No mercy!
Nokian Hakka R2, crazy grip on snowand ice! I was playing a bit with the ELD, and with the ELD off the stabilitysystem intervenes quickly any attempt at having fun. No chance of any wheelspinor sideways. However, with the ELD on (ie the button has a green light), thingsimprove. It is possible at low speeds (2nd gear) to drift sideways for all daylong provided you dont floor it completely, but keep the throttle at say under70-80% and keep the steering input at a minimum. The system seems to detect anunstable car with sideways wobbling or lots of steering wheel work and will consequentlystrangle the power. At higher speeds than 50ish kmt it also seem to intervene.Anyway, just started the winter season and will need more testing!
The 4x4 in snow is absolutely fantastic,fun and very capable! As a winter car it is hard to beat, heated screen, enginewarms up in a few minutes, easy parking and you are out of traffic lights longbefore 2,5 ton SUVs get traction.

I've got Nokian WR D3's on my Pop, the difference is night and day from my experience in the snow earlier this year.
