Tyre reviews Viatti Bosco Nordico. Page 14 1896

I bought this one during winter, lots of good reviews. I thought I'd try the budget tire. It's been replaced by Dunlop Grandtrek Ice 02, the same size, 215-65-16. Dunlop is better, so there's a feeling that you're driving on stones. Viatto is softer, but also not so aggressive. The tire is not for comfort, but for long distances. I've so far driven 6000 km, and I can

Quite good tires, considering their relatively low price. I drive carefully, with the exception of when I'm in a hurry. They plow through snow well, and I've never gotten stuck in a drift. They do tend to spin a bit on asphalt, but that's to be expected with a stud, and it always seems to harmonize with the asphalt. The tire is soft - it definitely doesn't stiffen up below -25°C, and it's fairly durable, with a good level

Excellent tires. Expected less given the price, but for me it was fully justified. I drive in the city and on light off-road, very light, and once a year on a fishing trip. The tires are durable, I've noticed almost no wear. I've lost about 3 studs from each wheel. They work well on braking, including on ice. Snow is their main covering. I have questions about driving on wet roads, but that's not so often and not so critical. Overall

The tires are on a family car and have been in use for over two years. I'll start with the braking: excellent with packed snow, just as with a loose surface, and good on black ice, although I didn't drive much on it. I can say that they hold well there. Braking and acceleration depend on the surface: better on snow, naturally worse on ice. The steering does not lose control in maneuvers. The rubber compound is soft enough.

Good and strong tires for their price. I expected a bit less: thought it would quickly wear out and get uneven. So far, neither of these. The only drawback - traction on wet roads, but I was expecting that.

Very good tires for their price. They have a large set of positive characteristics. I liked: quality of manufacture, good reactions when changing lanes, high side wall strength. Also a good grip on ice – even in skidding, there is no loss of confidence, the car behaves predictably. Relatively low noise level among studded tires. A fair price in relation to quality.

Replaced my Viatti Bosco tires on my Santa Fe with the previous Skoda and Viatti Brina Nordico. Really liked the Brina Nordico for 2 seasons, no complaints - all the studs are still in place, it holds the road well and is not as noisy as other tires claim to be. Recently replaced with the new ones and I'm doing break-in even now, with minimal noise during break-in. I'm satisfied with the tires for now, I'll add to

The tires came with the car from the previous owner, he drove on them for no more than 2000 kilometers as claimed. He broke them in and didn't kill the tire, and that's thanks enough!

However, the tires have worked through the whole previous winter and half of the one before it. Not without complaints.

The main advantages: looked at the price of replacement, it is very low for such tires. Snowplows can drive on it, there is almost no wear on it

I purchased this tire for its good price-quality ratio. Having lived in a rural area, I was forced to choose the studded winter tires – roads in villages are not very good, as you know. They do an excellent job of digging up snow, predictability on the ice, and high stability in turns. The high-quality stud tread – the studs are firmly in place. There is noise, well, what could you expect from studded tires? – the noise was always there on asphalt.

The tires have already completed half of the total mileage (20,000 km) this winter. There is some wear, but it's tolerable. They should be able to last for another such winter. They do a good job clearing snow from everywhere: dirt roads, city streets, and highways.

They brake well on ice, better than expected. However, they perform poorly on wet roads, but this is a minority of the total mileage. Overall, they are a solid middle-of-the-pack
