Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• Winter weather traction
• Fuel-efficient performance
• Longer-lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is also suitable for EV cars.

The tire's maintained road contact enhances its controllability. The directional tread design's constant contact with the road surface improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The symmetric, directional tread's better road contact increases steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The optimal shoulder block pattern enhances the tire's cornering ability. They heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface and enhance the cornering and maneuvering capability. The enhanced handling provides a safer driving experience.

The model guarantees exceptional winter-weather performance. The tread area is pinned for studs. When added, the extra studs significantly boost the winter weather, ice, and snow grip. The directional tread design and its special siping placement firmly grip the road surface in severe winter weather, while the compound elements maintain the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning to increase wet traction.

The optimized tire footprint spreads driving pressure equally across the tread area. The even distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking prevents irregular wear across the tread area. As a result, the ideal tread pattern is resistant to uneven tread wear as it increases the tire's driving stability. The improved stability, the slower wearing tread, and the prevention of uneven wear combined extend the tire's usability.

The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV promotes its better fuel economy with reduced rolling resistance. This is achieved as the tire manages to lower its rolling resistance. This is the pressure determining the vehicle's necessary fuel usage in order to maintain motion. By lessening the rolling resistance the tire helps to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, leading to a fuel-conscious performance.

Nokian's studdable winter tires require special studs. For this reason, Nokian winter tires can only be studded at their factory. Therefore, tire shops will not be able to install studs into Nokian tires in the US.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
