Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta R. Page 7 242

I bought a RAV4 front-wheel drive car on these tires, almost new, last November. I somehow managed to get through the winter. The most pathetic thing is driving on snow, or rather, wheel spinning in place, when other front-wheel drive cars with normal studded tires are driving calmly and looking at me like I'm an idiot on summer tires in winter. There's no grip in principle, it's like driving on slicks. On ice and even worse - on wet ice, it's the same. I've never felt so helpless in winter. They handle well on wet cold asphalt. They're noisy and don't absorb small bumps at all. Don't waste your money on this crap, get normal studded tires with a developed transverse tread that will grip the snow.

Same problem as the first Soviet radial tires B.L.85 - the steel cord is slipping off. Technical defect.

I've been driving on these tires for the first winter and I can definitely say that these are the best tires I've ever had! If I need to stop, the car stops, if I need to turn, it turns. In terms of noise, they are quieter than my summer Bridgestones and softer too!

Great tires for the price.

High-performance tyre, with no downsides.

The tire is good, but the price is too high.

Excellent tires for a snowy winter!

Today, a lot of snow fell, many people were driving on the beaten track (where the asphalt is rolled out), and I overtook on the snowy mess. The car was moving smoothly and steadily, just like on dry asphalt. I'm not a specialist, and I've only been driving for a year, but I can say that the car responds adequately to steering wheel movements, so I'm satisfied with the tires.

Excellent tires

Wonderful tires, it's true there's nothing to compare them to, but on dry asphalt they're no worse than summer tires, they pull out of snowdrifts with ease, without getting stuck, no wheel spin, like a tank :-)) I drive into and out of turns on packed snow without any problems! IMHO, of the friction tires, this is the best option, and the others are still far behind, I repeat, IMHO!!!

Decent Winter tires

Above +5C starts to float in high-speed turns and rearrangements. In minus temperature, everything is fine, brakes confidently, starts briskly on any surface. The main advantage is passability in deep snow and handling on rolled snow. ABS almost doesn't bother with its clicking when braking. Noise level is at a decent level. It's worth noting the fuel efficiency (about 0.5 liters per 100 km). In general, the best among the

Excellent tire. Very satisfied.
