Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 8 255/45R18 103T XL (DOT 2014)

They firmly grip the road in all winter weather, while the added anchor studs increase the traction on ice and snow-covered road surfaces. The wide swooping grooves effectively avoid hydroplaning situations as they channel the water and slush away from the tire's footprint. The better road gripping ability and hydroplaning resistance increase the driving safety in such conditions.

It maintains road contact at all times and promotes a wider road contact area. This upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability greatly. The tire's steering responsiveness becomes quicker and more accurate, while it is effectively stabilized against the driving pressure. The sawtooth pattern on the rear part of the tread block design also boosts the braking ability. They firmly grip the road during braking, shortening the braking distance significantly.

The Eco Stud cushion design and the lightweight construction work together to decrease the model's rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tires in motion. The result is the vehicle's lowered fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, which ensure an environmentally friendly driving experience.
