Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.

OVERVIEW

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV is a touring, winter tire manufactured for SUVs.

The tire promotes excellent winter weather traction. The directional tread design and durable winter compound improve the winter grip on the road surface. The tread's snow claws and high-density siping detail heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. This ensures the tire's constant grip on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. On the other hand, the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures with the durable rubber materials. The tread's angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the surface contact at all times. This boosts the wet and winter weather grip on the road surface, increasing the winter weather performance.

The tread design's directional pattern features a continuous center tread area which closely follows the road surface while the tires are in motion. This enables the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The reinforced aramid sidewall construction keeps the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. This enables the tire to increase the driving safety levels, as the tire prevents deformation under the pressure during its performance.

The enhanced winter traction provides a fuel efficient performance. The better winter traction eases the driving pressure off the tire and allows the model to evenly distribute the driving forces along its tread area. In this manner, the tire decreases the rolling resistance affecting the tire during its performance. The rolling resistance is the external driving pressure affecting the model, which determines the vehicle's fuel intake levels. The lessened rolling resistance manages to minimize the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly drive.

The Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV offers high driving comfort levels. The tread design and tire's close road contact work together to minimize the road noise heard and vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The tread design channels the airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with the tread elements while the tires are in motion. This prevents the formation of road and tread pattern noise. The maintained surface contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire decreases the road vibrations felt by the passengers during the drive. As a result, the model guarantees a comfortable and quiet 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.
