Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 175/65 R14 82R winter by Janis Saikovskis ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I'm a little disappointed, not a good buy.

as soon as the wear of the rubber approaches half, change to a new one or risk not reaching your destination without incident. the explanation is obvious and simple, between the checkers on the edges of the rubber there is a side half the height of the new tread, and so this side becomes on a par with the main tread at 50% wear and begins to block the removal of water and snow from the contact patch. for this reason, once I taxied the wheel on the curb in a turn at a speed of 30 mph - the steering knuckle assembly, and the second time in a small 20-degree turn in wet porridge flew into the oncoming lane at 50 mph, fortunately empty. the second car had hack 7 with the same tread wear, on the same days I drove through the same mess and at much higher speeds - like on rails. So keep that in mind when choosing

Pros
  • Quiet, directional stability, good while new was in size 235/45/18 on a sedan
Cons
  • at 50% wear, it absolutely does not hold the road, does not remove water, and even more so snow porridge. no match hack 7
