Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 185/65 R15 88R winter Review

Amazing tire! Excellent traction for use during the winter. Following the spikes is an amazing experience. In addition to that, it has a lot of power and torque and has a rear-wheel drive configuration. Even though the dead man believes that we will slip, you start moving uphill on the snow and ice porridge. It is not necessary to use anti-slip treatment if you are going to be passing on a highway that has been frozen over. Full joy.

On dry pavement, the handling is superb, the tires are quieter and softer than summer Pirelli with RFT, and the vehicle has outstanding traction. I have not yet tested it on snow. On wet roads, the car has a tendency to float a little, pull a little to the side, and there is a rumbling beyond 70 kilometers per hour, which I did not like.

Got advantages: Compared to the preceding R2, the tires provide higher snow traction. They also demonstrated their stability on the ice. Pros below: Although the spikes are superior, they fly out on freshly laid asphalt. In the city, spikes are not necessary.

The prior tires were Nokia Hakapelita R2s from an older generation, and I drove them all throughout Hong Kong in both the winter and summer seasons for a total of four years before deciding not to replace them even though they were completely worn out. Before winter arrived, I made the decision to acquire new ones, and I wound up with these. I scheduled it for the beginning of October, when the climate was more stable and the temperature was at least seven degrees cooler than normal. It is now…

So. I installed the rubber in September, and before that, there was Haka 8, which was the tire I was looking for up till I got my bald head R3 - excellent silent and tenacious on asphalt, just fantastic grip and handling like sports tires in the summer. Front-wheel drive, manual starting mechanism; excellent performance on both ice and snow. Everything works quite well, with the exception of the brakes. I shudder to think about what might take place in January, when the harshest part of winter…

I believe that it would be perfect for a quiet ride during the winter in Europe; nevertheless, a journey to the forest on this rubber would not be possible. The Chinese Maxxis SS-01 did indeed have a more certain feeling. With its positives being: Excellent, soft and silent. On the Nissan X-Trail there is a shoe. On the racetrack, it maintains a superb grip on the road, even while passing other vehicles; you can drive right through a spike without ever feeling it. Got cons: The use of stress…

Uneven and defective tires. Produced in the year 2022's factory. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known it was created in 2022; their products are notoriously unstable.

I got a new pair of these great tires, size 245/40r19, to put on my factory BMW 786m rims, but I quickly realized my mistake. For three months of use on the Hong Kong Ring Road and its vicinity with brand new tires, including three cuts on each side, in entirely safe craters. One more simply didn't bother fixing it and ditched it. The BMW 530dx's handling is appalling in their hands. The car's unpredictable conduct led me to lose faith in it. One good snowball and you'll wither and die. The…

Glad with the tire. The BMW 320g20 I was driving for around 500 kilometers. What are the benefits? Very quiet and stable (even in the snow). The "drift" will be appreciated by those with rear-wheel drive vehicles. Control is compromised only by light loose snow, ice, or when the road is already tightly rolled. But this makes sense; spikes don't. The negatives are: When driven at high speeds (150-180 km/h) in temperatures of +5, +10, the vehicle exhibits erratic behavior and floats…

Purchased for Citroen C4, they provided reliable service all winter long (The monster winter of 2022-2022 will be remembered as the most "icy" and "uncleaned" winter in St. Petersburg). They did well on ice and asphalt alike.

First-time reviewer here. Purchased for a 2018 Kia Ceed JD, measuring 205/55/16. The tires performed flawlessly for four years. I am a regular commuter and weekend road tripper. My in-laws were amazed that I could make it into town with only a 15cm clearance. I went airborne in the city and on the highway, landing in holes that required disk leveling and, at the very least, henna for the tires. The ice is stable and predictable on the track. I can drive 14 mph with ease and don't put any…

You should get a new set of tires if the tread on your current ones is more than half worn. The reason for this is straightforward: at 50% tread wear, the side between the checkers on the rubber's edges is the same height as the main tread, preventing the removal of water and snow from the contact patch. That's why I flew into the oncoming lane at 50 miles per hour (thankfully empty) the second time I made a tiny 20-degree turn in wet porridge, and once when I taxied the wheel on the kerb at 30

I used to skate on a four-season set from Finland. Only stock made in 2022 is currently on sale. Despite my initial skepticism, I eventually came to appreciate the Finnish version. Ours is slightly more robust than the 2022 version, which is noticeable down to the rubber's color. With the Nokians departing the 2022, I figured it was a good opportunity and took it. Pain comes at a high cost. Before leaving, Nokian had a nice long boil. 70 thousand on my r18. In any case, the tire is excellent…

In the midst of a late-autumn storm, I decided to change the tires. Even in extreme conditions, such as when the road is icy, the rubber maintains a firm grip. Both the city and the motorway have remarkably low noise levels, which is great.

has benefits Enough howling at speeds exceeding 80 km/h, but otherwise quiet. Quite at ease on the pavement, it appeared that the acceleration is more sluggish because of how soft it is. Several drawbacks R18 is unbalanced when mounted on brand-new wheels. Each disk had weights weighing between 65 and 90 g suspended from them, and the rubber was rotated 180 degrees in relation to the disks.

Its pros: The protector has been significantly redesigned in relation to previous models. Let's see how these innovations affect practical driving. Not a heavy tire. Its cons: The price is average + and the availability of 2022 tires from some suppliers.
