Never made it home like this before! Thank you so much! Last year I was stuck on a hill everyday after work. This year, I've made it home no problem. 17 inches of snow in anchorage alaska over the last 24hrs. So many people on the side of the road or the ditch. These tires are more than amazing. Made for the harshest of conditions
Just equipped my car with Hakka 9s studded! Could instantly feel the difference, plus they’re not as noisy as the previous ones and I’ve noticed over half a liter less in my fuel consumption ! All my four cars and SUV’s have Nokian tires, studded and non studded for the winter and they’re brilliant! After taking a trip in the winter in north of Finland, I saw that these guys really know what winter is! I’ve lived for 2 years in Alaska and it wasn’t that harsh as in Finland. Keep up the good work people!
Can not afford Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 in 2024 so I bought Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 today. If it worked when this video was made (7 years ago) then I am sure it still woeks today 😃
I just installed stud-less Hakka 9's on our LR Discovery. The thing is unstoppable. I can't believe the lateral grip on these. I was trying to break them loose on our country roads with fresh snow on them just this morning, and struggled to do so at high dry road speeds. Way better than the Scorpion Winters and Conti Wintercontacts i had on other SUV's. They really don't seem that loud to me. That may have something to do with the sound dampening of the vehicle too. I'm sure with studs its a different story.
I'm getting the hakka 9's studded tomorrow, should be a 100x better than my firestone winterforce , I have high expectations hopefully it doesn't dissapoint.
@@reludennis I literally just switched from Conti tires w/ no studds to a new set of hakka 9. With conti I was afraid of driving 50+ km/h on icy roads, while hakka9 is so good I can actually drive at the speed limit. Also had a ton of situations where my Impreza would slide out on ice like if I was trying to drift. Tried that with hakka 9, nope - solid like a fking wall.
I work at a tire shop in Finland so of course I had to get a set off these for my car, but yea the stud noise is far worse than the old Hakkapelitta 7 & 8, just waiting for some real snow now so they will shut up =) But they do behave better in the dry so far. (car feels less woolly)
Im buying Nokian Haka 9 this year on 2019 impreza. Using nokian R2 for the past 2 years on 2017 impreza. Ill let you know in a few months, but i know it will be great.
@@OutdoorFun01 Thanks, I have a 2015 subaru STI... I had the Hakka R2, now have the Michelin Pilot Alipne PA4. Let me know the comparison, because I'm debating if going R3 or 9
We installed them on our production truck, and they are not that bad at all! We can confirm cause we rolled the Hakka8 last year with RW11 of Hankook! It's also not that cold outside so it seems worse! When it's gonna get colder, the sound will be even less present.
Bonjour Romuald! J'ai roulé des Hakka 7 clouté sur mon Tiguan AWD 2013 (détruit dans une colision frontale) et ensuite des Hakka R2 sur un CRV AWD pendant 3 hivers et au finale, je viens de posé des Hakka 9, CLOUTÉS sur mon Pilot 2017... Oui ils sont un peu bruyant par rapport au R2, mais j'ai toujours trouvé que mes R2 manquait un peu de grip sur la glace et la neige blanche durci... aussi, j'ai eu l'impression que mes R2 ont usé plus rapidement que mes 7 cloutés (Un de mes amis en est a sa 5e hivers avec ces Hakka 5 cloutés.. Je ne sais pas ou vous habiter, mais ici a Chibougamau, les petits inconvégiant des clous vallent largement la peine! Bonne route!
Allo Stephan moi je vis dans la ville de Québec et je vais travailler en bus. Je fais vraiment pas bcp de millage et c'est quand même bien déneigé dans mon coin.Je les ai acheté la semaine dernière mes hakka 9 suv et j'ai déjà hâte de chausser mon cherokee trailhawk 2017 😀
Always get all 4 tires the same, whether studded or not. Otherwise your back end will have mor control than your front, not to mention most of your stopping power comes from your front tires.
......😒 testing the tire on an awd vehicle, it would be a better test if it was on a fwd or rwd vehicle, not everyone had awd 😕 I have the all weather g4 nokian and have yet to see a test on those.
Hi guys, what about the non-studded Hakkapeliitta 9's? I mean all reviews on internet are about studded tires and nothing about nonstudded. I got stuck between bridgestone dmv2 and hakkas 9... Suv 235/55/19 I have some great deals for both , the difference is not big. The last 3 winters i used bridgestones but not for suv and i want to try the h 9 for my new suv. what do you suggest? Thanks
How many miles can we expect to get from these worst case scenario. My commute will be around 130miles a day with probably 45 on snow and ice and the rest on asphalt once it gets some traffic on it.
Yeah studded tires are loud except when you drive on snow or ice. Finland has the loudest roads on the planet because they've been worn out by studs...
@@CarQuestion first.. not say nokian not good as winter tyres. Are way better than cooper. Just try with 2wd not quattro. Try with another car(not subaru). Quattro AWD is good with almost any winter tyres. This is what ...but... means in my point of view. Sorry for any inconvenience that i have created.
no inconvenience at all! only good discussion to get your point and adapt the content in the future! :) but take not that AWD or 2wd, when you are braking on ice, it doesn't really matter :)
@@CarQuestion i know. that s why i am asking to try on other cars. for real Nokian is making the difference on ice or snow. just show how good your tyres are. and with these " hakka 9" i think you have won the Oscar.

