Tyre reviews Viatti Brina. Page 17 1948

Now it's the third year, and I've finally figured out in a week how to get a good grip with the tire and if I keep it, if not, then quickly take it off and get a new one. The first thousand kilometers this year showed that the tire lasts until next year.

On ice, of course, the grip is much worse than with studs and Brina is no exception, but in all other respects, it is an excellent tire. Since I rarely get on open ice, I usually end up on some rolled-up pile of road in the yard, so no need to buy studs.

On this set, I've already been for two years, and I see no need to change them.

I visited a tire shop today, the technician said the tires are very good, well-balanced, despite being almost 3 years old. I personally think the tires are good, I was driving on studded tires for 5 years, and it was much worse in the city compared to Viatas.

I really like the tire. Good price, good quality. Quiet and comfortable. There is a minor drawback in terms of cornering stability (depending on driving style). Good water evacuation. I didn't get stuck in the snow even once. On the highway, too, without any complaints. In general, I'm as happy as a clam. It's nice that a Russian manufacturer is involved in these tires.

Outstanding in every way, except for maybe getting into 90-degree turns on a heavily snow-plowed road, when it's a bit of a drag.

Once, it stalled at 80 km/h, swerving to avoid an accident. The brake was very powerful, but the car stopped in less than 2 seconds.

In all other respects, I don't know where it could be improved. I have experience with 3 years of Nordman on a Sp

I'm planning to change my car within a year, so I opted for a budget-friendly option for city driving. I settled on Viatti as it received good reviews and is affordable. So far, I've driven 4,000 km and can say that the tires fully grip at negative temperatures, hold the asphalt better, and are almost non-reactive to oil slicks. In the snow, they behave just like my previous studded tires did.

Strong points - driving on snow and asphalt. Does not like to ride on icy grooves, starts to vibrate. On smooth ice and machine-finished snow, handling is normal, but you need to brake in advance, as it tends to lock up.

Not bad tread, rides better than expected on snow and ice. On asphalt, meets expectations. Has exceeded 120 mph but was driven hard on the track often. Does not drag the car, which in itself is a good thing.

Tires on my car are quite expensive, especially the winter ones, so I bought a new one two years ago on sale. It turned out to be a great deal, as I've already driven it for two years and it should last for at least another year or possibly even longer. The tire barely loses its traction qualities with wear, which was a pleasant surprise, as my previous Dunlop was already quite mediocre after just one year.

I bought one last year after trying a friend's and found no difference between a two-year-old Hakka and a Bridgestone this year. I sold the Hakka and bought a Bridgestone, paying an extra 1,200 RUR for the set. So far, my last year's impression that the tyres on the asphalt are very good has not been proven wrong.
