  • GT Radial Savero SUV

    The SUV seems to be omnipresent in today’s times. In fact, SUVs and crossovers now take up a full 48% of sales of new vehicles in the United States, with light trucks accounting for another huge chunk of the market. They now serve the role of family cars, the kind of duties that were done by big sedans and minivans not that long ago. Many of these SUVs are equipped with all-wheel-drive or 4WD, but many of those also literally never leave the pavement. For those kinds of drivers, all-season tires are a great choice for their year-round versatility, lengthy tread wear with generous warranties, capable handling and quiet, refined ride quality, so we’ll be taking a closer look at the GT Radial Savero SUV.

    Here at SimpleTire, we’ve been pretty consistently impressed with everything we’ve seen in the GT Radial tire family, and the Savero SUV is no exception when it comes to performance and value. The tire has been rated an average score of 7.3 as per our SimpleScore system. Let’s go through the details of this GT Radial Savero SUV review, shall we?

    Features and Benefits

    GT Radial Savero SUV

    The GT Radial Savero SUV is an all-season tire built for both CUVs and SUVs. It offers buyers plenty of features and benefits, as visible below:

    • Long wear: Advanced tread formulation is rich with silica additives for great wear properties and confident grip in wet weather
    • Prevents hydroplaning: All-season tread with wide circumferential grooves, angled grooves, and lateral grooves acts as a system to remove water from the tire’s contact patch, preventing hydroplaning
    • Stability at high speeds: Continuous center rib helps enhance straight-line stability and deliver a steering response that’s light and crisp
    • Warranty: Covered by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
    • Low road noise: Tread pitch is randomized and computer-tuned to keep road noise to a minimum by canceling certain frequencies and harmonics
    • Traction through sipes: Tread surface area and traction are multiplied due to a network of sipes, hundreds of hair-thin slits that bite through snow, slush, and standing water
    • Good cornering ability: Large, bold shoulder blocks are reinforced for sharp and confident cornering

    Pros and Cons

    PROS:

    • Great cornering ability
    • Good traction
    • Generous 50,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life coverage
    • Ride quality is quiet and refined
    • Handling is capable and predictable
    • Great road manners and straight-line tracking

    CONS:

    • Not good off-road
    • Can be noisier on some pavement surfaces
    • Not good in heavier snow or ice

    With an all-season tire like the GT Radial Savero SUV, you probably shouldn’t expect the kind of cornering ability and handling dynamics that you’d get with a summer tire or UHP tire. Still, the Savero SUV is quick and nimble; it goes where you point it, with cornering ability that’s precise and predictable. Steering response is light and accurate but never overly touchy or sensitive, and straight-line driving at highway speed is easy and solid without being numb or sluggish.

    On wet pavements, the Savero SUV’s groove system does a great job of mitigating any tendency towards hydroplaning, with short braking distances and handling due to the combination of small tread blocks and lateral sipes. Ride quality is serene, and the Savero SUV doesn’t lose its composure easily over broken pavement or irregular surfaces, although pattern noise can get a little louder on some pavements. A 50,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty is about average, but then again, remember that this is a tire that starts at less than $80 per tire. We tend to think that the price point sweetens the deal quite a bit with the GT Radial.

    In many cases of budget-priced tires, you’re going to get what you pay for, and you should realize that from the start. With the GT Radial Savero SUV, though, this is a tire that punches far above its weight class in terms of features, performance and overall value. It’s a tire that compares pretty favorably with premium tires that cost much, much more and the SimpleTire team would recommend it without reservation.

    Vehicles the GT Radial Savero SUV is a good replacement tire for

    The RB-SUV from Ironman isn’t featured as OEM on any trucks, but it would make a great replacement tire for light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers such as:

    • Ford Explorer
    • Buick Enclave
    • Chevrolet Uplander
    • GMC Acadian
    • Jeep Grand Cherokee
    • Honda Ridgeline
    • Toyota 4Runner
    • Nissan Pathfinder
    • BMW X5
    • Dodge Journey
    • Genesis GV70
    • Hyundai Tucson
    • Jaguar F-Pace
    • Lexus RX350
    • Mazda CX-7
    • Tesla Model X
    • Toyota RAV4
    • Volkswagen Taos
