Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Barum Bravuris 5 HM vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Michelin Primacy 5 vs. Falken e.Ziex

Today, we are comparing two summer tyres, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Barum Bravuris 5 HM. These come from leading manufacturers Goodyear and Barum respectively.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, successor to the 'Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance', boasts an impressive 81% rating from our tests. Its key strengths include comfort, value for money, and mileage. This tyre outperformed in notable tests like 'ADAC' and 'Autobild' securing top and 13th positions among 50 and 53 tyres respectively. This tyre's strengths lie in its premium profile with convincing handling properties, short braking distances, top marks in the cost chapter, high mileage, and low rolling resistance. However, its high price level can be a potential drawback.


On the other hand, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM, trailed behind with a rating of just 29%. This tyre has been replaced by the Barum Bravuris 6. In the same 'ADAC' and 'Autobild' tests, Barum positioned 24th and 29th among 50 and 53 tyres respectively, lagging behind its Goodyear counterpart.


Despite the lower rating and test positions, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM could still serve as an affordable alternative for drivers with its own unique features. However, consideration should also be given to its successor, the Barum Bravuris 6, which might offer improvements.


Verdict: The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 is a clear winner here due to its superior rating and excellent performance in tests compared to the Barum Bravuris 5 HM. Although the price might be on the steeper side, the performance and features of the Goodyear tyre demonstrate good value for money. However, those on a budget might still consider the Barum as an economical alternative.
