Review on Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV 235/50 R18 101T Winter by Edyta Grober-Wytryko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

FW Tiguan. The MICHELIN X-Ice North 2 235/55 R17 from the previous winter. Little noisy. In conditions of light snow, normal (even exceptional) conditions exist. Ice beneath the snow will cause your vehicle to spin out of control; your electronic aides will continue to function normally, but the fact remains that you will need to reduce your speed to that of a snail. It's not good when there are snowdrifts in the yard. This winter Hakkapeliitta 9 225/65 R17. Great. It is easy to control and rides nicely. While rushing over snowdrifts (as far as it is possible with disabled esp for a crossover), in the snow. However, on the pavement, after the snow has melted, the noise or rumble (as someone will call it) is significant, and it creates acoustic discomfort. Despite the fact that the Tiguan from the factory will be better for sound insulation than many SUVs (if compared with the KIA Sportage, for example), this is one area where the Tiguan falls short. If it weren't for the noise, these tires would be ideal for the winter.

Pros
  • Ability to go across rough terrain, as well as handling and directional stability
Cons
  • The din of the street below
