Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 178

The quality of the tire is total rubbish, after just one winter and all four wheels are now worn out from all the circular driving. The same goes for the summer tyre. The manufacturer is Vsevolzhsk! For such money to sell such a bad product is a total scandal!!!????

I've had Continental IceContact B2, Hakkapeliitta 7-8, and similar problems aren't new to me, but the durability of this tire is just a nightmare.
I'm already regretting purchasing it, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
It won't last more than two seasons, even with moderate use.
And, as I later found out, tire tread loss is not covered by extended warranty!!! You'd

After Hakkapeliitta 5. Put Hakkapeliitta 9 on Fede, 195/65/15. The first thing that hits you, and more precisely, your ears, is the low noise level compared to the 5th Hakkapeliitta... After one winter, I can say that the Hakkapeliitta 9 performs well on both dry and wet asphalt, as well as on snow and slush. The tire features two types of studs, which may play

The Hakkapeliitta 9 in size 185/65 R15 suited me better, as it behaves in our region of Vorkuta, than the Hakkapeliitta 8 on which I drove for three seasons.
The strong points of Hakkapeliitta 9: frost, snow, ice.
Moderately noisy, plus the side wall on the 8,9 models is reinforced. Maybe someone won't like it, as it may behave differently in various sizes

From the start to 500-600 km, it was extremely loud, howling. Now it has become significantly quieter, and no longer causes discomfort. I associate this with a greater number of studs. After the break-in period, the metallic hub retaining the stud became slightly rounded, and it became less loud afterwards. The main expectation from the tires was met - it holds the road very tightly, whether it's ice, snow, or wet asphalt. I really missed this on my previous Sava

I took Nokian 9 on Enon, honestly I expected more from it, before that Miska was also on studded tires and not very good either. At the moment, I have not tried the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic and it's better. All this tire was on my wife's car, which she drives every day with children... and that's it, I'll buy Goodyear again.

Better than the 7 model, additional studs were added, it's softer, I've only driven it a little, we'll see how it handles in the wet spring mess, so far everything is fine.

Spent a season on the road. Ice, snow, asphalt - magnificent tire. Confident on any road, moderate noise. Not a single stud blown off from all wheels. Very happy.

Compared to the studded Mishelin, it's a bit noisy. It holds the road well, with excellent braking on snow. Braking on dry asphalt is not very good. At the moment, in my opinion, this is one of the best winter tires on our market.

They handle icy roads perfectly. Once on the highway, we only noticed a layer of ice on the asphalt when we stopped, and before that, I was sure we were driving on clean asphalt, the grip on the road was ideal. The first set lasted 4 seasons, and this year I bought a new one.
