First of all, you're not going to get top-whack quality on a tire of this price, but these aren't far short.
Fitted these to the two front wheels in replacement for the stock 'michelin Energy's'... I, like other people, wasnt willing to pay £300 for something that COULD cost me £130 if I was to be a little less picky. I opted for the Bravuris on recommendation from a friend who works at a tire garage, and I'm glad I listened! The Barums are really responsive. They take a little longer than the Michelins to warm up, but once they're at a good temperature, the grip is great, whether its dry or wet. I've covered a little over 9000 miles on these now, and I still have around 6mm of tread left. Admittedly, a lot of my driving is motorway, but a do my fair share of A & B road driving, and often suffer from a 'lead foot'.
I had these tires on through the snow too (I know they're a Summer tire) and they performed flawlessly, especially for a tire which is not for this purpose. I really would recommend these to anyone looking for a good compromise to the top-range tires, without forking out silly money! Hope you find this review useful.
