Barum Bravuris 2

Switched from P-zero manufacturer fitted (MO) tyre to this tyre after researching and reading several reviews. Tyre is part of the Continental family and performs above its mid-range price. Only real difference I have noticed is a stronger wet grip, which is a positive, the negative being a little more flex / play in the sidewall (lateral movement) through tight bends. I am going to pourchase the same for my fronts when the OEMs are worn out. Car 2011 E350 Coupe cdi blue- efficiency sport. UK Roads.

Was wiery at first to say the least..

However, once the usual wax covering had worn off.. my god they grip! For what seems like a relativaly cheap tyre they are very good! I have bridgestones on the back and these barum's on the front and the B/Stones give up easier!

I have now done about 6,000 miles since having the fronts changed, wearing evenly and not wearing quickly! They are also much quieter than the B/stones.

Having done some research into Barum, it turns out it is a "budget" brand made by Continential! Having read up on them and experienced them first hand, i wouldnt say they are budget at all.

The rears are shortly due a replacement and i will defo use Barums again!

Just replaced with same. lasted 12k miles on front backs still lots left.
Were nearly down to wear indicators and it showed on wet roads with less grip and some aquaplaning. will buy these every time.

These tyres are made by Continental in their eastern european factory(second biggest tyre plant in the world)so they are on a par with most of the premium brands. They have excellent grip and are very quiet on my cabriolet

These tyres were fitted on the car when I bought it si I don't know exactly when they were put on the car. I've now driven some 23k miles and the front tyres still have some life left in them. Went through the winter of 2010 with all the snow and had no problems. I've just started to look at replacements before the end of the year and would buy these tyres as price seems very competitive.

Great tyre for the price...Very comfortable..... virtually no rolling resistance, great fuel economy..... maybe not as sharp as some of the higher priced tyres but overall great value for money and highly recommended

Well to all the tyre snobs, think on, I had 4 contis on my car since new, so I have just renewed all 4 tyres to Barum Bravuris 2's, All 4 tyres fitted just over £300, These tyres were a good old buy, Road noise with them is excellent better than the Contis who ironically make Barums! Dry and wet grip no probs at all unless your in the Seb Vettel or Jenson Button catagory of driving, just as good handling and grip as the previous contis!
In snow the contis were just a no no, so I will be looking to see if the Barums are any different but certainly wont be any worse than the contis!
So if you are in the market for a very decent tyre at a very decent price have a look past the big names and have a look at the good old Barums (made in euroland), so far so good.
PS after reading that you would think I am a Barum sales rep, I defo do not work for Barum haha!

Replaced Michelin tyres with Barums. Over the last 10,000 (mostly-motorway) miles the Bravuris 2's cornering and breaking has been excellent. I genuinely trust these tyres in the wet and I frequently drive on windy country lanes at speed.

I would suggest these offer a comfortable drive rather than a sporty drive, and this opinion is probably shaped by my Rover 75s soft suspension.
