The subject of tyres comes up every so often. I've just put a set (of 195/60 R15) Slovakian Sava Intensa's Unidirectionals on my R25 (I kid you not)... and they are great - quiet & grippy & reasonably priced.

If its any use to you sava the tyre brand are not slovakian they are slovenian.They might be amed for renault because the make some renaults like the 4 long time ago.And i think they make the Megan for South eastern Europe. renault_
Thats interesting i think that make of tyre should be noted down for french car owners.
What about the continental tyres that the new Renaults come with?
What are they like?
Yep - Slovanian, sorry. They were $110 NZ each. What's that? about $130 AU? I keep a good record of maintenance etc, so it will indeed be interesting to see what mileage. It's interesting that when I went shopping "generally" for tyres the tyre man took one look at the R25 and by-passed all the other brands (more expensive) and went straight to the Sava's and said "recommended for Euro cars". Fine so far

Sorry again! Converted the dollar the wrong way in the rush - yes it would make them less than $100. At the moment the difference is $1 NZ buys .89c AU.
Puzzlement in possible rear tyre wear. See new post ref "R25 Rear Wheel lean".
