Nokian Hakkapeliitta R Reviews

Given 83% (breakdown) while driving a Subaru 2011 Impreza WRX STI (245-40-18-)
Driving on mostly town for 6,000 spirited miles

Just bought these tires and installed them on a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we have about a 60/40 mix of snowy conditions and dry sunny winter weather because of our geographic location (we get Chinooks!). The last snow storm brought 10cm of snow and I was loving it! Grip is phenomenal! Handling is alright but this is a dedicated winter tire not performance based. Comfort is really good and noise level is good as well. Cannot speak of trend life thus far but will update perhaps next year. Was going to buy Alpine PA3's but decided on dedicated winters and it was the right choice for me. I can still drive my STI fast in straights with insane grip on ice and snow but do have to take it easier on fast cornering. However, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make for ultimate winter confidence.

Driving on mostly country roads for 8,000 spirited miles

Smooth, quiet, and even make a difference to my mileage - 4.9L/100km compared to summer Vredestein tyres with 5.6L - 5.9L.

Fantastic in snow, good on ice for pigfritt tyres and a generally great winter tyre.

I have been useing these winter tyres for a few years now and I have never experienced any problems with them. They give excellent grip in snow, they are very directional so there is no problem with steering and brakeing is also very good.
