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, literally the same feel as Michelin PS3, comfortable and great grip. Haven't tried in wet yet so need to try and il update the review. They are a tad noisier than the michelins but for the price difference it's well worth it! 70£ barums vs 130£ Michelins. Honestly do yourself a favor and buy these you won't be dissapointed if you want a good daily driving touring tire. Just make sure whoever fits them knows what they are doing as my garage didn't.

These tires are comfortable and quiet. Before them, I had Continental ContiPremium Contact 5 and I can tell you, Barum Bravuris is also an excellent tire. I would recommend them.

What most people don't realise is that Barum are the same tire as Conti
Uniroyal , Semperit and General. The only difference is the tread pattern.
It is marketed as a budget tire, but that's only a positioning strategy.
If you're not bothered about brand image then you're effectively driving
On top quality rubber. I recently did a 750mile drive on mine and have
No complaints. Think I paid £75 each.

I am using since 20.000km this tires.Its really soft and comfortable but ı cant say not much more noisy.Road feedback and grip better than old tire (pirelli p7).
I cant drive most cold wheathers, ı hope ıt will not lose soft character and grip.
Theses are a very good tire for the price and have been the best tires I have had fitted to the rear wheels of this car for low wear rate regardless of price.
A good solid tire with an exceptionally low wear rate
Usually I don't like Barum tires for summer season but reviews are right. This tire is silent, comfortable, grippy (considering for road tire) and doesn't squeek even during spirited driving.. Man can trust them. Some tires are like driving on jelly fish but this isn't. Considering price, it is great deal.
This tire is perfect on wet and dry grip and other characteristics. Road feedback,comfort and price excellent. My first original tires were Bridgestone potenza,but Barum bravuris 3hm is
way more better than it.I am very pleased of this tire.
I have just replace a set of Conti 5's with these tires. So far i am impressed with comfort and grip. Only done 1000 miles so far will need to update to see how they wear etc. Good all round tire
I've done moderate power diesel hatchbacks for a while. I know how hard it is to find decent tire for this type of a car, not going crazy price wise.
Running those tires on Ibiza Fr TDI with upped power and torque is excellent. Light FWD car with more than 350Nm of torque and short chassis, gives a good test for any tire.
Barum 3HM give almost unchanged strong grip in wet and dry. Hard to push them past the limit and you can gradually feel it right before they go. They wear very slowly and once balanced at fitting just starting to go off, after a lot of uneven roads and pot holes. Road noise is normal, nothing special. Overall Best price-quality tire you can get in low profile 16s for less than £65/tire fitted (East Midlands area, thanks National Tires).
I have driven these tires more than 13000 km, and there's no noticeable wear marks. I think they will last at least 3 summer seasons.
Grip - even with 150hp 320Nm diesel they don't start to spin with 2nd gear on dry surface, plenty of grip on straight and corners. In wet they excellent prevent aqua gliding, but tires will spin when exiting corner on full throttle. The only thing i dont like is that tire sides are very flabby. Sport suspension and these tires will cause feeling like driving on gel, especially when avoiding pot holes.
But as its wear and grip is very good i would defiantly buy again.
