These Conti's are an excellent tyre and grip very well in the wet and dry, however they did not last that long 15K in one year. Ok the saab is a heavy front end diesal and maybe with the grip levels on offer its a trade off for durability. I probably would buy these again but they are expensive. Will try the PS2 next see how long they last.

Bought two of these for my saab 93 at £108 each, replacing Goodyear Excellence on the front. Instant improvement in noise and comfort and far less tram lining. I tend to drive fairly normally, so can't comment what they are like for grip if you like to be first away from lights, but for my style of driving they seem a good match. Average mph seems to have gone up slightly by about 5mpg. Hopefully they should do more than the 18k their predecessors covered.

excellent compromise tyre- haven't used it in the summer so can't comment on wear rates. Mostly been used in temps between -5 to +8 and has proven very useful in recent bad snow and regular icy and wet roads. Do yourself a favour and buy decent winter/all season tyres and use them in the winter.

1. Grip a excellent - fitted on SAAB 9-3 150HP i have been impressed about performance. Wet grip just tested on a normal driving and need further "extended tests" but sound promising but waiting for proper rain.
2.Wear is not a point i could talk about just have them for few days.
3.Comfort - excellent ! There is no noise , at least not so big to be noticed. The car is running way more softer , probably this is most impressive for me at this time as well as road feedback. I strongly believe that BARUM is not economy class tire and should be on the bottom of the premium class at at least on a mid level class.
Long story short price / quality good business with BRAVURIS 2, for sure i will consider the brand again.
