The 14-inch Nokian hakkapeliitta 8 rubber was the best on full ice (particularly asphalt), but it is no longer available. They looked for it, spent too much for it, and finally acquired it. Since Nokian Tires Nordman 8 (an exact clone of the premium hakkapeliitta 8) debuted in contests last year, it has performed as well as the original. There have been many worthy types of rubber used by the community (vk. Com/beDRIFTcup) over the years. The food chain begins and ends with this one. Everything is beautiful, especially the hakka 8 on my military vehicle and the Norman (not a Zhiguli; 16 inches) on my civilian car. The typical weather in Hong Kong.
