Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV 215/55 R18 99T winter by Dimitar Mitev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

The Land Cruiser 200 Automatic. For an SUV, you'll need tires measuring 285/60 R18. The cold pressure is 2.3%. Since I rode Hakku 8 in the same car last season, she will serve as a benchmark (Hakki 5 and 7 also rode automobiles, so this is not a fair comparison). I put up close to 20,000 kilometers between October and April. I took it easy on the tires for the first two kilometers. Avoiding jerky motion during the beginning of acceleration, deceleration, and cornering. across a distance of one thousand. After rotating and rebalancing the tires (and then changing them again every 5,000 kilometers), we finished the season with only one missing spike across all four wheels. However, I managed to keep my cool. When I was halfway through removing my shoes, I noticed it crawling out and yanked it out. The tire was superior to 8ku in maneuverability and stopping power. The tire's rutting isn't a problem (with a few exceptions). More on that below) Hakki 9's braking performance on snow porridge wowed us especially, as 8ka refused to slow down on it at all, even at safe city speeds, and continually cracked the ABS. Now this from 9ki is pure bliss. My three-ton monster rides smoothly and stops promptly. You can tell that 9ka is more resistant to being blown away by wind in ice corners because it clings to new side spikes. The tire is tolerably regulated at positive temperatures (I rode at +15+20) and slows down on asphalt at speeds of 120-130 km/h. When shopping for studded tires, I never consider the level of noise they produce. Now we'll look at the drawbacks. Only two or three of them exist. The Hakki 9 has lower patency than the 8ki. There is detail in her speech. The front tire rows well in any direction and on any surface, whereas the back tire is hesitant to escape the icy rut. The tires skid when parking in reverse, making it impossible to ascend a slick curb or escape a rut. Even with four-wheel drive, you'll need to make adjustments. The tires also have a slight "walk" on freshly swept asphalt, which is a minor inconvenience. Must take the helm. I got married without any of the usual "cracking of the rubber" that can occur. It's all good now. Despite the fact that they claim to have replaced the tires under warranty in the Nokian "FBontakte" group. In conclusion, the Hakku 9 is an excellent choice. Excellent tire

Pros
  • Superior traction and stopping power for the snow and ice of winter driving; strong control and stopping power in both dry and rainy conditions; not stuck in a rut comparatively peaceful; solid, cushioned spikes for landing
Cons
  • Cross-country performance falls short of expectations, only works okay on dry pavement, costs too much, and has a manufacturing flaw (cracked rubber).
