Review on Nokian Tires Hakkapeliitta R3 205/55 R16 94R winter by Mateusz Roczon ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible purchase, only wasted money.

Buy nothing! Instead of R3, look for regular winter tires from another manufacturer. I only have one question for everyone who extols the virtues of this model: did they actually drive it, or did they merely read online advertisements for it? Below are some advantages: dignity in the shape of a Nokian nameplate on the tire's sidewall, letting people know that the rubber is not inexpensive. With an average mileage of 15-20 thousand kilometers per year, there may also be just moderate wear, sufficient for 3 or 4 seasons. Pros below: used throughout three seasons. Unless, of course, the remainder of this company's rubber versions are of regular grade, there is just one name from the Nokian brand. Prior to that, I used Hakapelita studded tires on two other machines; they functioned as a benchmark, but these Velcro. Never purchase this item from a well-known brand. At just over 40 km/h, it produces noise, and the tire fitters struggle to balance this rubber. The only wet surfaces this rubber will tolerate are rolled snow, wet snow porridge, and, God forbid, wet or wet asphalt. Pitchfork! The automobile is like a cow on ice; during the winter, the braking distance nearly turned me gray numerous times. And I don't even drive erratically in the snow, without abrupt accelerations or brakes. At that time, the maximum speed was 40 km/h, and as long as it slowed down before that, it did not rev. Sending the complete batch of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 right away for processing into rubber rugs or slippers or rubber swans made from tires in a flower bed is preferable because there is where they belong.
