Tires "Viatti Brina Nordiko": reviews. "Viatti" - winter tires studded

Domestic company "Viatti" first made itself felt in 2010. Therefore, we can say that this is a very young company and still little-known. Nevertheless, popularity came pretty quickly. In the same year in the light came out the tires "Viatti". Comments from consumers are mixed, so you need to look more closely at the characteristics of the tire and get acquainted with consumer opinion.

Some general information

Despite the fact that the tires have Italian and German roots, they are produced in domestic factories. But most of the equipment is still foreign, this should only talk about the high quality of the product at the outlet. As already noted above, reviews about tires "Viatti" mixed. But the negative is more often associated with Russians' distrust of the quality of the domestic product.

It should be noted immediately that the model of "Brina Nordiko" considered in this article is one of the latest developments, which was highly appreciated by the results of testing. Domestic developers took into account the operating conditions of the tire and made it as durable as possible. In particular, this applies to the sidewall, which is most susceptible to mechanical damage. Let's see if a novelty of your money is worth it or it is better to overpay and purchase a tire from Europe or Asia.

Tread pattern

In the eyes immediately rushes asymmetry. If you consider that most modern tires have a symmetrical tread pattern, then this is somewhat unusual. But apparently, it is completely justified. Conditionally, the protector can be divided into several working areas. Each of them is responsible for certain characteristics. For example, the lateral part is rigid and has grooves. This prevents the tire from drastically breaking into lateral drift. The central part of the tread is responsible for the course stability of the car when driving on a straight road, while the outer one ensures confident maneuvering.

Since each zone is responsible for a particular task, the blocks of the protector differ in shape and size. And, of course, one can not help but mention the thorns. Here they play a major role and provide an optimal grip on the icy road surface.

Viatti tires: manufacturer, reviews

Since 2010, the rubber is made at the Nizhnekamsk plant. According to many motorists, this is almost the first decent winter domestic tire. Although among the competitors there are such firms as "Kama", "Cordiant" and others. Yet many prefer Viatti.

Unfortunately, while there is no special choice of winter rubber. Presented only one model of "Brina Nordic", the range for the summer is somewhat larger. But sometimes one product is enough to understand whether it is worth it or not. If we talk about the winter tire "Viatti", then this is a good choice for the harsh Russian winter. The tire is designed taking into account the climate in which it will be operated. If European tires are adapted to use in low temperatures and a large amount of snow, then "Brino Nordic" in such conditions is created. This, in fact, is famous for the tire manufacturer "Viatti". The reviews confirm high performance.

Clutch on snow and ice

For stability and patency in the snow, there are massive blocks of the protector, which on this model is more than enough. They are located relatively far from each other, which allows you to keep the road. A large number of sharp edges, which are located on the edges of the checkers, contributes to improved grip. This tire work allows you to feel confident on a snow-covered road or off-road. This is confirmed by consumer reviews.

The Viatti Breen tires provide stability on the ice crust. At the same time, a large number of slats works. Each of these elements, when in contact with the road surface, forms sharp edges. In fact, each lamella clings even to the slightest roughness. It is reinforced by the presence of spikes, which literally bite into the ice and reduce the risk of demolition and slippage.

On the key features of rubber

Due to the original configuration of the tire, excellent coupling properties are achieved on all types of surfaces. Rubber perfectly behaves on dry asphalt and at small plus temperatures. Due to the presence of massive blocks of the protector, a high passableness on loose snow is achieved, and the drainage system effectively cleans the tire from the accumulated snow and quickly removes water from the contact patch. Thanks to this, you can feel confident and do not be afraid to load in the snow porridge, which, in fact, confirms consumer testimonials. Winter stud tires "Viatti" have a unique asymmetric protector, which makes it comfortable to feel almost on any winter cover. Dense lamination ensures good adhesion on ice. In general, a fairly balanced and high-quality tires.

Studded tires "Viatti": reviews of drivers

A lot of motorists positively characterize the operational data of this model of tires. First of all, note that there is very good balancing. Of course, sometimes you have to go to tire fitting, but it happens very rarely. Many drivers, looking at the price, are convinced that the thorns fall after the first winter. In fact, this is a deep delusion. With a properly completed run-in, the protector does not lose thorns at all. After the first season of exploitation, about 10% of the spines are lost. If you travel all the time on a clean asphalt, then about 20%.

