Brillantis 2 belongs without any doubts on the summer tyres range with the best quality-price ratio. On one hand, you can purchase it from mytyres.co.uk at an incredibly great price, and on the other hand it already convinced at many serious tests made by specialist magazines and car clubs. It was developed for compact class cars and can be bought in sizes from 13 to 15 inches. You can choose speed indexes between T (up to 190 km/h) and H (up to 210 km/h).
What makes Barum Brillantis 2 a good summer tyre? It comes from the previous model Barum Brillantis and has, in contrast to its predecessor, an asymmetric profile. At the shoulders, the profile is designed to have sufficient stability on curves and when changing lanes. Besides this, the manufacturer wanted the tyre to offer sufficient safety when braking on wet roads. This way, the braking distance will be shorter than the one of the older model and in the same time ensures a higher rolling performance.
Brillantis 2 has a humidity indicator on its profile. It is about 3 mm height ridges between the profile grooves. If these will get flat and will no longer be distinguished from the rest of the profile, then it is time to change it with a new tyre. The ADAC club names it a “very balanced tyre” and also has given good ratings at all categories in the summer tyres testing from 2012. Especially, in aquaplaning, fuel consumption and handling on dry road, Barum Brillantis 2 is very effective.
