Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 205/55 R16 94R winter by Janis Skrindzevskis ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

I skated on a set with four seasons that was made in Finland. Currently, they solely offer 2022 production. For a very long time, I was skeptic, but I truly like the Finnish one. Ours is a little bit harsher; in fact, the rubber's color is different from the one from 2022. Given that the Nokians will be leaving in 2022, I made the decision to accept it. The cost is suffering. Before leaving, Nokian made the decision to have a nice boil. 70k for my r18. Overall though, it's a fantastic tire. On the pavement, behavior is quiet regulated, predictable, and summerlike. snow at five. On ice, there aren't any issues either. The only significant drawback is hydroplaning beyond 100 km/h. Even though the pattern appears to be the same, the 2022 one is significantly stronger. 3 times in 2 months, I nearly got swept off the road. I fly through any puddles because the other car has Michelin Velcro tires, and everything is good. On snow and ice, though, the Nokian rows better!

Pros
  • Excellent float in snow and people, decent handling, and quiet.
Cons
  • Cost and hydroplaning
