Tyre reviews Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV. Page 7 324

Excellent tire.

A bit noisy but hold the road well

Good tire, worth the price. Excellent road grip in winter, especially on ice, great handling. A bit noisy, but I guess any winter tire is noisy, you can get used to it quickly.

Hello, I won't write much, because having read the comments, I've once again convinced myself that the right decision was to buy the NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 8 SUV (studded tires)! The tire is excellent!! It has helped me out many times, I feel extremely confident on the road, on ice, on frost and in the slushy snow mix!!! There are no downsides!!! If I'm being picky, then it's...noise...

I bought these tires from Mosavtochina. They perform their claimed functions. Raced one season and sold with the car. After approximately 5000 km, one minor tread wear and a shallow cut on the sidewall. Would buy again if the price was significantly lower, given that these tires are made in Russia.

Maximum points in winter testing. Best braking and acceleration on ice. Braking distance from 25 km/h is 7.61 metres. Best result in acceleration on packed snow. In all other disciplines, within the top three.

Expectedly, the tires showed off well. The only minus - a rumble that appears at speeds above 70 km/h. Throughout the winter, there were no incidents of unpredictable behavior. Well resistant to lateral skidding when passing through circular intersections. Once, it was just short of 1 meter in distance when braking hard at 80 km/h with what I believe to be a safe distance, but thanks to ABS we managed to steer out of it. Good at digging snow, confidently brake on

The tires aren't bad. There is some noise, but the grip on the road at high speeds is good. But after four years of use, cracks appeared around each stud and a few studs (five per front wheel) fell off. I counted on a longer service life of the tires. Next year, I guess, will be the last one and they will need to be replaced.

Quite good, previous models not worse, high price, noisy, soft, balanced on 4-, durable. No alternatives for snowy winter, ice, poorly cleared yards and roads.

Everything's fine, but on dry asphalt when changing lanes at 80 km/h, the car just floats - probably still because it's a winter tire on studded snow tires.
