Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta 9 175/65 R14 86T winter by Adam Kowalski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

If there is going to be a true winter, and if you frequently drive great distances via peripheral routes or, in extreme situations, to the country, or if you work in the city and reside in the region, then the purchase is absolutely justifiable! If you almost never leave the city, for example Hong Kong, where the streets are kept quite clean, then I believe that some kind of friction tire is better, in the sense that it is not studded. It's possible that I'll write a review after the fifth season; we'll just have to see how long it takes!

Pros
  • The handling on ice, in particular the braking and the entry into corners. Predictability regardless of the circumstances. It is likewise pointless to eat porridge if the bottom of the bowl is slippery. Solid lateral support. Holds spikes great! Someone in this thread mentioned that they fall out quite frequently; I'm just startled. If you correctly run in and after the 2t. re-balance km, of course you should not trot, and you should try to maintain a speed of less than minus 20 km/h during the summer, then there will be no losses. Since this is my third season behind the wheel, I believe that three spikes have been lost: two on one wheel, one on the other, and the other two wheels have not suffered any loss at all.
Cons
  • Harsh, I made sure to bring the sixty-first profile and several other disks for winter, but it doesn't feel any more comfortable than summer does. Naturally noisy, particularly when driven on dry pavement; the rumble at speeds of 90 km/h and above is intolerable; I even had to install an additional Shumkov. What do you want, 190 spikes on each wheel? This situation does not lend itself to miraculous occurrences. BUT these deficiencies are addressed when the actual winter begins for her, which is when she was developed. The rumble is barely audible, and the stiffness enables greater control over the porridge and the distribution of uneven coverage.
