Barum Bravuris 2 are worth a look as well - I've got them on mine and have been through some pretty terrible weather in the highlands with them fitted and they handled very well.

Well reviewed too - http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Barum/Bravuris-2.htm

4 for £296 including fitting and balancing from National - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Four-4x-Barum ... 0739407771

They're good.

:D







OK, in all seriousness, I've had a lot of different tyres on my car over the years. I got put onto these by @indigolemon a while back, and at the price, and with the following they have, I figured I would take a punt and worst case scenario I would sell them on if I didn't like them and get something else. But I kept them. Got to say for £60 a corner, I really cant fault them, grip very well in the dry, the ride is good, no excess noise etc. Have driven them in the wet, but not pushed it, but no complaints so far.
Side note: When I took them to the local garage to fit, the lass there was the only one that had heard of them and prompty told the gent that they're very good! Turns out she's a pro drifter (ammo knows her/of her I believe) and they use them........ on the fronts I might add :lol:

They're made by yoko too. Which is nice.
