Flew past winter, melted ice on the margins of the first flowers appeared on the trees about to bud swell, in general, spring comes. Memories of last winter, shiver, still warm weather has not been established, but the summer will inevitably close. And for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 is the opposite end. Finnish winter tire test, carried out this site came to an end and it's time to take stock of long-term testing, which began in November last year. So, tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 for today are the latest development of the Finnish company to operate in the winter and at lower temperatures and will remain so for the coming winter. As a carrier of winter tires, we chose the BMW 735i car with ABS and ASC (traction control). Hakkapeliitta 5 is produced at its own factories in the cities of Nokian Nokia (Finland) and in Vsevolozhsk (Russia), where the Company now complete production cycle from preparation of the rubber compound to studdable. Last until 2011, promises to increase production more than doubled from 4 to 10 million tires per year from the second stage of production. How will this affect the price of tires is not yet known. Tested tires were manufactured in Russia. The main change in the 5 th generation of winter tires become lamella structure that holds the spine and was named "bear claw". The structure of the spine has also been refined, now his body has four sides, making it the best kept in a rubber compound. Hold the shaft in the casing tires - this is one of the most important stages of our testing. The fact that the past winter was one of the most severe test for winter tires. Nearly two-thirds of the time that our car was traveling on the roads of the capital and other routes in the Central region of Russia, the amount of snow and ice was zero. Dry and wet asphalt was the main cover, driving on "Hakka". Coupling characteristics on such a road have been, frankly, not so hot. But here the blame for not Hakkapeliitta 5 because any studded tires suffer from such coverage, and debates about the need whether spines with a small amount of snow, for example in the city, until now no one allowed. At this point showed up and the first disadvantage, "Hakki" - much of it makes a noise when rolling at low speed. On the other side of the face and dignity - the almost complete absence of noise and hum while driving at high speed as if you go to summer tires. During the test was passed more than seven thousand kilometers, following the dismantling of tires have been thoroughly checked for spikes. One and all remained in their places. Square stud so firmly stuck in the mixture, do not even think there falling out. Only at the edges of the spike seen in many severe were the conditions of operation. Head spines, also with four faces, remained in place and will serve more than one season. Reliability - is not the only fad Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5, its main purpose, such as improving the coupling properties on snow and ice and, consequently, increase traffic safety, the Finnish Bus operates five plus. It is best to "bear claw" behaves in the snow and snowy slush. Rebuilding on such a coating at high speeds are fairly easy, the car holds the road well. On country roads, where lane divided drifts, rebuild is very dangerous, but the fifth "Hakka" adds confidence and maneuvers are given easier. Car "booted" in the Finnish tire fifth generation clearly helm and standing safely on the road. On the ice, stopping distances clearly declined. As we found out, but very simply, you do not even need to conduct a comparative test and drive on the polygons. Enough to travel to Moscow to and from work on weekdays. Minor accidents during this time abound, and many more of those who created the accident. So, moving at one speed with vperediiduschim car, the last often slows in the SW, since before him someone did not have time to slow down, or vice versa, someone thought it will have time to fly. Braking skid and have the car behind and in front of you when riding a compact foreign car-class golf, and you move on after her two-ton car to brake sharply, and not "kiss" in the rear requires considerable experience and skill, and often, distancing does not help. Getting away from the habit of hitting in any direction, where there are no foreign objects, fire at the subconscious level, but then more and more came to confidence in the tires, which can slow no worse than the lightweight hatchback. Traction control system has to work a little less like ice and snow. Penetrate into the surface of the tire, and rear-wheel drive stalled less. Quality and characteristics of tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 did not disappoint. All expectations were met and, by selecting this tires for your car, you will not be disappointed. On top left to say, that have Hakkapeliitta 5 pleasure does not come cheap - the most expensive tires to all of its competitors. Unfortunately, company policy is that the novelty value Finns expensive for those who want to have a brand, set aside 4 th generation Hakkapeliitta, which is produced to this day, and for the latest technology and improvements in the case of Nokian have to fork out.
