Tires GT Radial or Barum

GT Radial Tires

Currently running GTRadial Chamiro UHP1 tires and am about to install my 2nd set. They are CHEAP and almost as good at the Direzza Star Specs on my Porsche. I was shocked I got 20k miles out of them, they grip really well and don't get greasy easily at the track.

Pros: good grip, cheap
Mileage: 20000 km

I have heard good things about GT Radials... I use "Road Hugger GT Eco" (aka Kumho something or other) and they have been great. Low noise, (relatively) good grip for being low rolling resistance.

Pros: low noise, good grip

I bought a set of GT radial Champiro with the expectation that it will be just a crap daily driver set. They actually have really good grip for non race tires. Seriously, so much so that when I put the front set on and went to autocross, it caused my car to spin out because the front had more grip than the rear.

Pros: good grip, cheap price
Cons: wont last long

Tires are 235 40 18 GT Radial Champiro UHP1 Ultra-high performance summer tire ^ VERY sticky tire w/stiff side wall (nice handling and picks up lots of little pebbles - but I would not trust this tire below 40 degrees)

Pros: VERY sticky tire, nice handling
Cons: not for cold weather

I run a set of GT Radial WinterPro HP. 245/45/17 all around. Very cost friendly set of tires @ <$100/ea.

I had a great winter season last year, even in the midst of our huge snowstorms and freezing weather.

Pros: cost friendly, great performance
Vehicle: Audi S4

I just bought a used VW and i had to put new tires on it already, someone at a dealer told me to go with the BARIUM Bravuris 2 (All Season tire) on mine 215/40/17" and with 10k+miles so far so good, very quiet, they seem to work better then most brands i know.

Pros: very quiet, good handling
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km

Had them in 245/45r18. Really comfortable, fuel efficient, good grip but average feedback. I was really happy with them until i had to do an emergency brake and the car just kept going. Afterwards I went and read tyre tests and all tests confirmed that their braking is horrible both in dry and wet.

They are dangerous in emergency situations

Pros: comfortable, fuel efficient, good grip
Cons: horrible braking, dangerous
