Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 Winter Tire Hill Climb and Snow Test

This is the second part of our winter tire test. How do the new Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 on our Nissan Leaf handle climbing up a snow-covered hill, and icy roads? Are they still a quiet tire? How is the rolling resistance of these tires? And bonus: can you spot the fox that quietly ran across the road as we were recording?

I've had the Hak 9's SUV studded snows on my 02 Sequoia for 4 winters now. Absolutely amazing tires. But I'm thinking of putting a set of these R5's on my daily commuter, a little Ford Fiesta, for the quieter ride and less rolling resistance. Thanks for the review.

I run the Nokian WRG-4 from April to November and then from November to about mid March I run the Hakkapeliitta 10 studded (I live in Calgary - Southern Alberta).

Did you purchase the Hakkapeliitta R5 EV version or just the standard SUV version?

How is the grip and overall performance when driving on a Plowed road, wet and salt dry surface?
