The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R is the highest quality winter tyre which can be used on ice. It has reduced rolling resistance, saves fuel and it is stable and precise. The new tyre has made a mile step regarding the adhesion on the wet surface. Non-spikes alternative became the model representative: it is designed for the all-conditions winter’ work and in every, even the most extreme situation.
On the side wall of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R promising mark can be seen: ultra-low rolling resistance. This means that the tyre rolls efficiently without the energy consumption. It ensures environmentally friendly and economical driving from the driver’s point of view. Fuel consumption can, as a result, decrease by about 0,5l for every 100 miles. Reduced rolling resistance in Nokian Hakkapeliitta R does not mean any compromise or lowering the efficacy of its’ adhesion. On the contrary – besides splendid results according to the lowered rolling resistance, this tyre surpasses its’ predecessor in the braking efficacy on the icy, snowy and especially wet surface.
The use of the new, Scandinavian rubber compound is responsible for the improved tyre’s adhesion. New generation of rubber compound possessing silica and canola oil used in the tread’ construction improves the tyre’s resistance to cuttings and also helps to increase the adhesion on the wet and icy surface. Water drainage and clearance of the zone of the tread contact with the surface is ensured by the system of the water pockets on the tread edges’ blocks patented by Nokian Tyres. The directional tread pattern is covered with dense fuses’ net which efficiently improves the tyre’s adhesion. The adhesion during the braking is improved by the braking’ support system which proved efficient in the previous models. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R tyres are characterized by the precise response to every steering wheel movement. It enables the quick detection of the attrition’ level changes. Adhesion’ range is wide which aids the driver in quick reaction to all its’ changes properly.
Excellent management, stability and maneuverability by the dynamic maneuvers are guaranteed by solutions applied in the tread and the structure of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R tyre. The profile structure with the innovative, multi-layered grooves together with the new rubber compound patented especially for the winter tyres ensures the tyre’s stability irrespective of any conditions’ change on the road in winter.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R is the winter tyre which can be used on ice designed for the passenger cars. It belongs to the premium class which ensures the highest quality.
