Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8. Page 9 685

Great! Used season from A to Z, handling on any surface is super, snow is great, never got stuck, predicted ice handling and braking without any surprises, water is no issue. Speed from 90-200, no loss of handling, highest cruise speed on a snowy road, no concerns whatsoever. Mileage is 9,000 km, no signs of wear, one stud came off the front wheel, my fault. Made in Russia, balanced immediately after assembly, never balanced during the

I tried the 8 on an icy road and I can say it’s possible to drive at 70 km/h. But braking is zero, it immediately engages the ABS and the car is dragged at the same speed. The studs don’t work on ice, no matter how they’re promoted. And on a snowy, groomed road, it doesn’t brake either, the chip doesn’t do its job. I didn’t check the tread, but in the drifts it’s like a tank and

I just have to say that you can't take this tire at all on rough roads. It doesn't brake at all, just like it doesn't brake and doesn't respond to the steering wheel, and you can't get it to go fast or it starts to slide in all directions and it's hard to control where it's going. On wet asphalt there's no price for this tire, I'm driving at 110 km/h and it's super. We haven't had any snow yet,

Hi everyone, I had some reservations about buying Nokian for a while and finally made the purchase. The tyre is quiet, despite having a lot of studs. It's very comfortable up to 100 km/h. However, in icy conditions I found the handling to be a bit unstable during lane changes or overtakes at high speeds when in four-wheel drive mode! The rear-wheel drive and Michelin X-Ice North Xin2 handle much better. After 200 miles the brakes are absolutely terrible

Guys, the tire is crap!!!

Handling on dry surfaces is deplorable. Turning from 4th gear to 3rd, you might just end up in 1st gear. Better performance on wet asphalt. Just a bit of heavy snow, mixed feelings: holds the road relatively well, but slides around, though this is a characteristic of my Skoda Octavia. Drives normally in the snow.
Price-quality

The best winter tires I've ever had. 10 years old, and still in great condition, almost all the studs are in place, just a little cracked along the cord, probably will change them, but I'm sure I can still get 2-3 years out of them easily. On the highway, 180-200 km/h is easy. The steering response is excellent. I even did some drifting with them at an extreme driving school, and the instructor was impressed. Too bad you can't buy them for a reasonable price now - a set costs 60,000. Probably will consider Pirelli next. All the best!

Great tires, not a single stud has come off in three seasons. I recommend buying them.

Excellent tires. I recommend purchasing them. They perform well on ice, snow, and asphalt.

Handling on all types of coatings, good passability.
Number of studs
I've been driving since the beginning of winter 2021, all the studs are in place!

Wowww!!! Terrible. Changed to Hakkais 7, it's really quiet tires
