ordered new tires - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

i've never tried these before, i got them for a decent price

Barum Bravuris tires, anyone had previous experience with them before?

Don't know anything about them. Discount Tire carries them here. I tried to research the company but all I could find was their practically useless German website.

for 205-55-16 they have them for 76 each @ Discount.

I think its cool that you choose to waste...er, I mean spend money on a no name untested tire when you could have gotten these (205/55/16) for $73 each:

i talked them down to 60 a piece

lol even better

yeah i thought it was pretty good

Sorry, have to say it.....two things you never want to go cheap on. Number one is tires, second is lighting. Never get a 'no name brand' tire. Never.

On second thought, if I was selling a car to someone I hated and it needed tires, then......

BTW, ask 'can't_drive_55' (PM him or something) what he thinks of those tires. He's been at Discount 6 (or is it 8) years, he'll level with you if they're junk or not.

When I speak about tires, it's only Pirelli........Nero's for daily driving and these for the serious stuff:

Where?

i got about 3 different reviews from the workers there telling me that they we're excellent, one guy took me in the back to his 91 Camaro that had them on and showed me the treadpattern and stiff sidewalls, they looked great! He told me the handling was excellent. He said they we're imported from Europe, so i figures for the price i might as well try them out, I talked them down easily because I have a friend working there.:D So i'll just find out for myself on Thursday.

That's why I never saw them there. I only stick with all seasons. I'll be buying the Kuhmo ASX for my next pair.

Hey, those are my stock road tires.

wow, the tread pattern is awesome! lol

I thought that tread pattern looked familiar. I have these on my Volvo. The company was bought out by Continental a few years ago so I feel fairly confident about what I have. Plus, when you can get four for $218 mounted and balanced there isnt any room for complaints.

I have yet to throw them around in the twisties but I am not expecting much. Im not blaming the tires, Im aiming more towards weak swaybars and soft springs under an almost two ton car.

Have you noticed the URL on the sidewall yet?
