Nokian T432222 Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 275/65R18 116R Studless Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is a premium studless winter tire engineered for SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks that demand uncompromising ice and snow performance. Designed to excel in the harshest northern winter conditions, this tire delivers predictable handling on bare, wet, icy, and snow-covered roads.

Arctic Grip Crystal Technology:

Third-generation microscopic grip crystals are embedded throughout the tread compound, functioning like built-in studs to create sharp, durable grip edges. As the tire wears, these crystals continuously emerge to activate a grip reserve, maintaining exceptional ice traction throughout the tire's service life.

Key Features:

• Double Block Grip Design: Features 40% more tread blocks on the shoulder and intermediate areas compared to its predecessor, delivering superior grip and handling on slippery surfaces
• Aramid Strong Sidewalls: Reinforced with synthetic aramid fiber for enhanced puncture resistance, impact protection, and durability in demanding winter conditions
• Directional Tread Pattern: Bold V-shaped design with alternating center ribs swiftly channels water and slush away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk
• Ice Grip Symbol (IGS) Certified: Meets industry standards for exceptional ice braking performance, along with Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification
• Green Trace Compound: SUV-tailored formula offers excellent winter grip with low rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions
• Silent Touch Technology: Optimized tread block distribution eliminates disturbing noise peaks for a smooth, comfortable, and quiet ride
• Winter Safety Indicator (WSI): Embedded tread indicator displays remaining tread depth in millimeters with a snowflake symbol visible until 4mm remains
• Electric Vehicle Ready: Load index and speed rating suitable for electric and hybrid vehicles

Construction:

Built with a robust internal structure featuring two polyester casing plies reinforced by two steel belts and a polyamide overlay for exceptional strength, stability, and durability under high wheel loads.
