The Barum Bravuris 5 HM 22545R17 91Y brings a 225 mm width and 45% sidewall to 17-inch wheel setups, positioning it as a summer choice for passenger cars.
Rated at load index 91 (up to 615 kg / 1356 lbs) and speed index Y (up to 300 km/h / 186 mph), the tire sits in the budget-friendly C1 category.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. This is a standard-build tire rather than a reinforced one, in line with typical load needs for passenger vehicles.
On the EU tire label, it scores a D in fuel efficiency, B in wet grip, and B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 71 dB — neither notably quiet nor loud.
Keep in mind the EU label doesn’t capture everything — dry-road handling, aquaplaning resistance, and wear rate aren’t part of the official rating, so it’s worth weighing alongside fuel efficiency and wet grip.
