Tyre reviews Viatti Bosco A/T. Page 3 3172

I wanted a universal tire for everything, to drive on the highway and to be able to slightly deviate from the asphalt. I looked at reviews, tests - it seemed like nothing, the rating is good everywhere. At the tire shop, they immediately said, based on the model, that the tire is not very good, it's essentially the same as Kama, etc.
In the end, I have mixed impressions after driving approximately 3000 km in the city and on the highway (evaluation of wear resistance in advance).
On the one hand, very good grip on clean, smooth asphalt and low noise, moderate (tolerable) noise on rough asphalt, good behavior on wet roads and in deep puddles, soft enough on defects, not afraid of large defects.
On the other hand, it's immediately visible on the balancing machine that the tire is somehow crooked. I've been to the tire shop twice, including once with the best balancing machines, and in the end, there's still vibration at speed, starting from around 90 km/h throughout the car (the steering wheel doesn't vibrate at this speed) and the farther you go, the worse it gets.
I haven't had a chance to try it off-road yet. At temperatures around 0°C, they behave well, don't become hard, you can drive with caution or change them from winter to summer or vice versa a bit earlier or later.
If I summarize - it could be a pretty good tire in terms of price-quality if it weren't for the manufacturing quality... I wouldn't take it again and would only recommend it for rural areas and small towns for something like a Dacia, Niva, to drive around, although it's not the most budget-friendly option.

Results of 5 years of operation. It rides quite loudly on asphalt. With each year, the noise gets louder. It becomes harder over time. Cracks started to appear on the rubber.
On dirt roads, the tire rides fairly well. On clay, it's bad, it wraps around the wheels, there's no self-cleaning.
A bulge appeared on the sidewall of one tire, there were no serious pothole hits.
I check the balance every year (the tires are always on the rims), it's a whole quest for tire fitters, they re-glue several times. There's a lot of cargo, on a pair of wheels in 2 rows.
There was an experience of driving on the first rolled snow. It added gray hair. There's no braking at all, ABS crackles, the car slides further like on skis.- Vehicle:

The cord disintegrated, the maximum speed at which I drove was 160 km, rolled off 2 seasons (can be said 1, since I live in the north)
Maybe I was unlucky with the batch, but I have no desire to buy this product again.

Excellent tires, driven on summer on Don-4 highway, performed perfectly, heat, rain, no issues, acceptable noise level, good handling, and a great price.

I'm looking for the most durable tires I can find, as they're pricey now. I've been using these for a season (2017) and I haven't noticed any wear. I've driven on all sorts of roads and they handled it all with ease. They feel reliable and I've had no unexpected issues. There may be better tires out there, but these work just fine for my car and me.

Bought 2016 model. Size 215/65R16. Installed on Alcasta wheel rims. Balancing went well. Not many loads. Drove one summer on a Chevrolet Niva. 80% city driving. Inter-city several times only. Doesn't vibrate on the highway (of course, the Niva has a lot of noise, but the tyres are inaudible). Holds the road confidently, both dry and wet. Pretty soft. No cracks or punctures

I needed a good tire: one that wouldn't be afraid of potholes and could go fast on the highway when the mood struck. I read up on different tires and went to a shop. The sales assistant asked me what parameters I was looking for in a tire and recommended I take one, which I decided to check out online, as I had never heard of it before and was surprised to see many positive reviews. I went, bought it, and couldn't be happier: I balanced it

About five years ago, I moved to Astrakhan. It was there that I first started using all-season tyres. I'm now on my second year with the BOSCO A/T. Among the obvious benefits, I can highlight the following: good grip on any surface, braking qualities are not compromised even at sub-zero temperatures (does not become brittle), strong and wear-resistant. If we take a closer look: and in light snow (when the asphalt becomes a mess), and in the rain

Bought last year, actually towards the end of it, only used it for a month. Was quite surprised when I got stuck in the snow, but managed to get out with some effort. Didn't want to take any risks, so switched to winter tyres. They're not great on ice, but on asphalt they're as smooth as on rails. Good on dirt roads and in the forest. One plus is good aquaplaning resistance. Braking on gravel is very good, but on

In terms of price/quality ratio the tire is excellent. The most pleasing feature for me is its wear resistance, as my driving style is moderately aggressive. In the rain it behaves beautifully, even at 100 km/h in a downpour, it doesn’t cause any stress. This is exactly the tire that made me stop being afraid of aquaplaning. On dry roads everything is great too, it sticks to the asphalt to the very end. At the moment the tires are starting to sag
