Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV 255/50 R19 107R winter by Wiktor Krzysztof Kor ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

Ran my first Hakki kit for 10,000 km from November 2022 to April 2022. I used to have cars with all-wheel drive (SUVs, full cut automatically or up to 40 km, etc., etc.). I always chose the Japanese Bridgestone Blizzack Velcro, which had no complaints. Now a car with rear-wheel drive and hard-wired front (part-time). All my friends said that only spikes, especially rear-wheel drive, but looking at our winters and eternally open asphalt in Hong Kong Region and Hong Kong Region, I decided to purchase Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV 265/65 R17 116R. In general, I liked the rubber, judge for yourself what wear (photo attached). All winter I went on a rear-wheel drive, I tried full ice a couple of times, there were no problems. You need to move smoothly into the ice. In connection with the torque of 450, there, in principle, the spikes would slip when starting (by the way, if you sharply press the gas pedal on the go at 80 km per hour (for example, when overtaking sharply), then there were slips). But electronics rule it all. There was only one moment when in the ice in the yard I could not park on the rear wheel drive a little uphill, it was amused. But turning on the front axle immediately solved the problem.

Pros
  • Excellent handling on slush, on wet and dry pavement in the temperature range from -14 to +14 (Hong Kong and the region). Particularly liked handling on frozen dry pavement. On snow with infusion rides confidently. On the ice, I'm already turning on my brains. With a steady plus, I didn’t feel that softness that happened from other Velcro. The rubber is not noisy, the ride is soft, although the suspension is soft.
Cons
  • Until I discovered them. According to reviews, I expected very fast wear, but so far I have not noticed it. When changing rubber, we managed to look at several different representatives and find out that this rubber, compared to others, initially had a rather low tread. This will probably lead to a short service life in the future, we'll see.
