Nokian Hakkapeliitta R
Efficient yet safe rolling on ice, snow or wet surfacesThe new Nordic studless winter tyre Nokian Hakkapeliitta R takes on the challenges of winter driving with a firm grip. The new tyre’s wet grip properties showcase a long leap in development. In terms of grip in extreme conditions, the new tyre is even better than its predecessor, the widely praised test topper Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi.
High grip - low emissions
The sidewall of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R is labelled with the promising words ultra low rolling resistance, this means minimal wasting of energy and environmentally friendly driving with up to half a litre lower fuel consumption per hundred kilometres. Consequently, traffic-related harmful emissions are reduced.
The low rolling resistance of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R has not been achieved by compromising on grip properties. Notwithstanding the excellent rolling properties, the tyre surpasses its predecessor’s braking ability on icy, snowy and, especially, wet surfaces.
The grip holds in freezing temperatures and rain
Grip in extreme conditions and reliable behaviour in any weather and on any surface were key focus areas in the development of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R. Freezing, drizzling rain and temperatures bouncing up and down around zero degrees celcius make roads very slippery.
The improved grip properties are the result of a new, Nordic winter compound. The new-generation tread rubber compound features a number of new technical elements. The combination of silica and canola oil enhances wet and ice grip and improves tear resistance.
New dimension in wet grip: siping that pumps water away
The patented pump siping enhances wet and ice grip. The tread blocks of the tyre shoulder have pocket-like sipes that remove - pump - water from the road surface and ensure firm contact.
Efficient braking grip is achieved thanks to the brake boosters that proved to be effective in the previous studless Hakkapeliitta model, for which they were developed. The same technical solution has been implemented in the new tyre.
Predictability and safety, even in sudden situations
The tyre must function precisely and predictably when changing lanes, passing cars and taking curves.
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R offers a precise steering response that helps the driver detect changes in the friction level. The grip range is wide, which helps the driver react to grip changes in time.
Designed especially for friction tyres, the multi-layer surface structure and tread compound take driving stability to a unique level: the tyre remains stable regardless of the varying winter conditions. The tread block geometry improves steering, even on grooved roads.
This new tyre belongs to the speed category R (170 km/h), which is higher than in most competing products.
The Driving Safety Indicator (DSI) indicates the number of millimetres left on the tread. The placement memory is for marking the tyre mounting location under the car, which is helpful when changing tyres for the winter season.
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R is manufactured using non-toxic chemicals and harmless, purified oils.
