In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Czech Republic (Barum) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (Starfire). Barum is a brand that belongs to the Continental group. Generally, Barum winter tyres are slightly better rated (63%) than Starfire (0%). But when it comes to comparing Barum Polaris 3 and Starfire W200, the rating is the same - 0%. The first tyre test of Barum Polaris 3 was done in 2015, compared to 2016 when was the Starfire W200 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2016 205/55 R16 test, where both the Polaris 3 and the W200 were tested.
