Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV

Key Features

• PURE GRIP
• PURE CONTROL
• PURE ECO-FRIENDLINESS
• IMPECCABLE ICE GRIP
• Winter can be unpredictable and hazardous, but your tires should not. The new Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV covers all northern winter conditions and performs predictably on bare, wet, icy and snowy roads. The new Double Block Grip design offers superior grip and handling, while the excellent ice performance is guaranteed by the unique Arctic Grip Crystals. The microscopic crystals work like built-in studs. As the tire wears down, the crystals emerge and activate a well-needed grip reserve.
• Winter weather offers many challenges for drivers, from snow- and ice-covered roads to large cracks and potholes that can weaken and damage the asphalt. The Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV has a strong body structure which further improves driving stability and durability. The Aramid Strong sidewalls offer durability and protection for demanding driving conditions. The strong, synthetic aramid fiber used in the compound reinforces the sidewalls and makes the tire more resistant to impacts and cuts that could otherwise easily break it. Accidental tire damage can be costly, but the Aramid sidewalls may prevent the damage altogether.
• Starting from the material selection, the new Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV has been designed to leave a smaller carbon footprint. The SUV tailored Green Trace tread compound offers excellent winter grip, great mileage and low rolling resistance with improved stability and durability. The stiff compound works across a wide temperature range and offers excellent service life while the low rolling resistance generates fuel savings and cuts down on harmful emissions.
• Arctic Grip Crystals. The microscopic, third-generation grip crystals are mixed in the tread rubber. These crystals work like built-in studs, creating sharp, tough grip edges inside the rubber. As the tire wears down, the crystals emerge and activate the much-needed grip reserve.
