Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 | Excellent winter tire grip with NO STUDS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2018
- We had the chance to go on and try the new Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 in Killington Vermont! We had the perfect condition to test a winter tire and a Tesla Model X! That Tesla Model X in the snow was a real charm even with all that power! Yeah, we like studded winter tires here at Car Question, but often there is a legislation that won't permit you to use that kind of winter tires on the road! But, there is a solution! The new non-studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3!
The new Nordic non-studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 winter tire has the perfect balance of safety and comfort. The winter driver’s peace of mind is built upon control from the Arctic Sense Grip concept, making driving precise and enjoyable.
The new-generation Nordic non-studded winter
tire from the world’s northernmost tire
manufacturer is the first choice for drivers who
value first-class safety, unique driving comfort and
greener driving. The different sipes in this
chameleon of winter weather will adapt to all
weather variations and offer relentless grip. The
extremely low rolling resistance results in
substantial fuel savings or, for electric vehicles, an
increase in range.

Had the R2 on my Subaru STI last winter and all I can say is WOW!! I previously had the Blizzacks WS70 on and the R2 surpasses it by far honestly. I was breezing past all the trucks even in the deep snow. Thank You Nokian!
Thanks for the review and insight!
Awesome review
Might pick a pair up this winter deff look like the best winter option
These are a great tyre. I have been running Hakkapilitas for many years in northern Alberta. They inspire confidence whether you're in a RWD estate car or a 4x4 CUV. The technology they boast really works - the ice performance of Hakkas is second to none. They are a softer tyre, and some more demand from the driver is required if on dryer and/or warmer pavement not to overheat them. But that is something that comes with any purpose built snow tyre.
Thank you (merci) for the informative explanation and video clips of what I could agree will become the leading if not the 2nd best winter tire (tyre) available. I like the idea of cryo-crystals which add a layer of extra grip and amarid sidewall for my SUV driving in the backcountry as well as more open aggressive tread like for deep snow. I plan to try these once my Xice 2s wear out.
r2's on the subie and r3's on the volvo.
Can't wait for it to snow!!!
The Hakkapeliitta R2 is pretty much the gold standard of non-studded winter tires, and that's against the likes of the X-ice Xi3 and Blizzak WS80. I have no doubt this would redefine the category once again.
With all that technology it should be great!
I had the xi3 just garbage never going back there again my last was coppers pret good but this year I'll try the R3
I'm going to run a new set of Hakkapalitta's this season.
I ran Michelin X-Ice the last 4 seasons so I'm looking forward to some severe driving conditions.
even my 7 year old R SUV are still going strong. R2 for wife's van will be tested later :D
good video
Had an accident on November 15, 2018--first snow of the season in NE USA/CT. The Nokian WRG3 were not adequate, although quite good. I could not climb one hill, had to detour. But the accident occurred because someone else skidded and hit me, not me hitting them. I need to get back to dedicated snows like I used to have. I had Gislaveds on my Volvo for almost 8 seasons, never got stuck in deepest snow.
When the Gislaveds wore out, salesman talked me into trying Nokian WRG2--said OK for CT not in Maine or Vermont. Loved the WRG2, in Winter and Summer. Replaced them with the WRG3. But now that I moved further North, with heavier snow, the WRG3 may not be enough for winter. So I am thinking about going back to 2 sets--the WRG3 for Summer and a Hakka for Winter. Not sure which Hakka yet, the R3 or a 8 or 9.
Either way, Nokian is the brand to get.
Waiting for it to become available, contacted my local retailer and they said still not in stock. $900 out the door for a set of 4 not bad.
Getting R3 put on tomorrow!
Did you like them?
Pierre, where can I get that bike???
Please let me know. It's probably not too practical, but I'd love to try it and have it, even if it's just to have it sit in my home :) It sounds "unusual", but I'm passionate about Nokian winter tires. Since I had driven R2s and Hakkapeliitta 8,. there's no other winter tire I'm buying for any of our current or future cars. Just bought a set of R3s a few weeks ago. Looking forward to some heavy snow! :)
My daily driver was recently totaled in March by a drunk driver which means I am now daily driving my BMW Z4. Ordering a set of these tires for the winter coming up in a few months here in Chicago. I’ll come back and update this in a half a year.
