Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV 225/60 R18 104R winter by Ewa Rozbicka ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

Despite the fact that I put 8000 kilometers on my all-wheel drive Crete (215/60 R17), the number 8 did not wear off the indicator dials over the two seasons I owned it. My experience has been that it is incredibly calm here, even more so than the typical summer in Neksen. There are no issues encountered with braking or starting on any surface, with the exception of ice. But ice is also distinct in its own way. There are no issues with starting, but the braking distance is simply enormous, even for yard speeds, and the ABS acts extremely early on Crete. It snows and pours for the better part of the night, and the entire car is covered with a layer of ice. There is only a skating rink and bare ice in the yard. However, under such severe conditions, the spikes act in a manner that is quite comparable: the ABS fails, and the vehicle rolls forward. If you drive at the same speed as the stream throughout the winter and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, you won't slow down any more than the other drivers, and you'll have plenty of time to come to a halt if necessary. If you flew faster than everyone else and were suddenly required to stop, then everything will be determined by the coverage on the road. I have decided to switch R3 to Conti Viking 7 for the upcoming season, mainly for the purpose of comparison and to satisfy my natural curiosity.
