Barum is launching its first tyre with an asymmetrical tread pattern -- the Bravuris 2. This means the brand now has a high-tech product in its range that is capable of speeds up to 300 km/h (187 mph). This tyre also offers enhanced lateral guidance, short braking distances and a longer service life, making it a worthy successor to the previous model. The new Bravuris 2 will initially be available in 16 different sizes suitable for 16" to 20" rims.</p>

<p><strong>Mileage</strong><br />
- Minimum deformation under load -- optimized ground pressure distribution due to the new, optimized tyre contor<br />
- Tyres with the hightest speed ratings (W/Y) are possible due to the super-flat belt design<br />
- New, modern silica tread compound</p>

<p><strong>Performance</strong><br />
- Open tread pattern structure for faster water dispersion due to the numerous blocks and sipes<br />
- Good grip on wet roads due to the new, modernsilica tread compound free of high aromatic oils<br />
- Quick and efficient water dispersion away from the contact patch due to the addtional shoulder grooves and steep grooves in the tread centre</p>

<p><strong>Handling</strong><br />
- Stiff, interlinked shoulder blocks<br />
- Optimal stability nd precise steering due to the circumferential ribs<br />
- Handling stability and safe braking on dry roads due to the large tread lugs on the tyre outer side<br />
- Maximal traction and outstanding braking power thourgh sturdy lugs</p>

<p><strong>Braking</strong><br />
- Solid tread blocks and ribs<br />
- Evenly-distributed ground pressure due to the stiff design<br />
- Optimized transmission of traction and braking forces<br />
- Reduced risk of aquaplaning and safety during braking in the wet due to the large numbers of lugs on the tyre inner side</p>

<p><strong>Highlights: the Bravuris 2 offers</strong><br />
<strong>- balanced handling and fun at the wheel on wet and dry roads</strong>... due to the asymmetrical tread pattern.<br />
<strong>- greater aquaplaning reserves, better driving characteristics in the wet</strong>... due to the larger number of tread blocks on the tyre inner side.<br />
<strong>- shorter braking distances, better road holding</strong>... due to the optimised tread blocks and tread pattern structure.<br />
<strong>- higher mileage</strong>... due to the new tyre contour and tread compound
