Barum Polaris 3

I usre the tyres on my Ford Focus estate. I have this car since September, so I have no comparison of its behaviour on other tyres. Previously I used a Partner on popular Kelly tyres. After the first snowfall I got a little scared when I had to drive out of my driveway. I had to go about 70 metres to the main road, uphill all the time. The Partner was driving without any problems, and the Focus fitted with Barum Polaris 3 had a bit of problems. I had to take the hill a few times. Apart from this situation, the tyres are worth recommending. They are much better than Kelly on the road, quieter, provide better grip on wet and on slush. For such price Barum Polaris 3 are definitely worth recommending. Read more Collapse

Ive tested the Barum Polaris 3 in heavy winter.Ive done 20,000 km of which 10,000 km in the middle of winter with snow and ice. The rubber proved to be very good and strong. Nice tread pattern. The car has always been kept up very well to the road and with the thick snow and icy roads. Never had a problem with the discharge of mud and water. When driving on dry asphalt you hear a slight noise but not too loud. The second car I have fitted that tyre and it has always been very controllable on wet snow. The tyre well behave even with a more dynamic driving on snowy roads. Ive already recommended that tyre to many of my friends and I can recommend it to you. Barum Polaris 3 is a tyre to go for!

Tyres Barum Polaris 3 are performing very well in my car. Especially in the wet. On a dry very quiet ride even on bold tyres. With these tyres the car is literally glued to the asphalt. I have no fear that i can lose traction with these tyres. They are just perfect for AUDI. Previously, I had Michelin and to be honest I can not see the difference in driving. For the price at which they are available, no one will buy better tyres. My driving style has always been aggressive but for several years now I ride with small children so I switched to safety and these tyres give me the satisfaction and sense of safe driving. I would recommend Barum Polaris 3 with my hand on heart :) Read more Collapse

The winter was unusual but while driving in such variable conditions I have decided to perform various maneuvers like braking at different speeds in different weather conditions, turning left and right at different speeds in different weather conditions, even tried to slide! This was not Certainly a professional test but I wanted to see what are the possibilities of my car fitted with Barum Polaris 3 tyres with my style od driving.Im very happy because I have found that I am able to control the car in some unusual conditions when i got the Barum Polaris 3 tyres on! I can easily recommend these tyres for any winter. Read more Collapse

I can safely recommend Barum Polaris 3 I use them in my SUV and after driving 7.500miles in different conditions i didnt have any problems with grip and driving stability. Both on dry and wet surface the tyres behave predictably,in slush the breaking distance has extended but this is understandable in such circumstances. On the ice with the recommended lower tyre pressure the Barum Polaris 3 behave extremely good when accelerating and braking. Due to the rear-wheel drive in Suzuki Grand Vitara you need to be careful when entering a turn at snowy or icy roads, because in this case any tyre wont help. Read more Collapse

I have a few same cars and almost every single one has different tyres fitted, so I have a pretty good range for comparison. In my opinion, Barum Polaris 3 are very good tyres. They behave very well on wet and in temperatures below zero. They also do well on dry and they are quiet and comfortable. I don't know how they behave typically on snow as I mostly drive in the city. I believe that they aren't worse than Continental TS800 (these are better on dry), Uniroyal MS Plus 6 or Yokohama W.Drive V903. But the previous generation of Polaris was a total failure.

The next winter Barums I bought, previously I had Barum Polaris 2, now Polaris 3 Used every day in the mountains, where winter is sometimes worrisome. On the snow the Barum Polaris 3 is sensational, no problems with going up the hill, also keeps grip. In contrast, in dry conditions, due to the soft rubber behavior is very good but not perfect,you can feel the gentle rubber pulling especially when making sudden movements of the steering wheel or making a dynamic overtaking. In conclusion the Barum Polaris 3 tyre in winter conditions is very good. Read more Collapse

Ive benefited from the Barum Polaris 3 tyres for a long time and practically in all conditions - snow, rain, slush, dry, sandy and hard terrain. Tyres not failed me once. Even with large amounts of snow and at a reasonable speed slippage or loss of traction never happened. The only downside is that they are quite noisy, especially on the highway and dry conditions, but it happens with winter tires. Overall Im very happy, tires wear out slowly, so surely last for several seasons. I would recommend the Barum Polaris 3 for sure! Read more Collapse

This is the first season I have used the Barum Polaris 3 so not everything can be assessed, but the overall rating is 5.I drove with a nail in the tyre for almost two weeks every 3-5 days pumping air. I have replaced them for summer tyres after season ends and repaired the one with the nail in it. There was no heavy winter this year, but the Barum Polaris 3 behave very well even on wet road.I personally used Michelins and Goodyears , but for some time I think I do not have to overpay becouse Barum is the one to go for!

