Was Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 part of the test?

Still happy :-)....but could probably have been a bit more generous when Xing the options list when I ordered....hence the search for rear camera. I see now that the different national car configurator pages bundle the options differently, so in Norway, the rear camera became too expensive, as well as the heated windscreen, which also was one option I did not buy.

Good to see that there are opinions on this topic :-) I am not very much worried about Nokian cheating with the tests. It appears that most of the more serious tests in the recent years are performed with tyres bought anonymously from random shops and not not supplied directly from the manufacturer, just to avoid cheating. With respect to friction tires, I have tried on my wifes Octavia, which did not impress me much, so I will stick to studs......and those driving on friction tyres are dependant on that a certain percentage of us are using studs to roughen up the icy surface sufficiently to make the friction tyres work....

Winter seems to be coming along pretty early this year (snow forecast for southeastern norway this week). Anyone has some thougths about winter tyres for Kodiaq? Studded tyres or regular winter tyres? I live in Norway and have been thinking about Nokian Hakka 8 235/65R17 with studs. Any suggestions?

Say hello to everyone. Have a 2017 Kodiaq and a 2006 Octavia. Was looking for rear camera hacks and found this forum :-) Best regards Tormod Located in Norway
