What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 127 owner reviews found online.

The Barum Bravuris 2 is widely regarded as a high-value, mid-range tire that benefits from Continental's engineering heritage. Most users praise its excellent dry and wet grip, low noise levels, and comfort, often noting that it performs comparably to more expensive premium brands. While the majority of owners are highly satisfied, some report inconsistent tread life and occasional issues with sidewall durability or noise levels as the tire ages.

Pros

  • Exceptional value for money compared to premium brands
  • Strong, reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions
  • Low road noise and high comfort levels
  • Good feedback and predictable handling for daily driving

Cons

  • Inconsistent tread life, with some users reporting rapid wear
  • Soft sidewalls can lead to a 'rolly' feel during aggressive cornering
  • Increased road noise as the tread wears down
  • Susceptibility to sidewall damage from potholes or curbs

Worth knowing

  • Users with heavier vehicles or those with high-torque RWD setups occasionally reported faster rear tire wear.
  • Drivers of performance-oriented or sporty vehicles noted that the sidewalls felt too soft for high-speed cornering compared to dedicated performance tires.
  • Owners of larger estate or executive cars frequently praised the tire's ability to reduce road noise and improve ride comfort over previous premium fitments.
