Outdated Product
A winter tyre with a balanced ride that emphasizes responsive and precise handling in the changing conditions of the cold season. The model meets the road with a directional tread pattern with a symmetrical arrangement of functional blocks in the shape of a herringbone. With their "branches" they close to the central aqua-drainage channel, and the tyre also has two more circumferential channels for draining water and melted snow. The tread blocks of the Barum Polaris 5 195/65 R15 91T are covered with many multidirectional three-dimensional sipes that enhance the edge effect. As a result, the tyre demonstrates confident traction on slippery roads and has a shortened braking distance. Varying sipe depths contribute to optimal stiffness distribution, thereby reducing tread wear. The model is...notable for low rolling resistance, long mileage before abrasion, soft and quiet running. Also, rubber perfectly maintains directional stability in a straight line at high speeds.

great model, I really liked it

Be sure to take this model. I've had these tyres for three seasons now. Holds the road well. In snow, even deep rowing normally.
Great tires

For your own money, the European gum

The tire is top-heavy, it trims hard and is noisy in the world. Top for your money)
Soft and not for all the money
The little bits are a little on the high side.

Rubber for dry asphalt. Snow and especially ice does not like. I do not advise.

Herringbone tread

Winter friction tires Barum Polaris 5 from the Czech brand Barum, part of the reputable concern Continental AG, have a number of characteristics that make them an attractive choice for drivers. These tires have a classic winter tread pattern that resembles a herringbone shape. This design provides excellent traction on wet and slippery roads, ensuring vehicle stability on both packed and loose snowy roads. In addition, the drainage circumferential channels in the Barum Polaris 5 tire design quickly remove and retain snow, which improves traction in winter conditions.

Dense 3D lamellaization

The tire tread blocks are covered with many three-dimensional sipes of different depths. These sharp edges of the sipes help the tire bite into slippery surfaces, which enhances the edge effect and improves the transmission of traction and braking properties. The different sipe depths also help optimize rigidity, making the tire tread less susceptible to wear.

An excellent option from the economy segment

These tires have wide shoulder areas that provide stability while maneuvering on the road. The Barum Polaris 5 tire's silicone-containing rubber compound reduces rolling resistance, resulting in lower fuel consumption. In addition, these tires are soft and have low noise levels when driving. In the economy segment of winter tires, they represent an attractive offer for car owners who value safety on the road, but do not want to overpay for brand tires.
