Just got back from 2017 Fall Crossfire ToD GTG in Fontana Dam, NC. Wanted to post here that this was the first experience for me with the Barum Bravuris 3HM tires other than normal day-to-day driving. I gotta say that I was impressed with how "sure-footed" the XFire performed on roadways that can create some challenges. It's been quite a few years since the XFire felt so responsive and gripped the roadway like it did. Just convinced me that my selection & purchase of this tire was a good one.
