Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV. Page 1 116

Overall the tyres are comfortable to drive on and do a very good job of gripping the road, but on ice the heavy car with no studs will struggle to stay on the road. I have never driven the Disco on chains, but they might be a bit better on the ice. However, the weight of the car means they will probably just spin out quickly, so I think the R2 SUV is a good all round option.

I'm convinced not to believe articles about tyres in car magazines. Tires are quite good, they pick up snow like a pro, even after getting stuck on a rim, it got out. The perfect one for fishing. It holds well on packed snow, well with aquaplaning, in the rain and in a snowy, wet mess on the road, you drive confidently. On dry asphalt, it behaves like a regular sticky tyre. But its biggest minus is ice. It doesn't stop

The tire is still going strong after 3 seasons (bought in 2013) and in excellent condition. I have no complaints about the tire, everything is great. It holds the road perfectly, and on the highway on icy roads, I feel confident. I've never regretted choosing studs instead of studded tires. But I can't say what the experience would be like on a lighter and rear-wheel drive vehicle.

I got a great tire at a normal price for Patrick and took it for a season, I'm satisfied, especially on fields and meadows - even when I'm not doing anything, it's not even interesting. On the road I have to be careful with black ice, like any non-studded tire, it starts to activate ABS early. The size is 285-60-18 or 31.5 inches and it fits perfectly on the stock Patriot without any modifications or upgrades. Limited edition

Hello everyone. I'm satisfied with the tire, no regrets. It holds the road well.

The size is 225/65/17. No noise from the tread, comfortable, very soft.

No need to break it in like a treaded tire. I recommend.

The review is early, but the first impressions are in. There was all sorts of weather, from dry to blizzard and black ice.

On asphalt, the tires ride smoothly, the roll is indeed good if you monitor the pressure. They don't make much noise. The tire's joints pass softly, but it bucks on potholes. The tires themselves and the tread are very soft. You can't drive fast in turns. I even started driving slower. In the rain, they hold well, but they float in puddles. On snowy and icy roads, they ride confidently and don't skid. They accelerate and brake decently for this type of tire.

One minus, one tire required 100 grams.

I've driven around 30,000 km on these tires. They were purchased in December 2013, based on a 10,000 km per year calculation. In my opinion, they have used up half of their lifespan. A disbalance appeared in the third year of life. The tire shop said there is an inner bulge and a cord tear. That's the kind of lifespan they have. Two of them need to be replaced, and the other two may last a bit longer.

Not the first Nokian I've had on my car. The previous 8 seasons were R, R SUV tyres. They handle well on almost any road. I think the drift has slightly decreased compared to summer tyres, but it's probably logical. Noise isn't a concern. Quality-wise: I expected better - balance of left and right wheels from 0 to 75g without TPMS. Based on what I said, I think the price for Russian-made tyres should be at least

I bought it for the “intercity” fast drive, before that I drove a lot on the studded Hakkapeliitta7 and also an SUV. Of course, in a blizzard and ice the Scandinavian non-studded tire loses out to the studded analogs, but such weather isn’t as frequent as it has been in recent years. On the other hand, for fast movement of a heavy SUV on winter asphalt and all sorts of transitional seasons, it is just what I needed!

I didn't quite believe in "snow chains" till now, as I got this one new with the car and rode on it for almost the entire winter. As the car is heavy, it greatly helps with traction on snow, but it would get tangled in the road and slide off the road very unpredictably. I had to be very careful with the car, despite all its systems.

It runs fairly quietly on dry asphalt, but it is very loud on gravel (as
