Review of Sava Eskimo Stud 205/55/16 + crash test
An overview of the available studded tires Sava Eskimo Stud.
Full size
Interesting protector with straight slats(as the source was used maternal Goodyear Ultra Grip Extreme), bonded inside a rubber limiters, gives a specific behavior. Namely, the unexpectedly rapid loss of traction on ice and snow and very sharp stabilization back. All this can become an unpleasant surprise for beginners – so the bus it is better to buy a car with ESP. Tires balanced on all four types of coverage: snow, ice, wet and dry asphalt, and have no failures in any category. Sava is particularly well behaved on dry and wet pavement, but not saved before the snow and ice.
Strengths:
— balanced results on all surfaces with no failures in any category
— good grip on dry and wet pavement
— quiet
comfort when driving irregularities
— average breakdown sidewall
Weaknesses:
harsh, like "asphalt", the behavior on snow/ice
— require good driving skills on slippery surfaces

Goodyear Ultra Grip rolled, elegant, rubber, don't buy any of that, the quality will not.Although vtyuhivali the seller, with the same words))) this is a copy. Can't a good copy cheaper, then the raw material was saved, but it is not the same. By the way the price is not much different paying for a set of about 1000-1500 normal tires to buy. Right now I took the new TOYO Velcro, great everything.

Once again duplicates test driving. Yes, this is a subjective assessment, however, it is this: among the studded tires Sava "made" Toyo, simultaneously capturing the Yokohama and Bridgestone.

And the return of production no one lays 10-20 years because the term of sale of specified models of rubber on the market for 3-4 years. And during this time, she must not only recover, but also profit to give.
I think Sava does not profit ? Gives and good) due to them they can another 3-4 years certain models of tires to hold) Under the main brand did not seem solid, and everything is in order)
Really chtoli believe that Toyo Nokian better ?) Oh well) I, for one, think that the Velcro is all crap. The decision exclusively by the city. And while ice has not appeared, otherwise it is not much different from summer. Say what you will, but on the ice and reel only spikes hold.
Everyone has their own opinion, and perhaps that is why so many companies make products. And the Nokian's really not that long ago. Good Velcro holds perfectly. With spikes gone 5-6 years ago and have no regrets. By the way it was the last Nokian studded. After the left and from the spikes and from the company. On pure ice spikes win of course, but on ice there is nothing to drive without a head. And sometimes the ice just a week or two a year that we have)

The same plant in Poland, same shape, same material. It's not even a copy, and the same rubber. The model is not fresh, so reduce the price. And even more can't rubber under the logo cost as much as Sava Goodyear — not buy.
I'd rather walk'll walk, than Sava buy, as well as Kama, bear, and everything else. Nokian is also there ))) was true 9 years ago, they were riding right now is a disaster, and spikes rejects ))) Switched to Velcro and I don toyo pritenzy no, and more Yes, quite a ridiculous amount. While laboratory data on the composition of the rubber will not be in the public domain, do not believe that Sava and goodier completely the same. The price of all mortgaged, and profit, something I do not believe that someone will freely abandon it, especially in the West, where the payback period of production inherent in 10-20 years, not 1 year as in Russia, so cheaper, she can't just 100-300rub. but no more, the rest will go into the lower quality, maybe not much for the average buyer, but still. Although as we have in vomiting, I want all machines to select, at every turn as the truck zalamyvayutsya ))) they can, and so in the summer to crawl.
In General, I have to rubber no questions. Normal winter tires. And security first and foremost depends on the gasket between wheel and seat.
Comrade 16 German seems happy, in the snow, rowing, ice like holds.
Someone on the drive wrote that the poles have worse grip, though, I think it's the width of the rubber is also affected.

Cathal Kalina on this Sava - buzzing at first, but as pinned, then good)
And Yes, Sava is dochurka Goodyear

Generally lisana!one to one.
Have ig35 protector not so rounded .
But vserano ig 35 was only good on snow, ice for her badly — spikes do not tear and scratch like a kitten ... fear gauge (( ig 55 liked on the ice, but the track ((
4 seasons and not a single ship lost! On a second machine bought the same chic rubber at a reasonable price
On the second machine use that rubber. For your money great. Punctures, hernias, damage to the sidewalls, mass mortality of thorns is not fixed.
This winter took Sava Eskimo Ice Velcro, the size is 215/55/17, made in Germany. Very happy with the choice, someone out there walk would be better to go to someone Michelin Alpin, bring, — nice to live not forbid! Quality and taxiing for the money on top!
is this for the office the car, the grip is not bad, price is good, and actually do not have to.
Each year, the manufacturers claim that the new Resina better than before. When there's no bad rubber?
Is such at Rapid speeds. Very confidently holds the road. Behavior is predictable. Perhaps it is also in the car, but... the Cost is small by the way. About quiet — I disagree. Noisy, IMHO because of the deep tread.
standards rezâ! took the advice of a friend with ONE... the money especially was not... so I respect the bridgestone ice cruiser... but Sava's standards!
Rubber full bottom! One of the worst Osipovich, Goodyear anything worthwhile since the Ultra Grip 500 did not!

