Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8. Page 8 685

Surprisingly: Top model doesn't behave top-notch on the ice, slips! Didn't go to extremes, but a slight skid and drift are present. True, the electronics don't allow you to feel the degree of them. On the loose snow - pure pleasure! On asphalt - excellent, but noisy. Knocking and clattering. True, braking is fine. Both on the ice and on asphalt! Including on wet. The studs are all intact after two winters. And the tread is

I had the BFGoodrich G-force stud on before these, and compared to that, the Hakka 8 is lighter, but the sidewall is softer, so you have to enter the corners a bit slower. In general, they are good tyres, but the increased number of studs on hard, smooth roads makes the car slippery, unresponsive to steering, and susceptible to oversteer.

Behind the wheel for 15 years, driven on tires from various brands, but Nokian only delights. The summer Nokian Hakkapeliitta 3 holds wonderfully in the rain and in the turns. The Hakkapeliitta 8 is an excellent choice for winter in all respects. Finally satisfied with the grip in the winter.

All-season tire, excellent on snow and ice, but there are two gigantic minuses. It is awfully noisy and unreasonably expensive. And it is made in Russia. I bought Continental's cheaper version for my wife and was pleasantly surprised. It is half as noisy and performed great in the snow and on ice. I will never buy Hakkapeliitta again!

It so happened that I now have two sets of new Hakkapeliitta tires - one "made in Russia", the other Finland. To put it briefly, I ordered a friend in Finland (he couldn't take it out of the country for a long time), and when he finally managed to bring it to me, a snowstorm broke out in Murmansk, and I bought the Russian-made one. To my bad luck, four Finnish wheels arrived the next day, and I couldn't reach

Bought and was disappointed... Spent such a lot of money on it, and it's as loud as a plane. And as for comfort, I had expected more. It's not as soft as the Gislaved Nord Frost 5 (small bumps were hardly felt at all), much noisier, and more expensive.

Who writes this, tire g., spit in his face! Standing on the Volga 105, mileage is at least 1500 per week (track-city). Not a single tire has blown out the entire season! Yes, there were some broken ones, but 3-4 on the wheel, and that was due to gravel. Wear on the fronts is minimal, leading to a 6, but I drive 6-7000 per month. Expensive? Life is more expensive!

Excellent traction, confident performance on ice, good directional stability even in a rut, better in the city, slightly worse on the highway. But I noticed that on the driven wheels, almost half of the studs are missing, and this after a ridiculously short mileage of less than 5,000 km, even though I drive very calmly. This has never happened with my previous tires (Hakkapeliitta 7, Michelin). I will swap the studs to the non-driven wheels, add another

Blown-out tread - broken carbide blade, 10% such tread failures at 2000 km, tread and blade fragments won't fall off even at speed index overrun, the core is acceptable, directional stability is poor.

On a dry road it's no problem, on snow it's barely passable, I'm eagerly waiting for summer to get rid of it!!! And also, they could have quoted 20,000 roubles per wheel from the very beginning, what a waste of time!!! The price is absolutely unreasonable! A complete mismatch between price and quality!!!!!!!
