OVERVIEW
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta CR3 is a highway terrain, winter tire manufactured for light trucks. The model has some commercial sizes available.
The tire promotes great winter weather traction by using the winter compound and the detailed, directional tread design. This combination upgrades the winter weather, ice and snow traction. The special cryo crystal compound greatly improves the grip and keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile, winter weather situations. The high-density siping placement also enables the tire to improve the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. The tread's angled lateral grooves and the pump sipes prevent hydroplaning by preventing water and slush from blocking the surface contact.
The directional tread design's close and constant surface contact manages to upgrade the controllability. They maintain the road contact and improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder block pattern with the siping placement provides additional biting edges to grip the road surface, which enhances the cornering and maneuvering capability. This combination promotes safer handling.
The model features a reinforced construction. The Aramid fiber strengthened sidewalls help to keep the ideal tire shape at all times. In this manner, the reinforced structure does not allow the tire to deform under the load and driving pressure. This significantly upgrades the tire's load and driving durability, enabling the tire to safely perform at heavier loads. The Aramid sidewalls also protect the tire from punctures and external damage, preventing them from shortening the service life. The stabilized tread elements help to lengthen the usability. The tread blocks along the directional tread area enable the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure. The equally distributed forces of acceleration, cornering and braking prevent premature and irregular wear formations, significantly extending the usability.
The strengthened winter traction helps to minimize the pressure affecting the tire during the performance. In this manner, the winter traction effectively lowers the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake levels in order to keep the tires in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance enables the tire to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, resulting in a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly performance.
The Hakkapeliitta CR3 also promotes a quiet drive. The stability of the footprint enables the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint. In this manner, the airwaves do not come in contact with the tread elements, preventing soundwave formations. This prevents sound waves from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a comfortable driving experience.