Well? Lol
@@staceytisdale sorry forgot to come back for the update, I bought the R3 and with this winter snow record here in Chicago; I can confirm that these tires are worth every dollar. My RWD 08 BMW Z4 had no issues, stops are controlled and acceleration was no issue. With my all season tires I couldn’t even get out the parking spot without spinning the tires.
They were a little bit expensive, I asked for quotes at probably 15 places and cheapest I found was $900 out the door. Some shops wanted 1200-1600 out the door.
@@alexs1429 that’s good to hear!
how is the slush ice performance R3 vs 9 non studded
Got the R2 great tire. R3 should be a winner
You bet!
It is! Had R2, bought R3 and my experience: 😲😲😲
@@vladimirolujic6637 so u are disspointed by r3 or what
Driving up and down the I-70 corridor through wintertime Rockies can get downright scary and this year I've decided to research for weeks on which tire to get. It's literally boiled down to the R2-all of which are sold out probably since I waited so long-and the R3. I have read nothing but stellar reviews on the R2, and the R3 having a soft cap layer and harder base layer seems to turn people off. I'm basically ignorant of what this means except it makes me nervous if I carry the tire through more than two seasons... but I'm going to put my faith into Nokian and go with the R3.
At around the 4:15 mark he states that the cryo crystal compound stops at 2/32 tread depth. If you are running these at that depth you needed new tires a while ago
Great video as always. Question, should I clear out the snow that are stuck in between the tire treads?
No. AFAIK Part of the traction is that trapped snow actually sticks to snow on the road better than the rubber does.
nice video for Tesla owners, thank you.
we have a special one coming soon for tesla owners were we do a top list of the best winter tires for your car.
@@CarQuestion thanks a ton, am on the verge of buying winter tire package for my model 3 AWD long range in a fortnight.
@@nimishv1666 Same here. I am pretty sold on getting these on my 18" Aeros. And leaving my other tires on my 19s
@@setheryb heading to Costco this week to get these 18" on my M3 :)
Hi Mathieu. Firstly, thanks for the great reviews on the hakkapeliitta r3 vs. hakkapeliitta 9 (studded). I just have one question: between the both which one do you prefer and why? I live in the Prairies of Canada where it gets -40C and has 8 months of winter. Please let me know!
Hi MJ! glad you like! -40 and 8 months of winter... wow seems like Québec, go with the Studded Hakka 9! They will also last 15% more with studs for that long period! It's the most evolved tire available on the market for those extreme conditions!
a+
R3 or WR A4 ? It’s for a MX-5 2019.
Was not happy with my blizzak ws80 so decided to try some nokians this year. First impression much softer and balanced far better. So I'm a month or so will have them mounted on the car cuz can't have studs but excited already for them
Also I miss blizzaks ws15 the og tire those things were bloody amazing in my mn winters on my lowered civic unstoppable. And a big reason why I didnt like the newer ones on my golf they sucked
I'm a HUGE Michelin Fan. Bought the X-Ice 2 from Costco this past winter and I was thoroughly underwhelmed. Very good rolling resistance, ride quality and noise for a winter tire in dry conditions. HOWEVER, not impressed when it snowed even an inch. It actually slipped more than expected in some modest slushy conditions when coming to a stop (i was driving relatively slowly). I only put on maybe 3k miles this winter, but thinking of trading them for the Hak R3's if there's a noticeable improvement..
Looking to maybe get some R3s for here in Ohio.
Came into the States. Nice !! Welcome. LoL.
We are coming back to Detroit for the GMC Sierra Launch at the end of February :)
Just ordered a set for 5he SQ5, hope they turn out to be good , as I will be sold for life then
Get ready they are great! But don't forget that the first snow are the slippier!
Any updates on this?
