Nokian TS32938 Hakkapeliitta 1 255/50R20XL 109T Studded Winter SUV Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 is a premium studded winter tire engineered for SUVs and crossovers that demand confident traction in the harshest cold-weather conditions. Built on Nokian's legendary Hakkapeliitta lineage — originating in the demanding Nordic winters of Finland — this tire delivers exceptional grip on ice, packed snow, and slush-covered roads.

Key Features:

• Studded Ice Grip: Metal studs embedded across the tread provide aggressive biting edges for superior acceleration, braking, and cornering traction on hard-packed ice and snow
• XL (Extra Load) Rating: Reinforced construction rated for higher load demands, ideal for the added weight of larger SUVs and crossovers
• Winter-Optimized Compound: Advanced rubber compound remains pliable and grippy in sub-zero temperatures, maintaining consistent contact with cold road surfaces
• Directional Tread Design: Evacuates slush and water efficiently from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning in wet winter conditions
• Deep Sipe Network: Dense siping pattern multiplies grip edges across the tread face, enhancing traction on snow and compressed ice
• Lateral Grooves: Angled grooves channel slush away from the footprint for improved stability during winter driving
• Black Sidewall (BSW): Clean, traditional black sidewall finish
