Pros
- 1) Fairly soft 2) Acoustically comfortable over the entire speed range up to 190 km. H. 3) Very tenacious for Velcro. 4)Cleans well when driving. 5) not afraid of ice, but you need to go with your head of course.
Cons
- So far not revealed.

Description of Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV 255/50 R19 107R winter
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV Scandinavian-type studless winter tire is designed specifically for SUVs. Grip on slippery surfaces is improved by the Cryo Crystal 3 concept, a central stiff rib gives stability at high speeds, and pump sipes reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
Heavy-duty aramid fibers added to the sidewall rubber compound provide exceptional wear and tear resistance in external impacts and obstacles.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV tires provide stability, comfort and increased reliability in operation.
The winter tire Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV, like the previous model, is designed for SUV class vehicles. The operational properties are selected taking into account the road and climatic conditions of the countries of Northern Europe and Russia. They are distinguished by reliable traction properties that remain at extremely low temperatures, increased cross-country ability in snow, fuel efficiency and reliability.
Reinforced sidewallsOne of the features of the tire is the reinforced sidewall construction. Their structure contains aramid fibers. They increase the rigidity and mechanical strength of the sidewalls. In addition, this solution further enhances directional stability during maneuvering and high-speed traffic.
Increased rib in the center The development of the tire was carried out in parallel with the model of the same name for passenger cars. One of the key differences from it is the increased size of the longitudinal rib located in the center of the tread. This decision is dictated by the increased weight and higher center of gravity of SUVs. The enlarged center rib has better resistance to deformation. This increases the stability of the coupling properties, and also facilitates the process of driving a car due to faster and more accurate reactions to the driver''s actions.
Several types of sipesWith no studs, the tire demonstrates confident behavior on icy surfaces. This is largely due to the use of several types of lamellae.
Slots are located in the shoulder zones, which are blocked in the open position in such a way that the mobility of the entire block as a whole is limited. As a result, in addition to the formation of numerous transverse edges, such sipes increase the stability of grip properties, especially during longitudinal accelerations on icy and wet surfaces.
In the central part there are lamellas with a slightly different functionality. These slots contain voids that trap and retain moisture from the road surface. As a result, the contact patch dries up, which improves grip on wet and icy surfaces.
Improved snow flotation The tire''s tread pattern contains numerous triangular grooves. Most of the part is located longitudinally next to and in the shoulder areas. These elements, when in contact with a snow-covered surface due to their shape and zigzag...

Pros
- Superb latex,
Cons
- No
Pros
- Changed shoes to R3 SUV 225/55R19 two weeks ago. One week operation on clean asphalt at -3/-10. Another week with heavy precipitation in the form of rain and snow, then the temperature drops to -18. There were no problems during operation: on clean asphalt on summer it is tenacious and soft, on an icy hill from the garage there is no slippage, on city porridge in snow everything is fine (tires are cleaned well), in the cold there were no problems either. To say that the rubber is noisy - the tongue will not turn, but it feels like Pirelli ice zero friction 225 / 45R19 (I drove them for 3 winters) is a little quieter on the pavement. However, Pirelli had problems on porridge and in ice.
Cons
- No deficiencies noted so far. In the process of further operation I will try to supplement the review.
Pros
- Quiet
Cons
- Expensive
Pros
- Excellent road holding. Doesn't make noise. Comfortable. Wear resistant. Good to steer. Economical. Goes great on snowdrifts. Holds well on ice.
Cons
- No
Pros
- Quiet enough, worthy of holding the road and a short braking distance.
Cons
- All good
Pros
- Excellent handling on slush, on wet and dry pavement in the temperature range from -14 to +14 (Hong Kong and the region). Particularly liked handling on frozen dry pavement. On snow with infusion rides confidently. On the ice, I'm already turning on my brains. With a steady plus, I didn’t feel that softness that happened from other Velcro. The rubber is not noisy, the ride is soft, although the suspension is soft.
Cons
- Until I discovered them. According to reviews, I expected very fast wear, but so far I have not noticed it. When changing rubber, we managed to look at several different representatives and find out that this rubber, compared to others, initially had a rather low tread. This will probably lead to a short service life in the future, we'll see.
Pros
- Holds the road well, accelerates well. Having run in, it became even quieter, the pulsating howl almost disappeared. On any asphalt rides just fine, like summer.
Cons
- Behavior on slippery surfaces is just terrible. The car pulls out of the turn, the brakes on ice and snow-covered asphalt are simply non-existent. Everyone was waiting for the end of the season, but after today the car dropped from 75 km / h to 50 km / h with the brake pedal fully depressed for 300 meters, I was convinced that it was necessary to sell rubber. After such rubber, you begin to want spikes. The first winter in 12 years when I regret the lack of spikes. Although how would they help on asphalt powdered with snow? In general, tires are just terrible in difficult weather conditions. Moreover, very strange behavior, I went in the snow at -5 and everything seemed to be fine. Today is about 0, no brakes. In the turn, he began to add gas and the all-wheel drive Tiguan slid outward with all 4 wheels. All in all, a complete nightmare.
Pros
- Silence and grip on dry pavement
Cons
- All the rest
Cons
- Terrible rubber - does not hold turns on dry and wet pavement, keeps a monstrous straight line even on a good track at speed, slows down badly in the same modes. On ice, it is no better than European winter tires for euro winters.
Pros
- 1. Soft. Swallows joints, uneven roads. 2. Very light (competitors are heavier). 3. All snow disciplines for 5-ku. 4. Asphalt wet and dry - everything is good and predictable. I drove the r2 suv for a whole year (including summer), I didn’t notice any inconvenience in terms of wear or aquaplaning, including plus 30. On. R3 suv all the same.
Cons
- 1. Darling. 2. It makes a little noise (such a small rumble), but it does not bother. 3. Average wear.
Pros
- Handling, noise and comfort almost like summer tires. On ice, they are not much inferior to studded ones.
Cons
- Probably just the price.
