Amazing traction on icy roads with a limited amount of snow. At least as good as my former chains without the hassle of changing in the cold.
I will make these my new winter standard.
Simple tire made the purchase and delivery easy.

The Nokian Hakkipelita 10s are superior ice and snow tires and have kept me safe throughout 4 winter storms this season. I live on the top of a mountain with steep grades and narrow switchbacks and these tires are my insurance policy. The grip, handling and stopping distance on winter surfaces is superb. This is my 3rd set of NH tires and they just keep getting better and better.

Simply the best snow tire available. I drove a Ford Mustang home from the dealer with these installed on quite possibly the snowiest day of the year, and the vehicle was drivable on all roads and able to maintain its position in traffic. While it was not fast up hills, it was able to make it places where an RWD performance vehicle had no business being in those conditions. I would absolutely recommend, despite the high price.

These tires are amazing for winter driving. They are a snow and ice tire. Haven't driven much on dry pavement yet, but the noise with studs was fine. The piece of mine with brakiny is exceptional.

Tires have been very good on ice and snow. They are a bit noisy however that is to be expected since they are studded. Will continue to use Nokian tires.
