These were fitted to the car (front only)when I bought it second hand, and although there was plenty of tread left, I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. When I tried to accelerate from a standing start, I found the wheels scrabbling and the nose of the car waving all over the place. No grip at all. Cornering was a nightmare, as was braking. And that was on a dry road. I'll leave the wet to your imagination, but as I drive a lot, including on German motorways(120mph plus), they had to go. Since I've fitted the Bridgestone Turanzas I usually use, the car goes the way it's supposed to. Never, ever fit Sava tyres to anything except an ox cart.
