Comparison: Barum Bravuris 5 HM vs. Cooper Zeon CS8 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2

Today, we compare two summer tyres; the Barum Bravuris 5 HM and the Cooper Zeon CS8. We take into account both customer reviews and test results from trusted sources like ADAC and Autobild.


The Barum Bravuris 5 HM has not been replaced by a newer model yet. In the ADAC test, this tyre ranked 24th out of 50 tyres tested - an average performance. The story was similar in the Autobild test, where it ranked 29th out of 53 tyres, hinting at the tyre's inconsistency over different driving conditions as it underperforms in some areas.


Its competitor, the Cooper Zeon CS8, manufactured in GB by Cooper, also hasn't been replaced by a newer model yet. In the ADAC test, it ranked 33rd out of 50, which is below average. Interestingly, it ranked 26th out of 53 tyres in the Autobild test, slightly outperforming Barum's Bravuris 5HM.


Autobild's 2021 review highlights the Cooper Zeon CS8's strengths on wet roads but criticises it for its weaknesses on dry roads. High wear, poor efficiency, and sustainability were also noted as its drawbacks, impacting its overall score negatively.


Summing up, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. The Barum Bravuris 5 HM is suitable for drivers looking for a balanced performance on different road conditions. On the other hand, the Cooper Zeon CS8 satisfies drivers who value better performance on wet roads but might be willing to compromise on dry road performance and environmental efficiency.


In terms of the ratings, Cooper Zeon CS8 (42%) outperforms Barum Bravuris 5 HM (39%). However, considering the mutual test positions in Autobild and ADAC, deciding which tyre is better would ultimately depend on the driver's specific requirements.
