Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta R. Page 5 242

Excellent tire for real winter, everyone is satisfied!
In frost, the tire reveals all its trump cards, confidently and safely on any surfaces. I used to drive on NordFrost3 with studs, Hakkapeliitta R is subjectively and unequivocally better, it's a step forward for purely winter tires!
Pros: Quiet, soft, economical, safe
Cons: Sluggish on dry and wet at positive temperatures

super when t is -1 and below
On snow, excellent, on ice, solid 4, on dry asphalt at plus, it drifts a bit (slowed reactions to the steering wheel), on a wet road, brakes 3+ and careful with sharp maneuvers. In general, like a winter 4+, for TOYOTA LC 200.
Pros: snow
Cons: wet asphalt

A good winter tire, NOISELESS and comfortable

There's nothing to compare it to, the first winter tire I've ever bought. First impressions, on dry asphalt it skids a bit when braking and accelerating quickly compared to summer tires. But even in wet weather, you can already see its advantages. Pleasant to drive, absolutely noiseless, comfortable. There haven't been any severe frosts yet, but on a thin layer of ice, it behaves predictably, I wouldn't say

I'm not exactly thrilled...

Before I got the new Grandis, I read reviews about this tire right here... The salespeople in the store all said that the tire is GOOD. Indeed, it's completely noiseless!, with a good ride!, in positive temperatures it doesn't behave entirely confidently, but it's not designed for that, especially since it's currently +10 outside... But when I hit frozen puddles during a freeze, I have to say that I couldn't call

Good quality tires, I think they won't let me down

I can't describe my feelings about the tires in detail, as this is the first winter tires I've been driving on...Of course, after the summer Michelin Energy, I immediately felt that the braking distance increased, not the same agility, but that's understandable, it's not summer tires...we haven't had snow in our city yet, only zero degrees Celsius has been established. On wet asphalt and in mud, the

Excellent tires!
I've driven 3000 km on these tires in dry weather, slush, and heavy snowfall - just super! I've also tried them in a skid, no extra movement, the car goes in a clearly defined direction! Very pleased! I recommend them to all my acquaintances!
Pros: stable and not noisy
Cons: haven't noticed any yet

Normal tire

Winter tire will not behave like a summer one and this should always be remembered and not expect super performance. About comfort and noise, I can say the following - it's not as quiet and comfortable. The tire really creates HUM on asphalt and snow, and softness, although better than summer, is far from ideal. Regarding the main indicators, snow, slush behaves predictably, helped by stabilization and anti-skid systems. On dry asphalt, of course, it's

Not very, very bad.

Last year I drove on Nokian W - remained dissatisfied, this year I installed R-tyres - super! Snow, dirt, ice - excellent. I went on a business trip, the highway was rainy turning into ice, 80 - good, 100 - good, and up to 120-130 stable!!! The only problem is +7-10 and a wet road, too soft, I was just lucky that on Borysp

Very good

I had the opportunity to test them during a trip from Kyiv to the Carpathians and back, when it was snowing all the time, and the road surface changed from 5-centimeter slush to compacted snow and ice. The impression remained only positive: the tires allowed driving at an average speed of 100 km/h (when other cars were moving at 50-60), during overtaking and accordingly driving onto unrolled sections, the car remained completely controlled

Not a bad tire, but for this money, I want a more complete purchase. I rode on Michelin Alpin - on slippery surfaces, more predictable actions.
Behaves poorly on rolled snow, braking is also not impressive. But on loose snow, slush - super. I stormed the fields - perfectly grips the ground. I liked it more out of town, although they write that it's a city tire.
Pros: Ideal behavior on unrolled snow.
Cons
