I like the price and quick delivery.

These tires are amazing in the snow and ice! I have not had them long enough to know about tread life. They are loud but I will take loud for safety!

Overall a veary impressive but the handling leaves a lot to be desired, i was expecting much better.

These ratings apply to STUDDED Hakkapeliitta 9s, they are not meant for dry pavement. If you want the studs to stay in, keep them on the snow and ice. The studs are super loud on dry pavement. I use them for Ice Racing on frozen lakes and snow rallies on closed courses. The grip is amazing! We pushed the limits of the tires doing 60-70mph on ice, taking corners at 20-40mph and the grip was reliable and predictable. As the tires age they don't keep the studs in very well, after a few seasons we are left with good tread but only 60% of the studs left, but this is in racing conditions. If you can't change back to non-studded tires when the snow melts you should get the non-studded Hakka 9s.

I haven't had much time with these tires yet. But wow black ice, no snow, they where amazing stopping and going. 1700 pound car. Turning I'm not sure I slowed down because all the roads where ice and I didn't want to go off the road. I was also going the speed limit witch was 50 to 55 that night. Roads I literally couldn't stand on because it was slopped and all ice. Turning I would slow down to 45 and they felt like they could handle faster. I'm not a aggressive driver. Snow and ice. I only seen for a short distance handled better then any tire I seen. Slipped a little bit from 30 mph to moderate breaking pressure. I'll have to update after I had more use. So far I deffently wouldn't be looking at another tire

These studded winter tires cannot be beat! Live in rural Vermont where weather changes quickly and often gets scary and icy. As well as climbing up to the ski resorts during ice storms or extremely low wind chills and temps, wouldn't want to go anywhere without my hakka 9

Best snowtire ever. Blizzaks come in 2nd for 3 reasons: 1. Treadlife. Blizzaks wear out sooooo quickly. 2. studs cannot be beaten for stopping and grip

amazing ice grip! installed on jetta sedan w/ tuned sporty engine and suspension prior to winter ski road trip in Colo, Wy, Canada. Replaced 1 season old general /conti studded altimax 1/2 worn, started to need attention on slick and ice, the new hakka 9s excell on slippery and ice, virtual no ABS effect on smooth hockeyrink icy glazed conditions, 300% better than the studded generals. deep and packed snow traction are excellent. dry road traction/handling ok, noise moderate, up to 85mph, both typical of good winter studded tires. salted slushy brown snow during blizzards on teton pass were a bit better than the generals, but not perfect, "slushplaning" acceptable, not great. pricey, but worth it if you need ice traction
