PR is an abbreviation of "ply rating". This label originally indicated the number of layers of cotton fishing line in the shell. A large number of bearings means a higher load capacity. When stronger materials were introduced for bearings, this term was removed from the actual number of bearings. Currently, a tire with 8 PR can only have four nylon linear bearings. Today, the stability of a controlled tire is expressed in terms of load capacity and speed capacity, and not in terms of the ply rating.
The brand’s origins lie in Kranj, Slovenia where one of the plants producing Sava tyres is still located. Sava has joined up with Goodyear in 1998 and today it fully belongs to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
For more than 85 years the Sava brand is well-known across Europe for manufacturing high-quality tyres. Sava offers a complete and wide range of tyres as a genuine alternative to more expensive brands. When buying Sava tyres, you know that you are making a quality choice: reliable tyre performance at a reasonable price.
