Dry grip, wet grip and value lead the positive feedback on the Barum Bravuris 3HM, with 29, 22 and 22 favorable mentions respectively and little criticism. Tread life also earns much more praise than complaint, supported by mid-life and end-of-life accounts rather than new-tire impressions alone. Several owners' later reviews remain positive about grip, comfort or wear as mileage rises, although one repeated post adds no new experience. Comfort is generally liked, while noise is less unanimous, with nine favorable comments against five complaints, roughly one in eleven owners reporting noise concerns. The few wet-grip complaints are exceptions to a largely favorable picture. Across 59 reviews the average is 79.7%, with 49 positive and four below 40%.

Great tires for the price. Dry grip is great and so is wet grip. Had them fitted on the front wheels for last (around) 5k miles and they are not done yet. Noise is acceptable, road feedback is also good. Can't fault those tires especially given their price. My tires were 225/55 17.
Buying them soon for my wives car too as her car came with some cheapo tires when she bought her Mazda 2 few months ago.
Excellent value for money. Performance is almost on a par with top range tires at a fraction of the cost. Worth spending the few pounds extra over a budget tire.

Best value for money ,on a wet road is amazing.I do not even think about the wear because I do not have a long time.So far I am very pleased with my choice.Much better than many branded tires with the double price I had before

I have put two brand new ones on the back of my BMW 520 rear wheel drive, these tires are really good especially for what you pay for it, Part of Continental brand too.
Dry grip is excellent , wet grip is superb, i tried going fast around the round about to see if the back end slides in heavy rain, but it doesnt, my old tires use to slide always in the rain. comfort is OK, could be better but then again these are low profile tires so theres bound to be more road noise.
A great tire with exceptional value! Have been using them on my Alfa Romeo 156 for the past month done more than 500km. The dry grip is fantastic in the Greek roads and in the wet I enjoy a hassle free ride. The steering feel is very much improved over my past Good Years. Barum truly are a fantastic alternative to the big and expensive ones. Specifically in my dimensions its a steal for 290 euros. Definitely recommend! (I'm not saying Barums are better that Pirelli Conti Michelin but the value is astonishing!)
I have just purchased a second set of these excellent value tires for the front. 20,000 miles of wear which i consider good, a mix of regular motorway and country roads on a daily commute.
These tires are predictable in the wet with reassurance when turning in. I don't drive overly fast but the car seems well planted and very comfortable. Recommend as my best value tire you can buy!
A superb premium tire at a budget price! I am now on my second set with my S80 Volvo Mark II and the car feels planted and solid. It is only a matter of time before these tires get pushed into the premium price bracket.
I am a sensible driver and do not speed or push my car hard, but I do like the reassuring grip these tires give in both wet ad dry conditions.
These were great tires when I bought them. Good all round performance wet and dry so I think my review is a little unfair. I've had them less than a year and I'm replacing them. I got the tracking done on my car and I have two about the same age Bridgestone on the back. Under steering is the problem. They have not lasted. I had two continental before these but they lasted really really well and under steering was not noticeable with them. I felt safer with them. Getting around corners is a problem over 30 mph. That's crazy with tires that age and with all the servicing I do. I bought the tires just because I felt winter was coming and maybe it might be sensible to get two new tires. I live in Ireland so our winters are mostly mild. My car handles like a boat at the moment goin around bends. I'm replacing on Saturday. If you're selling and want to have two new tires to meet regulations or whatever then they are fine otherwise do as I do and save your money and buy a set of decent tires. I'm getting two new Bridgestone next Saturday.
After much debate I purchased these tires for my C300 4 MATIC Sport. The tires recommended were Continentals which were just to costly. Only chose these because of all the good reviews they received. I might be the only one in Illinois USA who has these tires on their car.
