Tyre reviews Viatti Bosco H/T. Page 4 561

A worthy alternative

Already driven 2 summers on Nissan Qashqai +2. Adequate price for adequate characteristics. Minor irregularities are not felt, major ones pass steadily without damage. Freely passes muddy roads in wet weather. Caught snow and slush on it, moves steadily.

At this price, it's probably the best that's currently available. The downsides are noise and comfort. The advantages are durability and wear resistance. Sufficiency, traction, stability, and moderate off-road capability. For me, as a city dweller, it's a workable option. 235/55-r17 Volvo V60 Cross Country

Over three seasons, from unexpected complexities, that season returning along the track got into snow but without frost, how many hours of snow porridge passed steadily, though at a speed of no more than 90, because of the unexpected weather surprise. In the summer, excellent grip and stability in puddles. Steers easily. In terms of running characteristics in the city, it's no worse than the previous Yokohama and Bridgestone. I won't compare comfort due to the price difference.

Purchased 265/65R17 in spring 2024 for Mitsubishi Pajero. Satisfied that at such a price it goes well on asphalt and light mud. It doesn't skid off the road, entering a turn is confident, without strong tilting, the tires have enough power to hold the car. It brakes predictably, again, considering the weight of the car. If there's water on the road, it doesn't hydroplane, the contact is always tight. Didn't disappoint.

Renault Capur 215-60-R17 Bosko NT durable, reliable, and sturdy. Mileage over 50 thousand, working condition, no damage. Handles any road well. In the rain, you drive confidently, puddles are noticeable, but it doesn't wobble. For this price, the tires are excellent, no worse than more expensive ones.

Dunlop has been driven out, on a Honda Accord, took a try of Viatti. Surprised, by the feeling, it's better than the previous ones, maybe because they're still new. Everything is smooth and comfortable, maneuverability is good, holds the road well. On a wet road, everything is in order and they follow the course. Asphalt joints are crossed without tension. A pit did not cause any damage. Joints are passed smoothly.

Over three seasons, I've been pleased with the durability, indestructibility, and moderate off-road capability - moderate because there's no desire to get stuck, and where needed, it was enough to get through. Since the second car in the family is on highway tires, I can say in comparison that BOSKO also behaves confidently on asphalt and all movement processes are manageable. It handles dry and wet roads well. During the operation, the tires did not reveal any defects.

The price-quality ratio is normal. The sidewalls are hard, the tire fitter slightly grumbled (235 55 R17). They were balanced without any problems (production end of 2022). On the road, they are rather soft, the Bridgestone Potenza in stock are rigid, I still remember them. Before that, I had Michelin, which were too soft and worn out quickly. Then I had Kumho, which lasted for five seasons (30,000 km). I'm satisfied with the noise level, it depends on the asphalt, but it's quieter in the cabin than the previous ones. I chose them after a long consideration, the price helped me make the decision. So far, I'm satisfied, but the mileage is not significant, so not all of my assessments are objective.

The tires hold the road well, even in the rain. I didn't feel any aquaplaning, they ride like on rails, but they are very noisy. Usually, after switching from winter tires, the car would become quieter, but now the noise hasn't decreased, it may have even increased. Previously, I had Yokohama tires, and after switching from winter tires, I could only hear a slight rustling sound. I haven't driven on snow and ice, as these are summer tires.
