Tyre reviews Barum Bravuris 438
- Rate
I have used these tires, size 215/55 R16, on my Mazda 3 and Mazda 6. The driving style is mixed. I must say these tires are terrible. They are extremely noisy and uncomfortable, transmitting even the slightest road irregularities to the vehicle's body. When driving in a rut, the vehicle deviates significantly from the trajectory. When driving in a light drizzle at speeds above 90 km/h on asphalt, the ESP warning indicator flashes almost constantly, indicating that

On a Lada I used this tire for a long time during the summer at a size of 185/60/14. The wheels are good, but not a single wheel from the two sets survived until the tread depth was halved. Upon hitting a normal pothole at a speed of over 40 km/h, the side bulge would immediately go flat, which is almost impossible to repair (i.e., the tire is blown out) - the rubber and especially the side wall are

Good tires for their money, I used to drive on Nokian, didn't feel much of a difference, how I used to drive into a ring at 90, I still do, how the car used to brake, it still does. It drives wonderfully on dirt. It's on my VAZ 011. In principle, for its price, it's excellent tires, I didn't regret buying them

Good traction, especially in winter conditions (snow + ice). OK when braking, not too prone to serious aquaplaning. The tread pattern usually disperses puddles, but traction can break away suddenly if you load them up too much on a wet road. I've experienced Heav

I am absolutely amazed by these tires. The car doesn't have a lot of power, but even then, the tires just grip and grip the road, it takes a lot to let them go in dry and in wet they are excellent. I replaced them with the same tires again, won't be buying any other tire for this car anyway. But don't think they would be good enough for a powerful car.

Poor on wet pavement lets these tires down and braking on wet road is just as bad, also there is some dry grip, but if it gets very warm it fades away quickly, on the route they are quite noisy, as well, and they seem to wear out too fast, better tires could be had for the roads for far less money!!

I wasn't very impressed with these tires. They seem fine at first, but they let go suddenly at the limit and don't inspire confidence in corners. On wet pavement they are very poor and they are noisy. They wear out quickly, which is a good thing, as I was glad to replace them with something much better sooner. No match for Toyo Proxes, nor Falken FK-452 or Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3, all of which are similarly priced.

Previously I had Michelin Pilot Sport on the rear axle of my car. It was changed to Bravuris last summer. The noise level is significantly lower than the PS, also Bravuris is more comfortable and doesn't mind road ruts, which is a lot. Dry grip, as expected, is not as good as the PS, but their grip on wet surfaces is better. Wear doesn't seem to be as fast as on Michelins. So overall I'm very happy with

For those who don't have a lot of money but want an imported product!
I put them on my Civic '98, 1.4 - I just really liked the tread pattern, well, I thought, for summer, for water, that's what you need! BUT ALL THE CHARM OF THE TIRES ENDS THERE!!!! Indeed, it handles the road perfectly in the rain, not bad when entering a turn on a wet road, but it's noisy - awful!!!!,
This is not rubber
Gy.... apparently whoever praises Barum has previously driven Russian cars and Taganrog-Pagani. In short, the rubber is terrible in all parameters.
Pros: Price for low profile
Cons: rubber composition, aquaplaning, skids sideways in turns, rubber for moving from point A to B, but not for driving.
