Nokian T432242 Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 285/45R20 112T XL Studless Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is a premium, non-studded winter tire engineered specifically for the demands of crossovers, SUVs, and large passenger vehicles. Manufactured in Finland and built on decades of Nordic winter expertise, the Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV delivers exceptional ice grip, confident snow traction, and a refined, quiet ride throughout the harshest winter conditions.

Arctic Grip Crystals

The R5 SUV features Nokian's proprietary Arctic Grip Crystals — microscopic, diamond-hard particles embedded directly into the tread compound that act as built-in studs. As the tire naturally wears, new crystals continuously emerge from below, maintaining exceptional ice grip over the life of the tire.

Double Block Grip Design

An advanced Double Block Grip tread architecture features a stiff row of tread blocks starting from the center and splitting outward toward the shoulder zone. Combined with 40% more tread blocks in the shoulder and intermediate areas versus its predecessor, this design maximizes the contact patch, putting more rubber on the road surface for improved grip on slippery and icy roads.

Aramid Strong Sidewalls

The sidewall compound incorporates Aramid fibers — the same ultra-strong synthetic material used in aerospace and defense applications — to resist impacts, cuts, and punctures. This reinforced structure also improves cornering stability and handling precision, especially under the high wheel loads typical of large SUVs and heavy electric vehicles.

Green Trace SUV Compound

The SUV-tailored Green Trace tread compound includes over one-third renewable and recycled materials, delivering low rolling resistance, improved fuel efficiency, and excellent wear resistance across a wide temperature range without compromising winter grip.

Winter Safety Indicator (WSI)

A patented Winter Safety Indicator built into the tread displays remaining tread depth in millimeters alongside a snowflake symbol, providing a clear, at-a-glance visual reference for remaining winter performance life.

Key Features:

• Studless winter tire — non-studded design approved for Nordic and severe snow conditions (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rated)
• Arctic Grip Crystals for best-in-class ice grip that replenishes as the tire wears
• Double Block Grip Design with directional tread pattern and angled grooves to evacuate water and slush, reducing hydroplaning risk
• Aramid Strong Sidewalls for superior puncture resistance and cornering stability under high wheel loads
• Green Trace SUV Compound with renewable and recycled materials for low rolling resistance and extended tread life
• Winter Safety Indicator (WSI) — patented tread depth indicator for easy monitoring of remaining winter life
• Electric Vehicle (EV) compatible — engineered to handle the instant torque and added weight of battery-electric SUVs
• XL (Extra Load) rated for increased load capacity
• Made in Finland with Nokian Tyres' exclusive Nordic winter compound technology

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV in size 285/45R20 112T XL (MPN: T432242) is a top-tier studless winter tire choice for drivers of large SUVs and crossovers who demand uncompromising safety, durability, and comfort during winter months.
