How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its exceptional winter traction, particularly on ice, hard-packed snow, and deep snow conditions. While users note that the aggressive stud design results in noticeable road noise on dry pavement, the overwhelming consensus is that the safety and peace of mind provided in severe winter weather far outweigh the noise penalty.
Pros
- Phenomenal grip and traction on ice, black ice, and deep snow
- High confidence and safety for daily commutes in harsh winter climates
- Aggressive stud layout that outperforms many competing winter tires
- Acceptable comfort despite the aggressive tread design
Cons
- Significant road noise on dry and clear pavement
- Isolated reports of poor performance and sliding on snowy corners from a minority of users
Worth knowing
- Successfully tested on a variety of capable platforms including Audi Quattro, Mercedes AllRoad, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and GMC Denali.
