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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

So. I put the rubber on in September; before that, I had Haka 8, which I had been searching for till I got my bald head R3; it's ideal; it's quiet; it's tenacious on asphalt; it handles like a sports car in the heat; it's super. Performs admirably from a cold start (front-wheel drive, mechanicals). Except for the brakes, everything is fine. What will happen in January, when actual winter sets in, fills me with dread. In sub-zero conditions, neither porridge nor slightly ice porridge nor even plain asphalt slows down rubber. Almost collided with the automobile in front of him several times. A few days ago, I was driving at approximately 50 km/h and suddenly had to jam on the brakes. A thick, partially frozen mush of dirt and snow covered it. I was able to catch up to the car since the braking distance was only 3/4 of a second. Remember this, and drive without applying the brakes suddenly.

Pros
  • 1) utterly silent Two, ideally on asphalt; three, porridge and snow in neat rows
Cons
  • Does not pause even for porridge (a play on the word "NO").
