Nokian T432203 Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 235/65R17 108R XL Studless Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is a premium studless winter tire engineered specifically for SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks. Designed in Finland and built to handle the harshest northern winter conditions, this tire delivers exceptional performance on ice, snow, slush, and wet winter roads.

Arctic Grip Crystal Technology:

The Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV features third-generation Arctic Grip Crystals—microscopic crystals mixed directly into the tread compound that function like built-in studs. These crystals create sharp, tough grip edges inside the rubber that activate as the tire wears, providing a grip reserve that maintains ice traction throughout the tire's life. This technology delivers superior ice braking performance, earning the tire the official Ice Grip symbol.

Key Features:

• Double Block Grip Design: Increased tread blocks on shoulder and intermediate areas provide more rubber contact with slippery surfaces for enhanced grip and handling
• Aramid Strong Sidewalls: Aerospace-grade aramid fiber reinforcement provides exceptional durability and puncture resistance for demanding winter driving conditions
• Directional Tread Pattern: Angled grooves efficiently channel water and slush away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning and slushplaning risk
• Green Trace Tread Compound: Made from natural rubber, recycled steel, plant-derived oils, and pine resins for low rolling resistance and reduced environmental impact
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake Certified: Meets stringent standards for severe winter weather performance
• Electric Vehicle Ready: Low rolling resistance design extends EV range while delivering quiet, comfortable performance

The Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is optimized for the higher loads and demands of larger vehicles, offering excellent stability, durability, and wear resistance. The stiff tread compound works effectively across a wide temperature range, providing reliable winter performance while maximizing tread life and fuel efficiency.
