Barum Vanis 3

Barum Vanis 3 is the budget option from the Continental group and behaves accordingly. Subjective handling on dry roads was praised as forgiving and easy to read, with decent cornering reserves and good ride comfort - the best-rated in the group for cabin refinement. The problems appear on wet roads: braking distances are among the longest, and aquaplaning protection is weak in both directions. Dry braking is also the worst in the test. At 155 Euro it is the second-cheapest tire here, but the safety shortcomings on wet surfaces led to a points deduction in the overall rating.
