General Comments

I purchased these tires for winter driving in southern co. Haak 2 eco stud 195/65 /R15. I used these tires for approx 500miles, they were dismounted and correctly stored for summer. Upon re-mounting for winter, one of the tires showed 2 grapefruit size protrusions on the sidewall. Remember these tires had been in storage and not in use. The rubber was so thin I could almost push my finger through the protrusions.'
The tire was sent back to Denver CO, Nokian rep, which told me the damage was due to impact.
I explained that these tires were fine when the came off last spring, hadn't been mounted on the vehicle yet, so I couldn't understand how they could stand by "impact damage". Maybe he thinks that falling from my garage storage shelf constitutes impact damage.
I also spoke with Nokian direct, explained the situation etc...They than called the Denver rep, called me back and refused to warranty the tire due to defect,told me i should have purchased "roadside hazard" (a non issue as the tire is clearly defect) apologized and hung up.
Bottom line...if you have a warranty/defect problem do not count on Nokian cover their product. I will never purchase any of their products or recommend their products to anyone.

    First of all, they are not all season tires. The Hakkapeliitta line is a winter tire. Second, the call as to whether the representative from Nokian will honour your warranty or not is a judgement one. They judged that you had abused the tires.
    I've been using Nokian winter tires for over 20 years and have always been well satisfied with them. It's too bad you had a negative experience with them but I can assure you that this is not representative of the brand as a whole.
