Nokian T432240 Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 265/45R20 108T XL Studless Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is a premium studless winter tire engineered specifically for SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks that demand superior performance in harsh northern winter conditions. Designed and manufactured in Finland, this tire delivers exceptional grip on ice, snow, wet, and bare roads while maintaining the stability and durability required for larger, heavier vehicles.

Advanced Winter Grip Technology:

• Arctic Grip Crystals - Microscopic third-generation grip crystals mixed into the tread compound work like built-in studs, creating sharp biting edges that activate as the tire wears
• Double Block Grip Design - Increased tread blocks on shoulder and intermediate areas provide superior handling and more rubber contact with slippery surfaces
• Ice Grip Symbol certified for superior ice braking performance
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified for severe winter conditions
• Directional tread pattern with V-shaped grooves efficiently channels water and slush away to reduce hydroplaning risk

Durability and Construction:

• Aramid Strong Sidewalls - Aerospace-grade aramid fibers provide exceptional puncture resistance and protect against curb damage
• Two polyester plies with dual steel belts and polyamide reinforcement layer for enhanced strength and stability
• Optimized for high wheel loads of SUVs and trucks

Eco-Friendly Performance:

• Green Trace tread compound offers excellent winter grip with low rolling resistance for improved fuel economy
• Suitable for electric and hybrid vehicles with load index and speed ratings designed for EV applications
• Made with natural rubber, recycled steel, and plant-derived oils and pine resins
• Quiet, comfortable ride quality

This tire size features an XL (Extra Load) designation with a 108T service description, supporting up to 1,874 lbs per tire at maximum inflation and speeds up to 118 mph.
