Review on Viatti Brina V-521 215/60 R16 95T winter by Mateusz Gniazdowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can find better.

Having read positive reviews and flattered by the cheapness, I purchased these tires for Largus at the end of November in the dimension 185/65/15. At first, the car "scoured" along the highway, but rolled up after 500 kilometers. The first unpleasant surprise was waiting in a couple of weeks. It began to rain and with not very intensive braking on the pavement, the ABS began to chirp, which was not noticed on dry land. The car didn't feel confident in corners either. A trip to Hong Kong in the rain along a serpentine lasted 7 hours, instead of the usual 5. During the night frosts, when the asphalt was iced, the grip on the road became completely “not ice”. It did snow in January. The car was not going confidently over the porridge, but on the rolled snow crust it was just great. It is a pity that in the Kuban snow crust is 1-2 weeks a year. So, rubber is either for dry asphalt or for packed snow.

Pros
  • traction on packed snow
Cons
  • Grip on ice, "porridge" and wet pavement.
