Hakkapeliitta fans have the opportunity in this video to see a practical comparison of the R3 model with the previous R2 and the "nine". Rubber has been on the market long enough for many users in Russia to appreciate it. The R3 is a major success, given that the designers in it have been able to decently improve grip on winter roads.
What has changed in this rubber in comparison with its predecessor? The tread depth remains the same, but not the pattern. The central rib appeared. It enhances the stability of the machine in straight sections and gives excellent obedience in high-speed corners. In the manufacture of the R3, the main drawback of its predecessor, the braking distance, was taken into account. Now the machine will need 10% less, and this is not all the benefits.
Thanks to the author of the channel Maxim Akhtyamov - his video clearly shows how the car behaves on the track, "shod" in this Finnish rubber.
