Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2. Page 2 221

Excellent tires in terms of price-quality ratio. The premium feel is immediately noticeable as soon as you switch from mid-range tires.

The tire was good, on my second car I had yokohama ig60, compared to it the nokian rides more steadily on slippery surfaces. No complaints on braking and driving in deep snow, I'm pleased with the tire and I would recommend it.

Size 205 51 16. Excellent bead, soft and quiet. Handling until 100km/h and in any weather up to +4 - perfect. For winter and cities like Moscow - just right.

Overall, the price-performance ratio is quite satisfactory. However, the lifespan is not that long; I cannot give a more complete and accurate review.

Size: 195/60 R15 Service life: two seasons. 4WD I drive little, but often far. Asphalt and dirt roads. Showed themselves well. Including, on the second season. In loose snow, there are no problems. Black ice rides. Sideways in a skid are predictable. Fresh, thawed after the summer snow holds. Not confidently. May be a bit of a slip. But holds. Better than average relative to other tires. Soft. Do not

Good tyre from Finnish manufacturer, drove on such for three years on my personal vehicle, no complaints then or now. Best sticky opinion.

I wouldn't regret the purchase of the expensive tires! Drove in the city on dry, snowy roads and on mud very well! Only slipped on ice in the courtyards, but never had to pull me out of anywhere - pulled out from everywhere! I recommend!

Good tire if you don't drive like a maniac:
anticipate braking before sharp corners;
quiet;
urban mode - excellent;
on the highway - good, if you don't drive like a plane (100-120 km/h is normal)

Best of the non-studded tires.
Stable performance throughout the lifetime.
The tires have been bought as a replacement for the Nokias RSI, which was successfully sold after 9 (nine) winters (around 90,000 km) of use.
I expect the same quality from R2.
As an explanation I rate 4 stars for handling on wet ice. ( studs are still better in this class )

A bit sluggish in warm weather, floats in a turn on the asphalt, it seems, but this is only a feeling from the soft rubber. But immediately better in frost. And by the way, it handles perfectly on snow (not on mush) just like on ice (for siping).
