Latest Tyre Test Results

2022 Studded Winter Tyre Test - 1st of 8 tyres

  • Positive - Best grip on ice and snow, good cornering grip on all surfaces.
  • Negative - Aquaplaning, braking on wet roads, road noise.
  • Overall - It will be a shared test victory for the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV. As usual with Nokian, it achieves top marks on ice and snow, with the very best cornering grip of the test. It is quick to react and has great driving pleasure on winter roads, but the slight oversteer balance becomes wildest under pressure if you already have a car that changes direction nimbly. On asphalt, the Nokian passes the evasive maneuver tests gallantly with quick steering response and still manages to curb the risk of rollback.

    The minuses are a somewhat non-linear steering feel, clear road noise and relatively early hydroplaning.

    The Nokian is the choice for those who are looking for the best possible winter grip and appreciate the willingness to turn with alert reactions to the driver's input.

    Latest Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV Reviews

    Given 80% while driving a Mercury Grand marquis (235/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
    Whily noisy because of the studs, it's a low pitch that you can easily tune out. I found the tires to be, for an extreme snow tire, excellent in the dry, and good in the wet. I also found that I had good control in slush. In normal turning, the tire can feel a bit vague due to sidewall flex, however under heavier corners I can feel the tire "sit" over the sidewall, and it becomes very stout. In a RWD car (with an aftermarket LSD), I never got stuck this winter, even living on a dirt road with an uphill driveway. I've driven about 3,000 miles on the tires in a quite warm winter (mostly between 20 and 40 degrees fahrenheit), and they look just about new as of now. I've hit some notable potholes and the tires did not pop or bubble, which pleased me. Despite being a sedan, I figured the SUV tire was a good fit due to the body roll, and weight capacity, and this has proven true. Overall, an extremely safe, durable tire, with impressive snow and ice traction. I will be purchasing these again, or their successors in a few years time.

    Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Caravelle (215/70 R16) on mostly country roads for 12,400 average miles
    I have the hakkapelitta 10 on my 2014 VW Caravelle (only front wheel drive) as a dedicatet winter tyre. Here in northern Norway the roads are covered with hard packed snow and ice for almost 5 months of the year. Occasionally we get a change in the weather pattern and it dumps a lot of rain on the icy roads.

    After two winters i can now say that the hakkapelitta 10 is the best option for those extrem conditions. They grip well on the slippery surfaces in high speeds and loose traction in a slow and controlled manner. Before, i lived in the southern parts of Norway, where i had the hakkapelitta R8, which is a non studded winter tyre. It felt like that the non studded winter tyre was better in digging itself throug deep snow and it was quieter when cornering, but that where the only advantages of the non studded winter tyre to the hakkapelitta 10.

    It is hard to judge how the treadwear is after now 20.000km of winter driving. The tyres get only driven on mostly hard packed snowy and icy country roads and in the town. There is not that much driving on bare asphalt in the winter months, so the rubber of the tyres almost doesn`t wear at all. Like 1mm after two winters. And the studs are still all there, still looking like new. Here in the nordics we usually buy new winter tyres when the old ones get so old that the rubber hardens. The last studded winter tyres i had to change had still 6mm of depth in the profile and all the studs where still there, but they were 8 years old which hade made the rubber hard.
