Tyre reviews Boto Vantage H-7 7068

I've been driving a Honda Odyssey for over 10 years. Initially, I had Japanese Dunlop all-season tires that came with the car from the previous owner. I don't remember the model, but I liked them. They were very durable and reliable. Then, in the summer, I bought German (made in) Michelin Primacy for 8,200 rubles in 2012. I liked them. I thought they were the best. However, they weren't very quiet. After that, I bought French (ha-ha) Continental Premium Contact in 2017 for 8,100 rubles. They proved to be better than Michelin in all aspects, except for wear resistance. They weren't very quiet either. I really liked them, especially how well they performed in the rain. In the spring of 2022, I decided to try something new and bought Chinese Boto Vantage H7 tires for 7,600 rubles, having read numerous positive reviews about this brand's tires for commercial and cargo transportation (there were about 10 reviews for passenger car models). I chose the model based on the picture: the tread pattern and plump sidewalls are similar to Continental. I drove on the Continental until mid-summer, until the wear indicators, and it worked well. I replaced the tires with Chinese ones in July, and the first thing I noticed was that the noise disappeared. It's still there, of course, but much quieter. This is important to me. They were balanced differently: two tires had 0-15 and 5-15, while the other two had 15-65 and 20-60. They're even, and don't vibrate up to 160 km/h; I didn't drive faster. Compared to the 5-year-old Continental, worn down to the indicators, these tires are better in everything. However, I haven't driven in heavy rain on them yet. Once, when leaving a parking lot, I scratched the sharp edge of a curbstone with the rear wheel: I tore off a piece of rubber from the sidewall, 2 x 4 x 0.6 cm in size, and scratched the disk, but miraculously didn't reach the cord. I filled the hole with black silicone, and I've been driving for a month, almost forgetting about it. In general, I like them. I haven't tried them in winter, and I don't plan to (I use Japanese Dunlop in winter).

For now, I am satisfied with the quality and operation of these tires! By some criteria, I cannot evaluate these tires, because they are summer ones. It's also too early to talk about their durability, as I've only been driving them for the second season. That's why I'm writing this review now, as I've had some impressions of this tire brand. In general, the quality and price at the time of purchase only bring positive emotions. I purchased them in September 2022. The price at that time was very pleasant, considering the price situation on the tire market.

excellent tire, no noise, holds the road perfectly at all speeds. very satisfied.

Excellent price-quality ratio, holds the road well on both wet and dry surfaces. Not noisy at all. I had Goodyear tires before and they were very loud, but now it's quiet. The tires are not bad, no drawbacks so far.

Expected the worst. In general, I am satisfied. Unfortunately, it's not on sale yet, I wanted to buy it as a spare. These are summer tires, but the system doesn't allow me not to rate the winter performance.

The rubber is soft, the directional stability is good, the braking is excellent, and the quality looks good for its price.

Excellent performance for the given amount. There is no noise at all, I have passed full tests, very satisfied

I don't know how it's possible to find any flaws in these tires at this price (5490 for 235x50x18)))

And that's considering I bought them to replace Pirelli Powergy 225/50R18, which cost almost three times as much. With the Pirelli, I got some kind of weird misalignment - they turned out to be terribly uneven. I bought them in the fall, installed them in the spring, and got constant imbalance and vibration at speed. I couldn't fix it despite multiple tire rebalancing and reinstallation. So I just decided to change the almost new Pirelli (mileage less than 1...1.5 thousand km) to something cheap to get through the season.

I stumbled upon Boto Vantage H-7 235/50R18 at a price that I just couldn't resist))

In my humble opinion, the tires are excellent!!! This is just my personal opinion, I don't claim to have any objective data.

1. All 4 wheels were balanced well. On one wheel, the weight was 45 grams on the inner side (maybe the rim is slightly damaged). 3 wheels - up to 25 grams!!! Amazing result!!!

2. They are indeed quiet. I haven't had a chance to drive over 120 km/h yet. The fact that they are quiet in city traffic is not surprising with such a tread pattern. But even at speeds around 110 km/h, it's really quiet. There's no hum from the tires at all. The Pirelli tires hummed much louder.

3. Handling, braking, and behavior on wet roads - I guess only great drivers and professionals can appreciate the difference. I don't see any difference from the Pirelli. There's even a feeling that due to the 235 width instead of 225, the car has acquired a sense of "ironing"))) at speed!

4. Soft and comfortable. The same bumps and potholes in the asphalt are now less noticeable when driving over them.

5. How it will affect fuel consumption - we'll see over time.

Durability, wear, and strength when hitting bumps - I don't know. I haven't had a chance to experience it yet. I think it will be approximately average.

To be honest, I'm shocked!!! I'm now terribly upset that I bought branded tires for my other car, which cost about the same as this set of 4 tires.

The only plus is that they are low-noise. The tread is uneven, I rebalanced them three times, but only lowering the pressure helped to reduce the bouncing... They are also very prone to aquaplaning, after replacing them I almost left the road, not expecting such behavior.

I put tires on my old battered Opel. I drive to and from work, about 40 km a day. The tires are fine, they hold the road well at both 80 and 110 km/h. They perform equally well on wet and dry asphalt. I even drove through May frost, there was real ice on the road, but I never skidded. In short, I'm satisfied with the tires.
