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.

excellent tire, great price and well suited to my car. A good touring tire but can handle a bit of abuse when needed and do a good job of keeping the 210 ponys in check!

Terribly noisy. This is my second summer with these tire. They were good at the begining. Now the tire noise is unbearable. We can hardly have a conversation in the car at highway speed because of the tire noise. I drove 8 hours today on the highway and my patience is over. I will get another brand this week.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
Very impressed for what is supposedly a "budget" branded tire. I am a service advisor for a resputable main brand dealer. I was horrified to find how expensive the branded tires were in this size.
In a semi-professional opinion, these tires smashed my expectations of the barum brand (made by continental).
The feedback is excellent and the turn in response is good. Seem to ride quietly and the wear doesnt seem to be that bad. Bearing in mind i have replaced all 4 tires (did have dunlop sp01 sport) i would say they are of comparable performance, if not better. Wet grip is surprisingly good too.
So, for something that costs under half price of the branded ones, these represent epic value for money and i am happy to recommend these tires to anyone with the same picky criteria as me.
Have covered over 5,000 miles so far and there is no noticable difference in the tread depth.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Barum Bravuris 2? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
My Volvo is a big heavy FWD car that puts a lot of pressure on the front tires. These tires replaced a set of Continentals and its really hard to judge replacing worn tires with new, but I can safely say that these tires are among the best I have ever fitted to my trusty old steed. Fully laden on fast wet bends and roudabouts they give me nothing but great grip and confidence. I cannot comment on wear as they have only done 3k. They must be one of the best value tires on the market.
bought second pair for front as rears still had plenty of tread left but after just 9000 miles they are down to the wear indicators with the rears as well, Also terribly noisy. Now replaced all round with Kumho KU31's as they were a good price and seem to get a better review.Will update after the next few thousand miles.
For a mid range tire, and comparing the price to the alternative premium brands, these are fantastic tires. Really the only down side is a little more road noise than I'd like. Both dry and wet grip is comparable to premium tires. I'd buy again.
I like to drive using tires to their full abilities. I got 15000 miles out of them taking them down to 2mm despite pushing the tires on a daily basis.... which was really good for the price.... If I drove using a normal driving style I would probably have got 20-25k out of them. You can pick them up online for between £75-£95 per tire in my size which is excellent considering the quality you get plus the fact they are a budget continental tire. I would definitely recommend them for mid range cars such as mine. Maybe if you have a performance car with sensitive geometry etc then they would be good as a budget option but they are not quite as sharp and responsive as the top range max performance but don't let this put you off as they are great value for money and very comfortable tires. they have also worn evenly and grip is only now starting to give very slightly in the wet when they hit 2mm which is brilliant considering I have had brand new budget tires previously sliding all over from new. Great tire for the price...go buy them
First of all, you're not going to get top-whack quality on a tire of this price, but these aren't far short.
Fitted these to the two front wheels in replacement for the stock 'michelin Energy's'... I, like other people, wasnt willing to pay £300 for something that COULD cost me £130 if I was to be a little less picky. I opted for the Bravuris on recommendation from a friend who works at a tire garage, and I'm glad I listened! The Barums are really responsive. They take a little longer than the Michelins to warm up, but once they're at a good temperature, the grip is great, whether its dry or wet. I've covered a little over 9000 miles on these now, and I still have around 6mm of tread left. Admittedly, a lot of my driving is motorway, but a do my fair share of A & B road driving, and often suffer from a 'lead foot'.
I had these tires on through the snow too (I know they're a Summer tire) and they performed flawlessly, especially for a tire which is not for this purpose. I really would recommend these to anyone looking for a good compromise to the top-range tires, without forking out silly money! Hope you find this review useful.
Superb tires at a great price, one on each corner for 14000 vigorous miles in a 2.2 Astra Coupe and they are less than 30% worn, sad to let the car go as the tires are in such
good nick!
Fantastic tires for city - very quiet and soft! Roads in Bulgaria are the worst of everywhere in Europe - the raods are drivable, they arent great but they're there ...
I have have done 15000 miles on these tires. They still have a lot of tread left on them. There is very little road noise, the grip is good and they cost me £70 a piece which was a very good price. I would buy these again.
