I drove the Hakkapelita 2 for 13 years, no problems, I thought I’d buy a Hakkapelita 9 that would be better, but it was not the case, I caught a few potholes, there weren’t any significant impacts, but on the tank on the front wheels, and this was at a pressure of 2.1 bar. Its grip when turning on a snowy road is also not great, several times it almost turned around, fortunately the engine is high-torque. On Hakkapelita 2 in a snowfall at a traffic speed of 40 km/h, I drove calmly 100+. It’s scary to even think about it! The only plus is the studs, it brakes well on ice. More or less quiet, soft, brakes well on ice Weak tires for OUR roads. Doesn't hold turns well. They have an extended warranty, under which the tires would be replaced, but alas, I did not buy them from an authorized service center.

Studded tyres from the Hakkapeliitta line from the Finnish brand Nokian are rightfully considered one of the best solutions for driving on snowy or unpaved winter roads. The ninth generation of the series has been “finished” almost to a technological perfect and provides stability on a slippery roadway, comparable to that of summer tyres when driving on dry asphalt.
Various spikes
The secret of the tyre's tenacity for icy surfaces lies in the use of the spirit of the types of studs: “the claws in the central part of the tread are responsible for longitudinal grip, and in the shoulder areas for transverse grip. Simply put, the spikes in the centre improve acceleration and braking performance, and on the sides they keep the car on the road in corners. At the same time, the special shape of the studs minimizes the risk of losing them on difficult road sections.
Confidence on the road
The central part of the directional tyre tread pattern is formed by two rows of blocks. Some of them are connected to the central rib, while others are located a little to the side, which forms a complex geometry of channels for more efficient removal of water and melted snow from the contact patch. Snow Grip Boosters and Deep Grip Boosters also give you confidence in the snow.
Reinforced sidewalls
The sides of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 are reinforced with aramid fibers. Their use allows you to overcome various obstacles (for example, curbs) without fear of cutting the tyre and without the risk of bumps appearing on it. Wear indicators are given special attention: a snowflake symbol and a set of numbers 8, 6 and 4, which are erased as the tyre wears to the appropriate tread depth (in millimetres). Such a rich load of progressive technologies is slightly overshadowed only by the high cost of the tyre, but this is forgivable among the best representatives of winter tyres.
