In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (Starfire) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Czech Republic (Barum). Barum is a brand that belongs to the Continental group. Generally, Barum winter tyres are slightly better rated (61%) than Starfire (1%). But when it comes to comparing Starfire W200 and Barum Polaris 3, the rating is the same - 0%. The first tyre test of Starfire W200 was done in 2016, compared to 2015 when was the Barum Polaris 3 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2016 205/55 R16 test, where both the W200 and the Polaris 3 were tested.
