contour and tread design together with a special tread compound ensure high mileage, regular tread wear and excellent performance on wet road surfaces, specially excelling in braking and handling. All this makes Perfecta the best choice for economic and safe drive.
The summer tyre for high mileage and low fuel consumption
- Low fuel consumption
- Dependable dry and wet handling and braking
- High mileage
- Low noise levels
Low noise levels. A quieter tyre gives you a more comfortable ride and reduces noise pollution. The perfecta's tread blocks are designed to reduce noise levels.
Low fuel consumption. Save on petrol bills. The perfecta’s low-weight construction and tread design combine to make the tyre easier to roll, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Dependable dry and wet handling and braking. The perfecta delivers reliable handling in both dry and rainy conditions. Our special rubber compound is optimised for good braking performance on wet roads. Wide grooves in the tread pattern disperse water easily, keeping you in control.
High mileage. Get more mileage for your money. The perfecta is shaped to keep more rubber in contact with the road so that wear occurs more slowly. The special rubber compound is long-wearing for extra durability.
The Sava Perfecta is an economical summer tyre that saves on fuel and lasts for longer. Find your nearest Sava perfecta dealer here.
The European Tyre Label
Introduction
Since 1st November, 2012 all tyres made after 1st July, 2012 must show the European Tyre Label.
Benefits
The European Union has developed this new provision to promote economic and ecological efficiency and ensure road safety.
Disadvantages
The Tyre Label can provide an overview and give the customer more transparency, but it only covers three criteria. For an
extensive evaluation of a tyre, however, far more performance characteristics are relevant. Especially in the search for
suitable winter tyres the test results from different test institutions such as the
ADAC are much more stringent.
We'd like to point out that it is the manufacturer that labels the tyre and provides us with this information. If you
do not find the label values, either the manufacturer did not inform us of the label, or the product was manufactured
before July, 2012. Before that date, tyres had not yet been required to carry a label, so in some cases it is possible to
purchase a tyre without a Tyre Label.
Symbols
The tyres are classified in terms of three performance characteristics:
• Fuel Efficiency (letters A to G)
• Wet Grip (letters A to G)
• External Noise
Take action
Finally, it is the driver that determines the fuel consumption. In order to reduce this over the long-term, by being careful
during acceleration drivers can become more fuel-efficient and environmentally conscious.
Regularly checking tyre pressure helps to improve rolling resistance, reduces energy loss, and supports optimum adhesion in
wet conditions. To reduce the risk of accidents and ensure your and the safety of other road users, always keep a reasonable
distance.

tyres from our extensive range of products.
Fuel Efficiency
The classification in terms of fuel efficiency is divided into seven classes, from the A-class (the highest) to G-class (the
lowest). A tyre in the A-class consumes 0.1 litres less at 100km than a tyre in the B-class. An essential component for fuel
efficiency is the rolling resistance or rolling friction.
Rolling Resistance
Rolling resistance is the force that opposes motion. It is formed, for example, when a wheel is rolling. Rolling resistance
depends not only on the geometry but also on the properties of the material.
Average
Average value is between C-E. Class D is not used.
Wet grip
It shows how efficient the vehicle can brake on wet roads. Wet grip is an important feature especially with summer tyres.
Class A has the highest safety and the shortest braking distances. Class F has low security and the longest braking distance.
The wet grip classes are based on test driving on wet roads with a speed of approximately 80 km/h. The difference between the
braking distance of the tyres is 3-5 feet per grade. E.g., the difference in braking distance between Class A and Class F are
up to 18 metres.
Average
The average value of the tyres is between class B-E. Class D and G is not used.
Tyre Noise
The symbol indicates the external rolling noise in decibels and as a 3 class sound wave symbol to clarify whether the tire can
keep the recommended level. External rolling noise does not correspond to tyre noise inside the compartment.
A continuous sound level above 80 decibel can cause health problems.
Symbol
Three sound waves symbolize the worst results. These are the tyres that exceed the maximum limit of approval. A symbol of 2
sound waves have noise level that corresponds with the approved sound level. Tyres that are marked with 1 sound wave are over
three decibel quieter than the approval.
