Barum - summer tyres 2026 - market overview, tests, reviews
We have carefully selected a few Barum summer tyres for review, based on the latest test results from reputable organisations such as ADAC, Autobild, GTÜ, and ACE. The tyres featured in this article have undergone multiple tests and are either new models or have consistently proven their performance.
One of the tyres we found worthy of mention is the Barum Bravuris 5 HM. It is a relatively new tyre that has already undergone several tests. In a 2023 ADAC test, it received a commendable rating for its performance in the 205/55 R16 size. Autobild's 2023 test using the 225/45 R18 size focused on the braking distance of this model with promising results. Back in 2022, it received a conditional recommendation from GTÜ for the 195/55 R16 tyre size, and ADAC graded it as satisfactory in a 215/60 R16 sized test. On the other hand, Autobild's 2022 test in the 215/55 R17 size mainly centred on braking distance.
Another notable option is the versatile Barum Bravuris 4X4, which is a multiple test-proven tyre. Its performance in the 2017 ADAC test using the size 215/65 R16 was rated as good, making it an ideal choice for SUV users looking for a reliable summer tyre.
For SUV owners, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM SUV might also be an appropriate choice. It demonstrated satisfactory results in Autobild's 2020 test using the 255/55 R18 tyre size.
Lastly, the Barum Brillantis 2 is another option worth considering. In the 2018 Autobild test using 195/65 R15 tyres, the focus was on braking distance, whereas the 2016 ADAC test using 185/65 R15 tyres rated it satisfactory. Furthermore, the ACE's 2016 test in the 195/65 R15 size also offered valuable insights into the tyre's performance.
In conclusion, Barum offers a variety of summer tyres with various test results to suit different driver needs. It's essential to consider factors such as tyre size, usage, and test rankings to make an informed decision on which Barum summer tyre is the right fit for your vehicle.
