| Sava Tyres We have been testing the Sava tyres now for around 3 months and have come up with the following information.
The Sava tyres come in two types and three compounds for a dry track.
The 'R' in the tyre wording means reinforced.
So if you use a MRA tyre this means the tyre is reinforced and suited to riders over 70kg and a tyre MA is suited to a rider under 70kg.
The 'A, B or C' in the wording means the compound of the tyre.
'A' is a very soft tyre.
'B' is a soft tyre.
'C' is a medium tyre.
Now the profile of the Sava tyres are very different to the PMT tyre.
PMT tyres are a very broad or wide looking tyre.
Sava tyres are a very noticeable rounded tyre, much like a Honda race tyre.
With this in mind the lean angle of the Sava tyres is much greater than the PMT tyres.
This allows for a quick change over of turning direction into any cornering.
Now when a tyre has a rounder profile and you have the bike leaned over to the maximum, this rounded profile will give you a greater pull out of the corner.
While a pocket bike does not have a gear box, this more rounded profile allows for a type of gear box on a pocket bike.
If you ever measure the distance from the center of the rim to the center outside of a tyre in the middle it is a larger measurement, than the distance from the center of the rim to the outer edge of the tyre.
Thus giving you a ratio to allow more acceleration out of a corner.
So the Sava tyres WILL give you more power than the PMT tyres out of any corners.
The grip of the tyres is also exceptional with the tyres giving the rider a feeling of almost lying on the track around corners, but never letting go of their excellent grip.
Testing the Sava tyres over the PMT tyres, (which we have run for around 6 months also), we have found the Sava tyres to give the rider an edge over the PMT tyres in all conditions we have tested them.
Of the 5 riders used in the tests, all of which have used both the PMT and Sava tyres, ALL agreed the Sava tyres are the tyres they will use from now on.
So here is the rating given by the riders who have tested the Sava tyres.
Priceing:5/5
Wearability: 4/5
Handling: 5/5
Cornering: 5/5
