The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01 wins this test on the strength of its winter performance, which is where the scoring puts most of the weight. It is the benchmark for ice grip among the legally compliant tires and backs that up with good wet grip and the quietest cabin in the test. The compromise is on asphalt, where the steering and stability give ground to rivals, so Nokian appear to have traded some road manners to protect the ice results. For drivers who buy studded tires for genuine winter conditions it is the pick of this field; anyone spending most of the winter on clear tarmac should read the asphalt scores first.
