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%.

Can't tell about the wear yet, bur the grip is awesome. Both dry and wet.
I've had 140€ Bridgestone Potenza before, but this tire only cost me 80€ and are as good as the Bridgestone.
Unless they wear badly, i'd buy it again.

Researching the Barum Bravuris 3HM? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Mkvi golf gti golf 200bhp front wheel drive. These tires grip better than most brand name tires. I usually only buy conti. I would rate these in dry and wet
Just got these fitted today and very wet, Bought them after researching. Hate to pay for branded names but don't want to but cheap rubbish. Can't comment on dry but wet going aound a roundabout done well and take off fine with foot down. Will come back with another review after done some miles but so far very good even though tread not 'roughed' up to maximise grip.
For years iv been using Barum Bravuris tires and have found them to bee a great tire with low road noise which for me is paramount. But iv recently put on the new Barum Bravuris 3XL and they are the noisiest tire iv ever heard, even the tire fitter at National Warrington said they there the noisiest he's ever heard. Wont be buying them again. I was informed the Bravuris 2 is no longer available.
Just bought a pair of these for the front of my 2002 Laguna ll 3L v6 after comparing prices and looking at many other peoples opinions,I was a little bit schepticle.I've put tires on my cars before priced well in excess of £100 and have been dissapointed,these cost me £63 each.Don't be a brand snob,Barum have been manufacturing car tires for a very long time,including those for motorcycles and even tractors,and even though many are made in what we used to call the eastern block these people are no mugs,have a little faith with a cheaper alternative,TRUST ME THESE STICK
Excellent tires for the price paid. Swapped these for the Bridgestone B250 that were fitted as standard by manufacturer. Initial feeling is that they are very comfortable and quiet, and I believe give better mpg over Bridgestones'. Haven't tried in wet yet, but should be decent. Road feedback isn't great, but that must be due to soft sidewalls that give comfortable ride. Can't tell anything about wear yet, but marketing material said that these are high mileage tires, but that depends greatly on driving manner. As these tires fit in budget range I would definitely recommend them over any Chinese brands, as Barum is in Continental group and should be backed up by some decent R&D.
I used Bravuris 2 before this tire in my VW Polo. It was really quiet and durable.
I replaced it with Bravuris 3HM and for the first 3000 miles these were great in the dry and not so bad in wet. It is also very quiet and comfortable under my 950kg car with just a bit stiff suspension.
To sum up, fine for the price and I will definitely buy again.
