Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Fuel efficient model
- Enhanced Controllability
- Reduced road noise levels
- Hydroplaning resistance
OVERVIEW
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire promotes superb winter weather traction. The winter tire compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread pattern, with the high density siping design, boosts the road gripping ability on snow and ice-covered roads. The special road gripping ability is further improved with the model's water and slush dispersing capability. The wide swooping and interconnecting tread grooves actively prevent hydroplaning situations and ensure a safer driving experience in all winter conditions.
The model's special winter weather construction and enhanced traction reduce its rolling resistance. The tread design maintains road contact at all times which lowers the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs in order to keep the tires in motion. The decreased rolling resistance lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, which makes the tire more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.
The tread pattern increases the tire's controllability. The structurally reinforced center tread design provides a larger road contact area and maintains constant road contact. The better road contact boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability, which ensure quick and precise handling in all winter weather. The shoulder tread block design also improves the performance as it provides additional biting edges to maneuver on ice and snow-covered road surfaces. The upgraded maneuvering and cornering ensure a safer drive and controllability.
The Hakkapeliitta 8's tread pattern provides a quiet and enjoyable driving experience. The tread pattern channels the airwaves through the tire footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. This lowers the road noise levels generated while the tires are in motion and guaranteed a comfortable drive.
This specific tire is from 2018. DOT 2018
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.
