Tires PHANTOM or Barum

Barum Tires

Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.

Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.

Pros: Mi sono trovato bene
Cons: Poi ho grippato
Vehicle: Fiat Punto
Mileage: 75000 km

Barum Tires

Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.

In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.

Pros: si sono comportate bene
Vehicle: Citroen C3

Barum Tires

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.

Pros: perfectly stable, do well

PHANTOM Tires

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.

Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap

Pros: sorta work
Cons: less traction, less lifetime

Der einzige Reifen der mir mal bei 240kmh auf der Autobahn geplatzt ist war einer von Barum (wohl eine Tochtermarke von Continental) hatte damals der Vorbesitzer des Fahrzeuges gekauft und montiert

Cons: Reifen geplatzt bei 240kmh
