Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 Winter 235/45R17 97T XL Passenger Tire

I bought the Hakkapeliita 2 instead of the 3 but the tread is almost exact. They handle the snow very well, i also bought the road hazard warranty which i had to use. I have never had such an easy transaction, the rep that handled this matter was Faith, there was NO issue what so ever. I called and had a new 1 in a few days. Simple tire definitely does what they say. Thanks again Faith.

Great winter tires. Driving in mid-Michigan, between two small cities with semi-rural country in the middle. City streets are usually plowed and salted, but the county road in between sometimes has hard-packed snow. Weather is usually between 0 and 20F, but occasionally in the 30-40F range, just long enough to create water puddles. These tires have performed well in all those conditions: dry (bare, salted pavement), hard-packed snow, and wet. Acceleration, turning, and braking all feel crisp and confident in all conditions. Have not yet driven at highway speeds. My top speed has been 55 mph on county roads. Have only owned for 2 months, so cannot comment on treadwear.