Who and hack 7 not really, but who the charm of Chinese cramps or Matador praises, to sava noisy, heavy and hard.
Neeeeeeee, Tovarisch. You are not right. Stood the vaunted Hankook Winter i*Pike W409 season 3, so when I first time put, thought my wheel bearings died. The buzz was like a 747 ;) on the rise. Have sinned in the similarity collapse. Drove to the service, but no truncated normal. And rode 3 winters with an ungodly roar. Now was taken Savka with spines to replace Hank, it is heaven and earth. The white-headed duck HUM at all, only the rustling spines if the asphalt will leave. Grace. The spines have prenatal, normal flight. So it is not necessary to slander on normal tires!

And you are on V8 or V12 go? For example on a 1.6 motor machine in iron shoes, sluggish on acceleration, and put the other float, and flow with it at least 10% more than the normal sharp pains.

Then why write that it Oh..., rubber middling will go to Kalina and largus service, a decent car it is not the place.
And you have a decent car, yeah?)))
For example, the gt radial champiro icepro will be better in all respects, and cheaper, so whether it is their money issue. Is and both on 2 work the same largus sava is clearly losing everything.
I didn't write it. And what about other brands: we went on the Bear and Jodhpurs. and Goodyear. out of all Goodyer pleased. And Sava for the money very good tires. And I am COMPLETELY satisfied.
Ie he think sava lousy rezâ? I specifically wrote what she is inferior to other brands, very seriously.
Then why write that it Oh..., rubber middling will go to Kalina and largus service, a decent car it is not the place.
Rubber is better than Chinese type hemisphire, gt radial etc, and premium brands, she is still very far away.
well, I guess. you are trying to convince me? it's all utter crap. consumption has not increased., only тсыы00, anyone...

noisy — I agree that heavy — you wear it?, hard not noticed, and looking to compare.
Yes, I have only about 3 pounds weighs 1 cylinder, 185\75\15 so the conversation ochem
It rubber different weight — for example 17, the radius of the sava and Michelin x-ice nord 3 will be the difference of 3-4 kg with the tank, and the noise to each his own, put on the Audi where the guise of normal in the database — save me noisy, bearable Goodyear, Michelin, fine.

Chumki I have on a cheap Fiat Doblo no, but rubber can't hear. Saved a couple of times during emergency braking. Behaves very predictable. Sometimes I go and 130-140. No noise. No hardness felt. What is severe — I do not understand at all. There are heavy rims — not?
Yes what here to argue ride the bear x-ice nord 3, Goodyear UltraGrip and the result is obvious, sava is not the best Chinese gt radial, only China, though the price is cheaper.

I liked the review !
The author wrote honestly "good grip on dry and wet asphalt." Why do we need spikes on the pavement? That's right — in the furnace )
I read all this "mess" yet.Sunday was in a hurry went to a nearby city road as usual in the suburbs . The rate was 130-150 negative aspects were noted gentlemen Schumacher and experts generalists with narrow possibilities. Not satate people head. And do not force people otsebyachinu.
First time bought for this season these are the tires in the same dimension. Before that went to different hakkapelitta, then the Nordmann.
No complaints from me to rubber SAVA no. Everything is fine and predictable. Rowing well. Brakes, accelerates.

