Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8. Page 12 685

I've ordered from you before. It performed well in the winter. It was soft in the cold. It gripped well in snowdrifts. On ice, if not driven aggressively, it had good traction, just like all the other stud tires. I'm satisfied with the purchase.

After about 6 months of operation (that's how long our winter is). No complaints about the tires. No road camber feeling, good directional stability, including on the track. No studs have fallen off during the time of operation. Gathers snow and brakes on ice.

Best choice for winter tires.

Top Choice

After several winters of use, a bulge appeared and longitudinal cracks appeared. It's annoying that they didn’t all happen at the same time, but one by one. One tyre failed, you buy a new one. Then another tyre and so on. As a result, you can’t refuse the manufacturer until you sell the car.

Hi there. Not a big fan of writing reviews, so I'll keep it short. The "Hakka 8" tire is EXTREMELY noisy! If you prioritize acoustic comfort for your ears, then it's a definite no-go, under any circumstances. I'm thoroughly disappointed with this model. Having previously driven with Pirelli studded tires for 2 years, I can say that this tire's level of comfort, safety, and noise is in a completely different league!

Great tire!
- Soft
- Wears well (last winter the temperature was above zero. All winter on asphalt)
- Sipes lose traction rarely (also on asphalt in positive temperatures)
- You can't help it, sipes are always noisier than studs. But here everyone chooses for themselves. I'm for studs!
- The tread digs well (in snowy days in uncleaned garages it gets in without any problems)<

Our first set of tires was great, but in the winter of 2019 we unfortunately got stuck in a snowbank twice and punctured the tire twice, which was very soft. Additionally, by the end of the second year, almost all of the tread was worn out and the tires themselves started to rot. For this price, there are definitely better options available.

Excellent winter tread, never disappointed, drove 2500km after re-treading with 300km, no issues, holds the road well, even aggressively, the tire behaves predictably. Where other tires have 3 stars, these characteristics I didn't evaluate.

Excellent winter tire.
