I live in Egypt and the roads honestly are worse than you can imagine. I had the tire for 8 years and by God's will, I have never faced a serious accident. I recommend these tires if you are on a budget and want value for a good price. The tires are a bit noisy especially their last couple of years.
Everything else is average.

These were on my oldtimer when I bought it. Very poor handling, noisy tires. The grip on dry road is below average, on wet road the grip is horrible. They seem to be made out of some bad kind of rubber. I strongly recommend not buying these!

Average grip, wear and noise. Less grip then Avon ZT5 but less noisy too. Good cheap tyre.

On dry tarmac it is average tyre but badly loosing grip on wet surface. It is activating abs on some normal driving situations and it was driving me crazy. Looks like this tyre have to much plastic instead of rubber in it. Will never buy it again.

I drive cars for about 10 years, and honestly these tyres are the worst I've ever come across.
Imagine a tyre that loses grip and drifts away when braking (slightly hard braking) at speeds ranging from 80 mph to 10 mph at any surface. The tyres really are uncomfortable to a level that I feel every detail on the road. Yes I don't have ABS, but I've experienced far more better tyres also without having ABS.
One one good thing due to it's level of discomfort, is that it hardly wears.

These Barum Brillantis tyres were fitted to my wife's Fiat Panda when the original Continentals wore out.
I found the dry and wet handling to be satisfactory but when the car was driven hard the sidewalls didn't seem to give the support that was required - perhaps this was down to the tyre having a high (80%) profile. Greater levels of understeer were experienced than compared to the Continentals - perhaps lower profile versions of this tyre perform better!
This particular Brillantis tyre has since been superseded by the “Barum Brillantis 2†which I imagine performs better.

Had these put on to my sisters Peugeot and straight away they felt quite good and gripped well. They are a radial tyre and are much better then the previous unheard of budget tyres which only lasted 10K. So far so good.