Drivers also note that the service life of rubber is about 4 seasons. Given the low cost, this is more than enough. Pretty well keep the road when driving through snow and water, but with ice problems. But if you do not make sharp maneuvers, then there will be no problems.

About shortcomings

Not all drivers so positively respond about tires of domestic production. Many say that for a daily urban winter this is a normal option, but all the advantages are lost once the real winter begins. Viatti tires, the reviews we are considering, are not famous in most cases because of the quality of the studs. Though opinions here are rather inconsistent. Someone says that the spikes in this tire are strong enough and do not drop out too much, while others already have problems at the beginning of the second operating season. Here much depends on the style of driving and on how correctly the run-in was done.

It is not recommended to drive the first 800 kilometers at a speed above 80 km / h, and also advise to exclude as much as possible slips and sharp maneuvers. Drivers complain about the noise level. Rubber really breaks the acoustic comfort, which is noticeable from the first days of operation, and even at a low speed.

Overview of the V521

Here we will also benefit from consumer feedback. The Viatti Breen tires V 521 are of the friction type and have a symmetrical tread pattern. The tire shows fairly good results on loose snow. Even if it starts to slip, then after a few seconds it confidently clings to the surface and pulls out the car. Also, drivers note that the rubber is soft enough. Even in the thirty-degree cold it does not dub and behaves stably.

Due to the absence of thorns and a well-worked compound, this is quite a quiet rubber. For your price range, even too, which is amazing. Well, in fact, the final dignity - the price. Set R15 costs about 10 thousand. For this money there are only a few options: the purchase of used tires of Japanese manufacture, or domestic "Kama", or similar.

Are there any downsides?

In this regard, the web also has relevant feedback. Winter tires "Viatti Brina" V521 uncertainly behave on the ice and rolled snow. Although this disadvantage can be attributed more likely to the entire category of friction-type tires, and not specifically to this model. Another drawback, which is often paid attention, is the deterioration of the coupling characteristics on wet asphalt at a temperature outside the +10 and above. In other respects, there are no serious complaints about stability and stability. Although this tire is more suitable for European winter, very often Russians use the V521 and do not complain.

Other models from the company "Viatti"

The model range on the tires considered by us is not limited. Many motorists prefer to use Viatti Bosco tires. The testimonies indicate that this is a relatively inexpensive, but at the same time, high-quality alternative to the tires of European and Asian production. The Bosco line-up is presented both in summer (A / T) and winter (S / T) versions.

Advantages of summer tires are that it perfectly copes with complex sections of roads. Dirt and water for this tire is not a problem. It can be called relatively quiet in its price range. The R16 tire costs about 3500 rubles. Give 14 thousand for a set of rubber of this quality is really possible, it is confirmed by many motorists with their reviews. Summer tires "Viatti" - this is an excellent alternative to European tires.

The winter line is represented by friction-type rubber. It behaves well when riding on snow and water, but on the ice there are certain problems. Extremely durable model, since it has reinforced sidewalls. The cost of a set of wheels 225/60 R17 - only 15 thousand rubles.

Let's sum up the results

Here we are, in fact, sorted out the quality of tires of this domestic manufacturer. Rubber for its price is very high quality, and many praise it, leaving positive reviews on thematic forums. The Viatti Brino Nordico tires are well-suited for the operation of a car in conditions of a large amount of snow. If you often have to travel on the ice, then definitely choose a spiky. When a relatively clean road or simply snow is prevalent, the Velcro will be the most suitable option.

There is plenty to choose from for summer use. The assortment of sizes is big enough, therefore to find a suitable model for a small car or an SUV will not be very difficult. In any case, the new Viatti tire is better than used, but it's also not worth comparing it to more expensive European tires. Most of the motorists bought this rubber simply because there was not enough money for the other, and as a result they did not regret it. Therefore, in order to save your budget, it makes sense to try out the "Viatti" rubber.
