Barum Bravuris 6
The Barum Bravuris 6 is a touring summer tyre with low rolling resistance and good ride comfort in testing. Braking is less competitive, with handling and aquaplaning resistance also below average in its fuller test.
The Barum Bravuris 6 is a touring summer tyre with efficiency and comfort as its clearer test strengths. In the 2026 Autozurnal comparison, low rolling resistance and energy consumption put it close to premium tyres for economy, while ride comfort was also near the front. Those qualities helped it finish sixth of ten and stand out among the budget options in that particular test.
Braking is the more consistent limitation across its two independent assessments. Both wet and dry stops were below average in the 2026 test, and the larger 2025 Auto Bild braking shootout also placed it well down the field. Handling and aquaplaning resistance were in the lower half of the fuller test, so good consumption did not come with equally strong grip results. The efficiency and comfort findings may appeal to drivers who prioritise those qualities, but the longer stopping distances remain a substantial compromise. There is no owner-review summary here to establish long-term wear or how these qualities develop in use.

2026 autozurnal Eco Summer Tyre Test P6 of 10
Barum Bravuris 6 emerged as the best budget tyre in the test with a sixth-place overall finish. This Czech-origin brand is the second lightest tyre (9.52 kg) and features a deep 7.4 mm tread. While its wet and dry safety ratings placed it lower in the pack (seventh place in both), it truly shined in economy and comfort, tying with premium tyres for the top ranks in rolling resistance and real-world EV efficiency.

When buying new tires, I hesitated between Sava Intensa UHP2 and Barum Bravuris 6, but since I was already using Sava tires, I wanted to try something new. I have to admit that I had mixed feelings at the beginning, I was disappointed by how unpredictable the tires were at higher speeds on the highway (130-150 km/h), as if I had the feeling that I was driving on ice in gusts, a very unpleasant feeling of insecurity, but that's why the comfort was at at the highest level and if my previous tire dimensions were higher (235/40r18), the comfort was incomparably better even with the NEXEN N FERA tires (225/40r18) that I had before SAVA.Driving in the wet is satisfying from the start.For reasons that I will now state, I did not want to post a comment immediately after the first impressions. I have currently driven about 2000 km with the mentioned tires and the feeling is completely different and enthusiastic. In the meantime, the feeling of insecurity at higher speeds and the car is much more stable in curves, especially when the car is heavier and I think that the tire is good for heavier vehicles over 1500 kg. The feeling of comfort remained the same and for that reason I would take it again. The tire is definitely good for the money, but you need to be patient and wait for it to wear out a bit so that the performance will be much better. My recommendation for heavier vehicles and for cars that use low-profile tires because the comfort is at a high level compared to NEXEN and Sava tires, which to my taste were too hard.

I have been used Barum Bravuris 5HM which was pretty solid tyre for my needs and now theres new model 6HM. Im very dissapointed with tyre performance especially when cornering. Tyre loose grip very easy. I have never driven tyre with this poor handling before. I guess its something about EV ready tyre, evey ECO tyre is bad for handling.
