Barum Bravuris 3HM. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Longer lasting tread life; Enhanced controllability; Shorter braking distance; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Barum Bravuris 3HM is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger and sport utility vehicles.The tire offers great summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the innovative tire compound work together to increase the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The model also resists hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the footprint with the wide circumferential grooves. They ensure a safer summer weather driving experience. This model is not recommended for use in winter conditions as the tire compound does not maintain its traction in colder temperatures.The tire promotes a longer lasting tread life. The special tire compound slows down the tread wear rate significantly as it is wear resistant. The flat tire footprint prevents rubber abrasion and evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area. The equal distribution of the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. This significantly extends the tire's usability and its tread life.The maintained road contact improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tread design offers a firm road grip in all summer weather. The steering responsiveness becomes quick and precise while the tire is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The model also offers a shorter braking distance. The special tread block edges increase the friction created when braking, which manages to enhance the braking distance. The result is a shortened braking distance that guarantees a safer driving experience.The Bravuris 3HM has remarkable high speed performance. The first-rate traction of the advanced tire compound boosts the tire's performing capability as it firmly grips the road surface at all times. Furthermore, the tire does not lose its excellent performance with the tread wear, as the model is capable of such performance even with less tread life remaining on it. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
