Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 185/65 R15 88R winter by Stanislaw Wawrzynowi ᠌

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 special restrictions on my repairing abilities. Even in the snow, it's not an issue. I casually walk out of the yard. The only moment I was scared was when I was driving in traffic at 20-30 km/h and started to slow down, but the car continued nonetheless. Any tire designed to handle friction would have responded the same way on the icy, porridgey coating. After 4 years of use, there should be around 5-6mm of tread left on the tire (the first 6,000 miles). Right now I'm picking out a replacement 225/45/17 tire, and I expect to stick with the same brand and model. because everything from well-known rivals is prohibitively expensive, and because it's nerve-wracking to try out new brands of tires. This tire has my full trust.
