Barum? lol never heard of them.
They came fitted to my Vectra 1.9 CDTi Estate and I have to admit they're a damn site better than the Pirelli P7 I had.
I do 800 miles a week, mostly motorways, and they just don't rub out, very, very hard wearing.
Very good dry grip, I take some of these motorway slip bends at silly speeds (sorry) and they've never even hinted that they want to skip.
Wet grip seems very good too, though I don't push it too hard in the wet.
Useless in the snow, as you would expect from a summer tyre.
Compared to the P7, they're very quiet.

VERY POOR QUALITY PRODUCT
Fitted tyres in early October 2011 and have had to replace two at the beginning of March despite only travelling less than 7000 km

Just fitted four of these on my BMW e46. Previously I had some old and bad Continental's at the back and Firestone's on the front. The car tram-lined like crazy. After fitting the Bravuris 2, tram-lining has completely disappeared! The ride is a lot smoother and comfortable now! The tyres are also very quiet! Can't say anything about wear since I just bought them.
First impressions are great, but will wait to see how the tyres do after a year or two until I recommend them or decide to buy again...

I replaced run-flats on my MINI with four of these. Needed to replace all 4 tyres and was not willing to pay almost £700. I found these Barums on Tyreshopper and got all 4 fitted for just over £300. Only had them on for two weeks but feel compelled to share my views. These tyres are incredible value. They have completely transformed the ride in my car! They are easily the equal of my previous Dunlops in relation to road-holding and grip. However, in the quietness and comfort stakes, they are leagues ahead!! I would urge everyone to look closely at buying these tyres.....they are truly amazing!

I have had these tires twice now. Each time they last only 15000 miles under normal highway and city driving conditions. My rear wheel drive car has wear on the rear tires down to the metal at this point. I am very disappointed.

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!
