Anybody heard of Barum Bravuris tires?

I just got a set of Barum Bravuris 215/40 17s to replace my OEM runflats on my 05 MCS. I went crosseyed looking at all the threads on tires and it seems like there are just as many positive and negative threads for any given tire out there...so I figured what the hell, I've got a month to return/replace them. Has anybody had any experience with these tires? Bravuris

...And by the way, I'm going to have to start a new thread just for the butcher job they did on my lovely Alessio Polar 17s in hyperblack. Thank you Discount Tire

Weird name for a tire marketed in the US. Made by Continental, yes?

Yes, it is made by Continental. I couldn't find any info or reviews online anywhere. The guy at Discount Tire said they have only been out for about 6 months.

i just bought some Barum Tires from Discount. A good price ($98) for a Z-rated tire. I have had them for about a month or so. I like them. A very smooth running tire. Holds well in the corners. I went with some 215/75/17. I like the look of them also
