Nokian TF00062 Hakkapeliitta R5 EV SilentDrive 235/55R18 104R XL Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV SilentDrive (TF00062) is a non-studded winter tire engineered specifically for electric and hybrid vehicles. Sized at 235/55R18 with an Extra Load (XL) rating of 104R, it delivers exceptional winter grip on ice, snow, and wet surfaces while actively supporting extended driving range through low rolling resistance.

Arctic Grip Crystals — Studless Winter Traction

At the core of this tire's ice performance are third-generation Arctic Grip Crystals embedded in the tread compound. These microscopic crystals act like built-in studs, creating sharp biting edges inside the rubber. As the tread wears, fresh crystals emerge continuously, maintaining a reliable grip reserve throughout the tire's service life.

SilentDrive™ Technology — Whisper-Quiet Cabin Experience

Because electric vehicles run without engine noise, road and tire resonance becomes far more noticeable. The Hakkapeliitta R5 EV addresses this with SilentDrive™ Technology, which places a layer of acoustic foam on the tire's inner liner. This foam absorbs air cavity resonance before it can transmit into the cabin, significantly reducing interior noise levels for a more serene driving experience.

Green Trace Compound — EV-Optimized Rolling Efficiency

The proprietary Green Trace compound is specifically formulated for EV use, delivering low rolling resistance that directly translates to improved range per charge. The eco-conscious compound incorporates canola oil, natural rubber, recycled steel, plant-derived oils, and pine resin — with more than one-third of the compound made from renewable or recycled materials.

Key Features:

• Arctic Grip Crystals — Third-generation microscopic grip crystals provide stud-like traction without studs
• SilentDrive™ Technology — Acoustic foam inner liner absorbs road resonance for ultra-low cabin noise
• Double Block Grip Design — Stiff tread blocks on the shoulders enhance lateral grip and cornering stability
• Green Trace Compound — EV-tailored formulation for low rolling resistance and extended range
• Directional Tread Pattern — Angled grooves evacuate water and slush to reduce hydroplaning and slushplaning
• Winter Safety Indicator (WSI) — Displays remaining tread depth in millimeters with a snowflake symbol; snowflake disappears at 4mm, signaling time to replace
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified — Officially approved for severe winter conditions
• XL / Extra Load Rated — Reinforced construction supports the added weight of EV battery packs
• Eco-Friendly Construction — Over one-third renewable and recycled materials
• Non-Studded Design — Road-friendly, stud-free construction suitable where studded tires are restricted

The Hakkapeliitta R5 EV in size 235/55R18 104R XL (MPN: TF00062) is the ideal winter upgrade for EV and hybrid crossover owners seeking maximum cold-weather safety, a quiet ride, and the best possible winter driving range.
