The Barum Bravuris 4x4 is a summer tire for SUVs and crossovers. In terms of Russian weather conditions, this tire, unlike its use in Western countries with a much milder climate, can only be used in winter - except perhaps in the southern regions of the country. This model is equally suitable for both city driving and off-road driving. It fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models such as the Hyundai Tucson, Mercedes M-Class, and Porsche Cayenne.
One of the main features and, at the same time, advantages of this tire over others of the same class is the extended service life. This became possible due to the uniform distribution of pressure over the entire contact area with the road surface.
The tread pattern design consists of three central ribs, which provide a clear response of the vehicle to steering and excellent maneuverability.
The Barum Bravuris 4x4 is also characterized by excellent traction on wet roads and high resistance to aquaplaning. The latter is contributed by four annular longitudinal grooves, which first collect moisture and then drain it through grooves on the open shoulder. According to the developers, this achieves an unprecedented level of safety on wet roads - both when driving straight and when cornering.
Another direction of work for the engineers developing this tire was to reduce noise generation while driving. This became possible due to the unique tread pattern design, which combines a different number of blocks in the central and shoulder zones. Additionally, this is also facilitated by additional grooves. The optimized lamella arrangement allows the tire to absorb vibrations and impacts while driving.
Another feature of this tire is the rigid nature of the shoulder zone blocks, which allows minimizing the braking distance.
An important innovation for most Barum tires of this class is the presence of a tire wear indicator TWI, which shows how worn out the tire is. The developers recommend changing the tire as soon as the tread depth reaches three millimeters, since at this indicator, the tire's braking distance increases significantly, and the risk of aquaplaning arises.
In conclusion, it should be noted that this model will be an excellent choice for all-wheel drive and high-speed vehicles, as it combines excellent driving qualities on dry and wet roads, as well as on light off-road.
