Barum Bravuris 2 Reviews

Given 70% (breakdown) while driving a Vauxhall Vectra SRI 1.9 (150) (215-50-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 20,000 average miles
Bought 4 tyres in May last year and have covered 20k+ miles. Comfort and noise are good and wear is excellent. All 4 are wearing evenly and the rears look as though they could do the same mileaage again so I'll rotate them soon. Wet driving is not too bad at sensible speeds and dry is reassuringly grippy. The one let-down was getting used to the roly-poly nature when I first bought them. The sidewalls are not the strongest and if I did any 'vigorous' cornering the car would roll about like a yacht causing me to over-correct. At first I thought I was driving much too fast but then realised it was definitely the tyres. The car would lean into a bend as normal and then give a small but noticeable lurch (like when liquid swashes to one side of a tank) It was a very weird experience but the answer was to simply modify my driving style to suit the tyres and I've had no problems since. If you are an enthusiastic driver then I suspect these will not be the tyres for you but driving within 'reasonable' parameters they are as good as most top makes. From someone who always used to pay for top-of-the-range tyres and who, like most, can no longer afford extortionate prices, these 'budget' ones are almost as good in every way except for wear which is even better.

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Just had these tyres fitted yesterday and so far i really cant complain. I work in the motor trade and have done for years and our customer feedback on these tyres have been really good and they say that they match, if not, better that premium brands out there for less cost.

Fuel efficiency ratings are better - Barums are rated 'C' and Continnentals are an 'F' or a 'G'

Db ratings is 71db (same as conti's)

All in all- im pretty impressed.

Had originally Goodyear excellence tyres fitted. Can't complaint. Really good quiet tyres. Lasted 36000 miles. When time has come to change tyres I was recommended by a friend to try Barum ones. I was skeptical initially, however they are really not bad. I can't say that I can feel much of a difference in comparisson with Goodyear ones. These tyres also quiet and grip is good enough both wet and dry for casual town and motorway driving. However, Barum has a big advantage - the price (almost twice cheaper than Goodyear). Would I by it again? Definitely.

Given 91% (breakdown) while driving a Vauxhall zafira 1.6 (195-65-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Owned my Zafira for 5 years and had Continental 2's. Not impressed with noise or in snow, ice or wet. Last year changed over to Barum Bravuris 2's... Grips well on dry or wet roads, performed well on ice and snow and quieter than previous brand. Driving through inner city Manchester often have to break hard several times a day due to motorists just pulling out of junctions. Seem's shorter stopping distance now. Driving through recent snow on motorways gripped a treat. Now done 2000 mls on different roads and not much ware evident. Would I recommend them? Would I buy them again? OH YES! Especially buy one get one free from certain tyre places.

bought & fit a pair of Barum Bravuris2 tyres 4 weeks ago,unfortunately i can only assume the dry grip performance will be as good as the wet weather grip,{not seen any dry weather since} these tyres replaced a pair of 'cheap' budget tyres,on the front of my car, which were dreadful in the wet,& potentially unsafe when pushed to the limit when cornering,i chose the Barum's after much research,the main criteria being wet grip,& cost, i am well impressed with the Barum's, & has restored my confidence of being able to go round a corner.absolutely top marks to Barum
