Tires Barum or Shinko
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
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
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Sad sam stavio sve 4 nove Barumke, i prijatno sam se iznenadio kako su mek\u0161e i to\u0161e od Klebera.
Pros: mek\u0161e i to\u0161e
Ich kann Barum empfehlen, das ist eine Mittelklasse Tochterfirma von Continental
Pros: empfehlenswert

Am Barum Polaris 5 si mi-au placut, erau ieftine, acu 3 ani le-am luat cu 1000 toate 4 205/55/R16. Sunt moi, au sant pentru aderenta pe ploaie, dar dupa teste nu par ca exceleaza acolo, eu nu am simtit, iar pe zapada sunt excelente. Barum este sub-brand Continental si au fost facute in UE. Probabil sunt prea moi, si se consuma mai rapid, dar nu ma deranjat, oricum ma lovesc mai intai de vechime decat de cat de consumate sunt, si au tinut 3 sezoane sigur merg si al patrulea. Deasemenea se umplu de pietricele prin gauri. Not top performance, dar ok,
Pros: ieftine, excelente pe zăpadă, durabile
Cons: moi, se umplu de pietricele, performanță medie pe ploaie
eu am mers pe Barum. Nu sunt premium, dar nici chinezarii, chiar fabricate in Cehia. Intru in a 3-a iarna cu ele si pana acum si-au facut treaba fara probleme.
Pros: fabricate în Cehia, fără probleme
Cons: nu sunt premium
Barum Brilantis 5 - schopná (2.auto)
Pros: schopná
Fanno cagare a spruzzo. Avute delle estive di quella marca e w gesu sul bagnato sembrava di guidare sul ghiaccio.
Cons: sul bagnato sembrava ghiaccio
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
