Barum Bravuris 2 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 116 reviews

The Barum Bravuris 2 is widely liked for value, dry and wet grip, quiet running and ride comfort, with 89 of 116 reviews positive overall. Grip and refinement attract substantially more praise than criticism, while steering feedback is evenly divided. Tread-life opinions are less settled, with favorable comments outnumbering complaints but around one in six reviews raising wear concerns. Almost all accounts lack a stage of use, with only one mid-life review and none at end-of-life, so a dependable lifespan or grip-retention pattern is not established. Repeat owners give differing accounts rather than a common ageing trend.

Bought these to replace the scary Hankooks in the wet!! The Barum's were recommended by a guy in a garage - I was sceptical at first but read a few reviews and went for it. I was not disappointed! Perhaps not as good as the Hankooks in the dry - not as much feedback or as good rolling resistance - but this is more than outweighed by the great wet weather confidence they give. Worn pretty well and performed admirably the last few weeks in the snow and ice. Definitely be buying them again!!

Nice tire, priced right, quality is very good! America's Discount Tires recommended, and I agree.

More noisy than the previous Michelin tires they replaced. Occasional have an odd imprecise feel in a gentle curve which can be off putting.

Only had them fitted as a "equivalent" when they were supplied through National.

225/45ZR17s : The BMW dealer fitted these before I bought the car second-hand. Tires were ok for around town and straight line driving, but side walls too soft for cornering. Noise level was very good.
I replaced these after 3000 miles with Goodyear Eagle F1s and the transformation in handling was like night versus day. The Barum is not a high performance handling tire.

Just got these tires and they are looking very good. They are a lot quiter than the Kuhmo 31 i had on before. Good turn in and makes driving easy.Dry and wet handling are very good. Good tire for the price.

I have just bought a full set of these continental/barum tires and i have to admit that at first i was uncomfortable as i had not heard of barum before but the garage where i used to work highly reccomended them. I previously had a set of toyo t1r's on and they were great, and these . . . even better!

Reasonable tire, fairly progressive grip on the limits, however seem to offer quite a high rolling resistance - fuel consumption is less favorable than previous.
Will be replacing with KU31 very shortly, far better tire for the price.