Alex S they performed ore then adequate. For the price and warranty, I definitely would be picking up Nokian for winter tires on any of my cars. Also for some reason they also look good compared to other winter tires, which is a plus in a performance car
@@tsifty1 Okay just ordered a set to my Q5 did run Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV with stud and 7 on my A4. Very happy with Nokian Hakkapeliitta.
I thought you said killing it in Vermont until I read the description
What is a better tire: the R3 or a STUDLESS H9?
r3 ofcource with softer compound
@@BC-sr3gg cool. I guess where does the H9 fit in.. what are its benefits? I believe the H9 is more expensive than the R3?
OK, R3 has a two layer compound and R2 a single. I know that blizzaks have two layers as well and when the top layer wears off the performance drops rapidly. I'm afraid that R3s could be the same.
bezumnik
I don’t believe the r3 is a dual compound tire.. nokian says the wr series are dual compound but they dont say the r3 is. .. i agree tho the blizzak does lose a ton of performance once worn. I contacted bridgestone about this and they told me that they designed the tire that way so you could drive it on the soft compound during the winter and then have a harder compound for summer. then presumably you just buy a new set of tires next year.
from their website: "The softer cap layer of the tread’s cap & base structure reinforces grip, while the strong base layer provides additional stability. "
@@bezumnik
Ok, it took me some time to find that on there site and it confused me a little so I called Nokian. They told me that the tread compound is the same all the way through the tread on the R3/R2 and stays that way for the life of the tire. The base layer is referring to the compound beneath the actual tread.
I also called Bridgestone and they confirmed that the blizzak is a true dual compound tire. Meaning as the tread wears the compound changes some what.
From Bridgestone.
"When the Blizzak WS80 is 50% worn, a tread depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that only 10% of the remaining tread is Mutlicell compound."
I then asked where I could find that information for myself and they said it was only in there system...not on there website anywhere.
@@TenB33rs Thanks for clearing that up. I've got the R3s installed a couple of weeks ago and with the little snow that we had in Eastern Ontario so far I can say I'm unimpressed if not disappointed with them. Performance on dry roads is excellent. The tires are quiet and feel comfortable. However driving in 2 inches of snow on untreated, unplowed roads was as good (or as bad) as on my old winter tires (cheap Chinese winters called Westlake). I do drive more aggressively than most people but I found it difficult to get going from a full stop and accelerate at low speeds.On the ice they don't perform at all but I don't expect any non-studded tire to be good on ice. I also read on another forum similar experiences from people who switched from R2s to R3s.
I just bought a set of 4, Nokian Hakkapellitta r3 for my Jeep I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba where's winter is always a challenge. will it try on this tires in 2019!
I also live in Winnipeg. Just bought a pair for my Subaru Forester. Can’t wait to try them out when the snow hits
Winnipeg gang.
John Marquez and of we ever get snow I’ll be able to tell if I like them or not!
@@paulrudolph5079 I just got some for my 2014 Lexus IS 250. He recommended the nokains over the Pirelli's. Hopefully it works well. Been hearing good things about Nokians
So what did you guys think of the r3?
thanks for the info. I am looking to buy my winter tire for my Tesla M3 so seems Nokian Hakkapellitta R3 the good one. looking to find the correct size all I see it says for suv...is that the same one for Tesla M3? thanks for your input
Go with the new R5 Ev! New génération nokian tires for the Ev cars like Tesla !
@@CarQuestion thanks. Yeah. I contacted the Nokia and they suggest RV5 without stud or 10 with stud.
@@hassanpaywandi221 Do you want to stud or not? If you often go into some underground parking, studs are not permitted.
@@CarQuestion I live in GTA Ontario there is not much ice so I think most likely will go without stud.
I thought someone was going to ride that bike.
I Was a Blizzak's guy, bought them for all on my vehicles, I've heard of these a few years back, but now that I can't buy them any more (Blizzak's), I guess these will be going on the wife's SHO an my AWD Flex, had to lower my standards an had to buy some Scorpions, nice tires for those that know no difference, not that great an suck in deep snow
Quebecois?
This is the fattest Fat bike i have ever seen
