Nokian TS32955 Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 245/70R17 114T XL Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 245/70R17 114T XL is a premium non-studded winter tire engineered for SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks that face demanding cold-weather conditions. Purpose-built for larger, heavier vehicles, this tire delivers confident grip, balanced handling, and outstanding durability on snow, ice, slush, and bare winter roads.

Key Features:

• Arctic Grip Crystals — Microscopic crystals embedded throughout the tread compound act as built-in studs, creating sharp biting edges that maintain ice grip even as the tire wears down over time.
• Double Block Grip Design — An enhanced shoulder layout increases tread block density and contact area, delivering superior traction and predictable handling on slippery surfaces under heavy SUV loads.
• Aramid Strong Sidewalls — Reinforced sidewalls provide increased impact and puncture resistance, improve load-carrying capacity, and add structural strength for demanding winter driving.
• Silent Touch Tread Block Distribution — Optimized tread block sequencing minimizes road noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride on long winter drives.
• Green Trace Compound — Formulated with natural rubber, recycled steel, and plant-derived oils and pine resins, with more than one-third of materials being renewable or recycled, reducing rolling resistance and environmental impact.
• Directional Tread Pattern — Angled grooves efficiently evacuate water, slush, and snow from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and slushplaning.
• Extra Load (XL) Rating — Rated for increased load capacity to match the demands of full-size SUVs and light trucks.
• M+S and Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified — Meets stringent requirements for severe snow conditions.
• Ice Grip Symbol Certified — Officially approved for icy surface performance.
• Nokian Tyres Pothole Protection Warranty — Backed by manufacturer warranty coverage against pothole damage.
• EV Compatible — Suitable for electric vehicles, with low rolling resistance supporting range efficiency.

The Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV carries on Nokian's legacy as the inventor of the winter tire, delivering best-in-class ice and snow performance with a reduced environmental footprint — making it an ideal choice for drivers who refuse to compromise safety in winter conditions.