Can you do a review with Danny about the hakka 10 and the R5. I love your content!
I'm getting the hakka 9's studded tomorrow, should be a 100x better than my firestone winterforce , I have high expectations hopefully it doesn't dissapoint.
great decision! Firestone Winterforce are technology from the 90'S!
They sound excellent-I'm ordering a set.

What would you suggest between norman 7 and haka9
Is there a huge difference worth the extra 300$ on a set?

Tommy Storsved so i guess im keeping my 8, i hate the stud noise
Wait so you're saying the 9 is much noisier than the 7 or 8?!
Would love to see a comparison head to head hakkapeliitta r3 vs hakkapelitta 9
do you stud or not?

Love my hakkappeliitta r2 suv still preform great
I’ll have my own review this winter
Hakkappelitta r3 on Subaru sti
Hakkappelitta 9 suv on Subaru ascent
These things work incredibally on my 2014 Accord FWD. I drove through 6 inches of snow no problem.
SnakeBerry wtf no way nice 👍🏽 I’m buying some for my 2017 Honda Accord Coupe V6
For real?
@@ersandy4u Yes
Currently installing these right now. Disappointed to hear these are loud now lol. Hopefully they won’t be to bad when I leave

Will you be doing a review of the new Hakka 10 coming fall 2021?
Je l'achète pour cet hiver, mais non clouté. Merci pour ta revue ☺
excellent choix!
sont il stable sur le sec ...dans les curves sur le sec ???

Hopefully I'll get a set of these onto my SUV. these plus true 4WD should mean i'm not then getting stuck lol
Just got a pair of the non-studded Hakkapeliitta 9's on my truck, with 4x4 i can't see ever getting stuck.
I'm considering getting a pair of the studded h9's for my rear wheel drive Mercury Grand Marquis. Any recommendations?
Always get all 4 tires the same, whether studded or not. Otherwise your back end will have mor control than your front, not to mention most of your stopping power comes from your front tires.
Will they be available in P185/55R15 in the future?
Right now my only choice is Hakka 8s...
Already had the hakkapelitta r2 and michelin pa4.
Want max grip.
Time to buy better tyres then if you want max grip.
How are these behaving on slush?
alex gun
Excellent. Best winter tire ever.
The 8s aren't great in slush.
Really good. It's like there's no slush at all.
I have no choice, not even an option. I have to go with the best studded tire available. Noise or not. Winter extremes + mountains = hazardous
......😒 testing the tire on an awd vehicle, it would be a better test if it was on a fwd or rwd vehicle, not everyone had awd 😕 I have the all weather g4 nokian and have yet to see a test on those.
Is hakka 9 without studs still a good choice?
Yes, if there is no ice. They are at their best on a snowy road.
Hi guys, what about the non-studded Hakkapeliitta 9's? I mean all reviews on internet are about studded tires and nothing about nonstudded. I got stuck between bridgestone dmv2 and hakkas 9... Suv 235/55/19 I have some great deals for both , the difference is not big.

Hakka9 or R2. Please note that the R2 is in final year as the R3 will come out next year :)
Thanks for answer👍
How many miles can we expect to get from these worst case scenario. My commute will be around 130miles a day with probably 45 on snow and ice and the rest on asphalt once it gets some traffic on it.
I would guess that 20000-30.000 km would be no problem. A mile is 1.6 km. So lets say 15.000-20.000 miles.
I just bought a pair and theses tires and they are soooo loud! Sounds like i have bad wheel bearings. I like the tires but its just too loud...
Yeah studded tires are loud except when you drive on snow or ice. Finland has the loudest roads on the planet because they've been worn out by studs...
I have the hakka 8 and they are quiet. Had other studded tires and all quiet just these hakka 9 are loud
Well, that's interesting.
But do you have the same rim size?
Same vehicle same rims same tire size
So...yo're testing on ...Audi Quattro AWD system? Wich is problably the best AWD?
No offence but ...
But ?
