Nokian TF00060 275/45R21 110T XL Hakkapeliitta R5 EV SilentDrive Winter Tire

The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta R5 EV is a non-studded Nordic winter tire purpose-built for passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs — with a dedicated focus on electric and hybrid vehicles. Designed from the ground up with environmentally conscious technology, it delivers maximum safety, comfort, and extended driving range in severe winter conditions.

Arctic Grip Crystals — Built-In Ice Traction

Unlike conventional studless tires, the Hakkapeliitta R5 EV uses proprietary third-generation Arctic Grip Crystals mixed directly into the tread rubber. These microscopic crystals function like built-in studs, forming sharp, tough grip edges within the compound. As the tire wears, fresh crystals continuously emerge to maintain a strong grip reserve throughout the tire's life.

SilentDrive™ Technology — Engineered for EV Quietness

Electric vehicles are inherently quieter than combustion-engine cars, making cabin noise more noticeable. The SilentDrive™ Technology addresses this with a layer of acoustic foam bonded to the inner liner of the tire. This foam absorbs air cavity resonance in the 200–250Hz range before it can transmit into the cabin, resulting in a significantly quieter and more comfortable ride.

Green Trace Compound — EV-Optimized Rolling Resistance

The new Green Trace compound is specifically tuned for electric vehicle use, providing excellent winter grip while minimizing rolling resistance to help extend battery range. Over one third of the compound's materials are renewable or recycled, including natural rubber, canola oil, recycled steel, plant-derived oils, and pine resin.

Double Block Grip Tread Design

The directional tread pattern features a Double Block Grip design with a stiff center row that splits toward the shoulders, increasing the amount of rubber and biting edges in contact with the road. Angled grooves and dense siping efficiently evacuate water and slush to reduce hydroplaning and slushplaning risk.

Aramid Strong Sidewalls

The sidewalls are reinforced with Aramid fibers — the same high-strength material used in aerospace and defense applications — providing exceptional puncture resistance and durability against external impacts and wheel flange pressure.