The Barum Polaris 3 tyres are great for the city use as well as on the snowy roads outside of it, before I read the other reviews I had doubts whether this is a good choice.After driving about 4 thousand miles I can say they are great and would recommend these to others. I tested the car on the ice and can easily drive 20-30mph and stop safely (on ice), so what is more there to say? On the snow or slush the Barum Polaris 3 behave very well,so I wouldnt trade them for any other.I can reccomend these tyres. Read more Collapse

I bought a Barum Polaris 3, which had great anticipation to. However, the price played a big role, and I preferred the new one than a second hand one. Someone said Barum Polaris 3 is quite different than previous models and what a big surprise!. The Snow ReWalk - road holding, braking in curves is flawless. Not much ridden on wet surfaces and do not know how the abrasion is, but as a winter tyre for deep snow - highly recommended. In summary - great value for money. I can highly recommend that tyre.

Compared to Debica Frigo 2 - the Barum Polaris 3 tyre is much better on wet, in the snow a bit weaker. But dębica falls on wet. It is quite versatile tyre - on the faster roads far from the top ones like Dunlop or Michelin - also used them but these were not good enough in deep snow. The Barums Polaris 3 are the ideal tyres for a smaller cars used in the city and for the person who drives a reasonably even on snowy municipal roads.The drive on Barum Polaris 3 is comfortable,quiet,well and safe.

I am a beginner driver while driving license I have for many years. I cared about my safety, passengers and other road users. It is true that this years winter was not the heaviest,but in moments when the streets were snow-covered or slippery the Barum Polaris 3 tyres exercised great. As a result, I felt safe. Also on longer trips outside the city the car on Barum Polaris 3 tyres behaved perfectly. I plan to buy summer tyres this year and I will take this brand into account. Read more Collapse

I bought these new Barum Polaris 3 tyres for my new 4x4 car. This winter I had the difficult conditions when approaching the house (I live at the gorge).With the Barums Polaris 3 on there were no problems with the entry. There were even times when I doubted whether the car will make it, but attacked the driveway easily (without clearing) and always made it first time - now I know what it means to have new and good tyres on the 4x4 car.I can easily recommend that tyre. Read more Collapse

For a calm drivers with less powerful cars the Barum Polaris 3 tyres exercised very well. I think it does not make sense to spend more money on premium class tyres. Often happens that peoples wants to have a higher-end tyres, although they properties are not much greater than the budget class tyres. It seems to me that before you buy tyres you should always make a comparison of price / quality / safety.I can highly recommend the Barum Polaris 3. Read more Collapse

I can say that I have used these Barum Polaris 3 tyres on winter. From the beginning I was pleasantly surprised by these tyres because on warm days on dry asphalt they were very quiet as summer tyres. After the first snowfalls the tyre were doing very well - even on the ice did not lose grip. I have been driving for over 20 years and with all the tyres I have used they were the best and I can put these tyres together with Michelins. Read more Collapse

It's the second season I'm using Barum Polaris 3. I already did a few thousand miles and the tread is almost like brand new, but the tyres lost their grip when starting and going up some hills. I also have problems when starting from the spot, sometimes even in the city. It seems to behave quite well in the corners, I don't drive too fast because if I can't start properly then it's no use to go faster. Read more Collapse

Winter tyres Barum Polaris 3 on snow are good as much as possible, a good handling and a good grip. Also in the offroad area did not disappoint me. When it comes to driving on dry surface and cornering at higher speeds the adhesion is poor and they are noisy, just the same on wet roads. There is no need to cheat becouse they are winter tyres at an affordable price.I can recommend the Barum Polaris 3. Read more Collapse

Many tyre brands I had the pleasure to test due to the fact that I drive professionally. Unfortunately, when it comes to the handling on the snow I can not boast the Barum Polaris 3. After 2 seasons the Barum Polaris 3 tyres harden to stone and had to throw them away despite the high tread! When Michelin Xice after 6 years, slashed the snow like a knife .. This is my opinion, the choice is yours. Read more Collapse

Compared to all the winter tyres I had the Barum Polaris 3 I estimate as strong average. Considering the price, you can assess the tyres are more than good. Tyres have a problem on the wet, weaker grip. I would recommend the Barum Polaris 3 tyres for people who in winter time use the car to commute to work. If someone goes skiing or live in the mountains it will be better to buy premium tyres. Read more Collapse

I use the Barum Polaris 3 tyres on Skoda Roomster SCOUT - they are performing very well in the field and on the asphalt. 60% of the time I spend in the wilderness, and I think this is a very good choice in this price segment. Snow didnt stick to them and on slush they cope satisfactorily. Winter this year for my city was good and heavy so it was prefect to test the tyres in these conditions. Read more Collapse

The Barum Polaris 3 tyres are performing very well in both large frosts, snows also in part such as during the current winter (2013/2014) when we dealt with a lot of temperatures above 0 and rainfalls. They do not make virtually no noise, nice appearance and look solid. After covering 10000miles on Barum Polaris 3 it is difficult to see visible signs of use. I can easily recommend them. Read more Collapse

The Barum tyres in the winter version I have used for 6 years. Before I have used the Polaris 2 and the new version the Barum Polaris 3 has improved a lot. While driving on compacted and fresh snow they have a very good grip during rehearsals it was hard to slide in my car. The tyres are very quiet and I have not noticed increased fuel consumption.I can recommend these tyres to anyone. Read more Collapse

