Purchased in order to frame an SUV. The decision to buy these tires was an easy one for me to make given that I do 99% of my driving on asphalt, and the pricing point felt reasonable given the circumstances. The date "4722" was marked on the tires, which were delivered in very good condition. They overboarded and balanced the load; there was between ten and forty grams of goods on each tire, which I consider to be a decent indicator. Before that, I was behind the wheel of a Matador MP 82 Conquerra 2 for a total of seven seasons, so you have something to base your comparison on. Only limited comparisons will be possible: I was not aware of any noise when riding either the Matador or the Viatti; I experienced the typical level of acoustic comfort, whatever that may be; this was true regardless of the rate of movement. The management is the same both when it is raining and when it is on dry pavement. Because the price difference is exactly twice as much as the first, it is not able to buy something that is more "branded" (I never believed that I would have to ride Kama). In a nutshell, after skating for several thousand kilometers, I have nothing negative to report at this point. I recommend tires.
