@@joepearlzz8504 Hi, I don't understand what you mean. The most difficult to get a grip on is ice close to 0 degrees C. Deep snow is more up to your cars abilities, do you have 4 x 4 etc. I have never had any problem in deep snow. Military driving training for snow and desert helps.
This winter in the Nordics has shown the value of studded tires: when your maneuvering in icy ruts supposed to be roads in Nordic capitals (only) studded tires deliver
Cool testing, and of course studded tires offer the best traction. Would be nice to see consumption comparison too between the tires... Personally I'll never go back to studded just because of comfort and nice feeling that i'm not "grinding" road surface so much. Anyway you will drive most of the time on snow or dry/wet tarmac. Super slippery ice is not very usual and if that happens you go more slowly.
@@p1u well I live in Finland and easter part. So roads are mostly snow covered or salted and dry tarmac. Of course people are so stupid that many drive same spot in the road and make deep grooves. Had studded tires many years but when changed to studless notice how good they are and now will never get studded again.
@@santtu9169 I think it also boils down to people trusting the studs more, so they push the limits more and end up losing traction more foten than with studless.
@@santtu9169 Especially during the first winter, but as the rubber gets harder it keeps losing grip. Of course they don't do testing with 2-5 year old tyres, but it's pretty obvious that studded tyres keep their grip on ice a bit longer.
Looking at the display on the screen, it’s clear that the screen indicates which wheels are braking for stability control. Of course braking individual wheels for the stability control system will also cause loss of traction, so the same reasoning could be applied, but when going sideways, all tires are sliding but not all are red, which clearly indicates individual wheel braking for the system
I got the Snowproof P as winter tires for my model 3P in switzerland, and they heve doe a good job until now even on swiss mountain and snow roads, 2 winters in , 30'000km this season we had a lot of dry roads and went to a roadtrip to portugal with temperatures aroud 10 at night and 20°c ins spanish and portuguease roads , and the wear is ptretty good, jus reach now the 4mm snow mark.
The only right tyre for winter is s proper studded tyre. There should be 0 compromises in safety when it comes to driving and especially in icy and snowy conditions
I've been driving with studdless tires from 1998 (in Center Finland). I've not been blocking traffic and I've not had accidents and I do 15 to 25000 km in year. Safe driving is just adjusting your driving to conditions and that is something most people cannot for some reason do.
@@hequsn His facts are straight. Even though Nokian is headquatered in Finland they have plants in both Russia, Finland and the US.

Hi do you recommend HAKKAPELIITTA R5 on Tesla Model Y ? I live in Vancouver, CANADA and we are getting lots of snow these past couple of winters. Thanks
Hear it right. "Optimized for summer and winter conditions" means compromising both, but especially winter safety. If you drive on white, choose right.
Like he said not recommended for Nordic conditions but in U.K. and other countries where conditions are not as cold or icy generally wet - these all season tyres are perfect
yeah but a lot of crazy people want to put the strictly winter tires on when its sort of cold but dry... then they get really shitty performance especially braking distance... its like wearing some ruddy old boots and trying to have a run
This perfectly shows why studded tires are actually better at around zero temperatures, than non-studded. This is typical myth everyone spreading in Europe why you don't need studded tires. The real reason is it damages road surface.
Studded tires are always better on ice of course. However in most places below around 50N the roads don't usually stay wet enough for long enough for studded tires to make sense. North of 50N you can have almost the whole winter with the roads wet - and if they freeze, studs are best of course. If they are just wet, all seasons or winter tires are better.
@@rkan2 Yep. During that specific weather around 0 celsius and wet ice studs helps, which I think is quite rare condition. But actually today in (in Finland) was day when my studless tires felt quite slippery ... I do not remember last time when I felt so. So while studded tires are better in extreme icy conditions any even average driver will be just fine with Nokia R's (i.e. studless tires).
I had nokia 10 ev and is much more noisier that Viking Contact 7. Viking Contact is quieter than Michelin pilot sport summer tire. Iwould go with R5 if studded tire is not necessity.
It's going to cause supply problems. Nokian has stated that they are moving production to Finland and the US but they do not have the capacity to replace the St. Petersburg production facility.
Same As gaz, oil, raw materials all will be limited and Europe will pay more expensive for less offer and probably go back vlad in 6 to 12 months and sorry can we have a bit gaz and some raw material coz we’re close To Stone Age right now…pleeeeease
Studded tires mafia at work. The roads are grinded to powder each winter, huge grooves in the roads. Finnish government getting kickbacks from Nokian and all the road surfacing companies. Total madness. With modern cars, you could easily ban studded tires, and then we could have smoother roads (studded tires force the road surface to use hard gravel in large gravel size, which makes the nordic ass falt so rough. Also, the large gravel size makes the roads soak up the water a lot better in weather where the water then freezes and melts, further eroding the roads. Like I said, total madness. Plus we breathe in the oil based dust in the spring, and thousands of people die from lung issues. We need to ban or tax studded tires ASAP. But so many people want "just best tire for me - I dont care for the roads". It is tragedy of the commons all over again.