Barum Polaris 3 are tyres at a very decent price which do very well in all conditions. The car is stable, there's no problem with skidding when entering the corner at a higher speed, even in the snow. Braking is not a problem. It doesn't lose traction when driving through puddles. Starting is also fine. Generally speaking, Barum Polaris 3 can be recommended with a clear conscience. Read more Collapse

So far Ive used tyres like Kleber and Michelin.On Barums Polaris 3 I drove almost 5000miles in difficult winter conditions in the Alps mountains. I am pleasantly surprised with Barum Polaris 3. In my opinion they are as good as the well-known tyres and are much cheaper which is an advantage.For the second car (Citroen C4 Grand Picasso) I will also buy these winter tyres for sure. Read more Collapse

I bought a Barum Polaris 3 after good experiences with Barum Polaris 2 and they are great. Only swept out the snow of the garage driveway to open the door, access to the road (200m)in deep snow I defeated without any problem. When it comes to fuel consumption with Barum Polaris 3 on, the difference for the summer is really negligible. I recommend the Barum Polaris 3!!! Read more Collapse

I previously used such tyres in an Astra, they weren't Barum Polaris 3, but the previous generation, the Polaris 2, but I was satisfied with them. I didn't have any problems. They behaved very well on snow, when it comes to ice, there's no perfect tyre for it. All of the above were the reasons I bought Barum Polaris 3 for my Megane. As for now, they're good. Read more Collapse

I think that for people with peaceful driving style the Barum Polaris 3 tyres are more than enough.Im living in big city so I can speak only about the ride in the city but really the car runs great and even with hard braking the Barum Polaris 3 stickes to the surface like glue. I think I can safely recommend these Barum Polaris 3 tyres to other users. Read more Collapse

Barum Polaris 3 behaved very well in winter. The fact is there wasn't much snow, but once they allowed me to drive out of wet, caving snow. The car drove out of the hole without any problems. They didn't slide too much neither on ice nor during starting. The ESP had to react a few times after snowfalls in February, but overall I am very satisfied. Read more Collapse

I had used Barum tyres in the 60s and 70s on a Jawa CZ 175 motorcycle. They were very good. The rubber compound was flexible, it wasn't difficult to take the tyre off the rim. It didn't wear off too much. Such knowledge about the company's products and good memories of them were the main reasons for me to buy Barum Polaris 3 for my current car. Read more Collapse

The Barum Polaris 3 are a terrific value for money! Budget price but with a very high quality.Barums Polaris 3 has a good handling on dry, wet roads as well as on the heavy snow. The car on these tyres behaves predictably and does not cause rapid heartbeat for the driver and passengers. I highly recommend the Barum Polaris 3! Read more Collapse

As for me, the tyres are "baloons" - they have a very strange profile. You can inflate them up to 3 bars and they stil are "baloon"-like. As for me, they are terrible (one season, 16 thousand miles, Diesel-powered 4-year-old car). They have poor grip in ruts. In my opinion, Barum Polaris 3 are dangerous tyres. Read more Collapse

I don't know what to say about Barum Polaris 3... Once I got stuck on an ice patch in the parking lot and I wasn't able to drive away on my own, I had to be pushed out... Recently, in the early morning the car lost traction and skidded a bit on wet in the bend... I was totally surprised by the reaction... Read more Collapse

I am in favor of Barum, because both summer and winter tyres behave very well and have decent prices. They are sensational for normal driving, and such a pattern Barum Polaris 3 have does better in the mountains than various more expensive tyres. They are definitely suitable for B-sector cars and lower. Read more Collapse

As for a tyre for such a price, Barum Polaris 3 is quite a good tyre. It behaves well in winter conditions. It's much worse in temperatures above zero, especially on dry. Generally speaking, I'm satisfied with it and I can recommend it to people who look for something cheap and good. Read more Collapse

I did almost 3500 miles on Barum Polaris 3 and as for now, I can't complain. They behave very well on dry in temperatures above and below zero. They are sensational in deep, loose snow. Driving on slush is not a problem, however I didn't have an opportunity to try emergency braking. Read more Collapse

In my opinion, Barum have produced an All Weather Tyre that does what it states on the can. I have travelled many miles in good and adverse weather with the confidence that the tyres will maintain their grip and bring the car to a stop, without breaking free, every time. Read more Collapse

In my opinion they are okay better than the low profiles good grip they are noiser not really had much snow yet too test them,there seems to be a slight vibrating through the steering wheel going to get balance checked and tracking. Overall quite good. Read more Collapse

I had to exchange one tyre from my set 3 times as a "balloon" formed on it. I almost got killed by it on the motorway. They're horrible. Barum Polaris 3 can do well for half a year, and then somthing strange happend to them, like they lose pressure. Read more Collapse

It's my second set of Barum Polaris 3 already. After using summer ones I decided to get winter sets as well and it's great. As for a set for 250 pounds it's not much but it's OK, as for an almost 2-ton car! I recommend for vans. Read more Collapse

Barum Polaris 3 makes the car swerve in fast turns (light ones) at speeds above 80 MPH. As for me, it's too soft and flexible. It should be harder. I used Continentals before and such problem was absent. Read more Collapse
