Tyre reviews Viatti Bosco S/T 457

I decided to install Viatti Bosco ST on my Honda CRV, understanding that I mostly drive in the city, so I chose non-studded tires. After reading many positive reviews about Viatti tires, I decided to experiment. The fact that they are made in Russia has never bothered me, since I previously used Kama tires on my work car. These tires combine perfectly with my driving style and have good wear resistance. In winter conditions, they perform excellent, including on slushy snow. On dry roads, they provide reliable traction and a short braking distance. The sidewalls are sturdy, causing no concerns.

The first set was very good, wiped to zero, the rubber compound is good, the tread pattern is flawless, it even works on ice! without spikes. But after buying a second set, I was shocked by the blatant defects in the tire! Factory defect! The factory acknowledged one tire as defective, but tried to dismiss the others. The result was a court case, and the court ruled in my favor. During the trial, the factory behaved terribly, it's not a manufacturer of products for high-risk activities, such as vehicles, tires are one of the most critical components of a vehicle, the factory thinks it's producing condoms. After using the first set of tires, my relatives purchased 14-inch tires with defects, 15-inch tires with defects, 16-inch tires with defects, all due to the tire's sidewall, the tires are crooked, the car shakes. Everywhere there are VSPMO disks, no explanations needed! In summary, the rubber compound and tread pattern are good, but the defects in the sidewall are a waste of money, health, and a big risk! I have all the photos of the defects. Never deal with Viatti, they can't be responsible for their products, they're not a real manufacturer, I don't know what they are. Take care of yourself!

I'm satisfied with the tire. It performs as expected on the snow, and is able to handle the snowpack without any issues. The sidewalls are strong and hold up to impacts, with a relatively even and not overly rapid wear. Another plus is its quiet ride. On the ice, its behavior is predictable, and I don't expect any issues. For now, I'm satisfied with its quality and I think I'll purchase another set when it wears out.

The tires, in general, pleased me. The quality is worthy. They are well-balanced, confidently grip the snow and snow mash. They hold stably on icy sections. The noise level is average, not louder, not quieter than the analogs, it does not cause any discomfort in general. The sidewalls are strong, they do not become brittle in strong frosts. I am satisfied, I recommend.

I chose the non-studded one, since it's a permanent four-wheel drive and I mostly drive in the city. It's very soft, handles snow drifts well, and holds confidently at high speeds (I've driven up to 150 km/h on it).

Not a single sidewall cut or puncture, balances perfectly. I highly recommend it for small crossovers. The tire is not sporty, but very comfortable for daily driving.

I'm driving on the Snowstar. In December last year, I bought these tires on sale. The price was already low, but I was never bothered by the different year of manufacture of the tires. I have two tires from the middle of 18th year, one from 17th and one from the beginning of 18th.

So far, it hasn't affected me, although I was warned about the potential risks. On snow, the Viatti work well so far

A normal economy option, if you're a fan of racing on the track in winter, then probably better to choose something else, but for calm driving, it's good tires, can even be used all year round, like I do, I've been using them for almost 2.5 years now and given their cost, I naturally have no complaints about them. Even despite the fact that the tires are winter ones, they're okay in the summer too, on dirt and sand they perform great. On ice, understandably, without studs, you won't get anything special from them, but in the cold, they don't become stiff and remain soft, they handle snow and snowy obstacles well. They are balanced fairly well, I didn't notice any strong noise at speeds of up to 150 km/h.

Actually quite good tires. They're a bit noisy, and braking isn't always instantaneous on ice. However, the tires grip well, which I was counting on. They clear snow well in any condition, so they earn their money back in full. On asphalt, the tires behave very well.

In 2017, I bought a car with these tires. I liked everything, they handled snow well and got me out of any situation. Overall, they were really great. I was very satisfied, although they were noisy, but I didn't particularly care about the noise issue. The tread is really aggressive in real life, looks good, and there was no question about driving on snow.

On 16.05.2022, I had to replace them. I took exactly the same ones and... on 15.12.2024, my rear right wheel, with almost no wear on the tread, simply cracked along the entire length of the tire. Obviously, it's a defect... I only drove for 1.5 years and this happened. Apparently, they started making defective products. I decided to switch to different tires.

That's good. I bought it at the beginning of last winter as a replacement for the winter tires that were still in the salon. I was specifically looking for non-studded tires because I was tired of the knocking and rumbling of the studs on the asphalt, so when evaluating, I take into account that it's non-studded. The braking distance is sometimes longer than that of studded tires, for example, traction on snowy slopes and ice is also worse, but acceptable. Sometimes it creates the feeling that it's about to get stuck, but it never came to that, it always managed to get out. For urban and highway use, it's one of the best options, in my opinion, I'm satisfied with the purchase.
