These Barum Brillantis tyres were fitted to my wife's Fiat Panda when the original Continentals wore out.
I found the dry and wet handling to be satisfactory but when the car was driven hard the sidewalls didn't seem to give the support that was required - perhaps this was down to the tyre having a high (80%) profile. Greater levels of understeer were experienced than compared to the Continentals - perhaps lower profile versions of this tyre perform better!
This particular Brillantis tyre has since been superseded by the “Barum Brillantis 2” which I imagine performs better.

Had these put on to my sisters Peugeot and straight away they felt quite good and gripped well. They are a radial tyre and are much better then the previous unheard of budget tyres which only lasted 10K. So far so good.