Studdable islets too small, and although on the test it has not lost its spikes, in real life they probably like Godere everything clean will take off in a year
on two machines in two years and all the thorns in place, I think the new owners are still riding on them.
Here is a direct fiercely proplus! Well, almost no one knows about the run-in rubber spiked.
BIZNESINSIDER
Some use their teeth to old age go, and someone on the fourth top ten all fall apart, so I think is not quite right so categorical, guided only by his own example, to do the affirmative and generalizing conclusions.
First, it is not a secret that around the bus-source there's been a lot of talk about the fact that she has such a feature, as the loss of spikes. I admit, there are reviews of people who have over the years of operation the cleats are not lost. What exactly is a tie — I don't know and didn't have to figure it out, but it may be driving style and the type/weight of vehicle and weather conditions, it may depend on the plant or the party, maybe it's all marriage, Yes, anything can be. He had seen several times these tires are practically without thorns if the integrity of the protector, including was such on one of my machines from the past owner. I remember even as sellers in shops is not advised to take this rubber with the link to complaints about the loss of spines, although she has the most beautiful figure was then.
Secondly, I only assume that judging by similarity to the source here, too, with spikes may be the same situation, because here we see that the island under the spike is small enough, this fact and explained the loss of thorns — like weak island, the tires are the same place around the ship more solid surface, they lost less (although a lot depends on properties of rubber and of a spike, but still).
Run need to operate, then the spikes will not fly.
Yes good rubber. And no, I have not only cap, but even abs. Saved a couple of times during emergency braking on the ice and on wet roads. All suggest.
the studding did not go, and Eskimo for the second set put in, and his wife in the Taco truck ice put. the ratio price/quality is the best rubber in my opinion!
in rowing well, and holds the road! have we ever had a snowy winter. never any where not stuck on the back of the drive without a single help system.
Standing on the working Volvo 1 season, then stood a season at largus — everything is OK. holds the Road well, the spikes are not particularly flying.
The same Goodyear Extreme. Front all spikes povyrubali, now only visible roots. Here are spikes that are not even crushed, and clippers the past. Behaves completely in summer even with spikes. The most disgusting and unsafe tires. No one would suggest such to take.
coming to the end of the third winter on it.
not failed even once.
roll on all types of roads (first of the ice and snow in the area, then wet and dirty ring)
all is well, if not borsite.
was estival wheel on the pit (drive — great piece of metal bent. the lid intact)
Liked the movement of the wheel. Accurate, the main thing is smooth, without twists and search zuchini here and there.
Well, then nefig do to stay in such places))) But we are talking about standard urban conditions), Well she and porridge snow-dirty and on the ice feels.
Not true), the Protector is tear off the top snow and roll on the strip of snow like Velcro, and quite a spikes dig into the ice.
I have my 17 Velcro for the 5K wheel bought.
And is Toya, not govnodav some.
You are so funny Velcro precultivated past me when I stopped at gonaive 5th season holds 97% of the spikes. ABS floundering, the wheel spin, and the snow was only penny dropped)
I splendom front arch liners rolled up inside-the silence and grace, even on thorns, rear from the factory type of felt.I'm good in General, then, chose the analogue of the rubber where you previously traveled Pirelli Winter Carving, Amtel pattern is very similar-I'm not sorry.
elephant I did not notice. on my car were rubber that is ST. 2014 that is. for two winters never lost one spike, but there was no)). each start with a slip, a braking with abs. and on the rails of the tram I was once almost kicked into the oncoming lane at speeds of 25-30 mph.
a Goodyear UltraGrip. exactly six months of operation, all spikes in place. where able to drive will be able to leave. but wildly booming on the pavement in +temperature.
6 seasons already skated,1колесо to the chest cord increased dramatically slowed down in the pit until the pile Sudanese. Front tires 20% of the spikes left on the rear 80%.I have Amtel Nord Master II and I think this is a great rubber quality/price.My father stood Amtel Nord Master ST-this is shit, then I agree, the second season of bald and cord sailed on 2 wheels.
Now Kama Euro in front of me, behind Amtel remained the same, so just about dubene-Amtel soft, Kama kalbaska from the first season.Look at cama, already 10% of the spikes left, XS what will happen in the second season.
Kleetus
Was the choice to take or Sava or Kama Euro, took the second for a drawing of the same Amtel Nord Master II (and his identical Pirelli Winter Carving) which I am more than satisfied-5 seasons skated spikes remains 30%, KORD took on one wheel.
What I want to say, Kama Euro worse for Amtel't take out on the ice, sanded not just out of the blue, she oak, but goes to principle and not throwing the car around the track anywhere-it is quite suitable.Sava has cost me more for a couple of thousand for a set, but the picture is not pleasant, although slightly different from Kama.
I do not agree with the fact that Amtel — norms. shit, not rubber. can new and nothing will be, but after a couple of years dubeet and glides like a bald, even if all the spikes are in place and the slats wore out. check for yourself. I'm on the Chinese nhexane not get involved as the Amtel entom shit. I apologize for my French.
Cheap and cheerful, I don't care who thinks and goes, okay, skated and throw-do not mind, racing is not satisfied.

I have these tires, winter drove it, the impression is only positive, fell two spikes on one wheel, EVERYTHING! the rest of the whole, and in the pit I got is not enough
Went to gudger extreme, in snow and on ice as a summer no clutch. only pavement this bus can be assigned.
Forestoll
And who shipout in Russia? Looking at the photos, they seem to come non-studded...
in the fall I took this in the store, was not of thorns, but to me they are not needed...
3rd season skated in the rubber, ALL the thorns in place)))) Quality it is happy completely!
+1, the season on the back of the drive quite ass worked) does not breakdown in books much later than his time was the Bridgestone IceCruiser totalthreads) Plus I have 205\65\15, milder than 195я. Although the price is 10 percent different.
Great tires. Special praise is snow! Rowing be healthy... while on the bottom will not sit down. The noise itself is not (the main buzz missing). Rubber soft, which is good for the North. In the city and on the road behave predskazuemo and dignity. The bulk of the population adequately in the winter the machine is not used, a "Schumacher"... fuck everyone. And no special skills are necessary! utter nonsense — the recommendation for the limits of the tires, and the people car in the winter in the city, and on the road so don't drive!, in drift it with the right choice of speed limits will not go away, the clutch is great. Confident you feel with them. Good review, but the recommendations need to let in normal operation for the target audience
