OVERVIEW

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

Winter traction is promoted with the tread design and winter compound. The stronger winter compound and the detailed siping placement along the tread area increase the winter weather, ice and snow traction. The stronger compound keeps the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures in winter conditions. The high-density siping placement increases the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, boosting the winter performance. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. The tread area is studded, which further improves the winter weather driving safety levels.

The directional tread design maintains the surface contact, boosting the controllability. The tread design's surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire greatly boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. These tread elements enable the tire to enhance the driver's better control over the vehicle throughout the drive.

The better traction helps to decrease the pressure placed on the tire. The stronger traction eases the pressure off the tire, lowering the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure which determines the vehicle's fuel intake needed to keep the tires in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This results in a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.

A longer lasting tread life is ensured with the tread design. The directional tread elements allow the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area. The tread decreases the irregular wear formations with the tread design's equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking. The stronger compound protects the tire from premature wear formations. This significantly decreases the treadwear formations. The slow and even wear greatly improves the service life.

The Hakkapeliitta 10 upgrades the comfort levels as well. The directional tread design ensures a close road contact, absorbing the shock of driving. As a result, the tire decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. Since road disturbances do not reach the vehicle's cabin, ensuring a comfortable driving experience.

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.
