MODERN STUDDING SOLUTION CREATES SUPREME WINTER GRIP

The greatest challenges in wintry weather and hazardous road conditions are braking performance and lack of grip while cornering and changing lanes on snow-packed roads. In the most demanding driving circumstances, winter tires are the first line of defense. The modern studding solution of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 widens the grip limit and gives the driver more time to react before grip disappears and the car loses control. All studs are placed and positioned using state-of-the-art studding technology and the new, star-shaped studs have been rotated 180 degrees on both shoulders of the tire to ensure they meet the road surface at an optimal angle.

ULTIMATE STABILITY AND CONTROLLED HANDLING

While impeccable ice grip is a necessity, stable performance on wet, dry and snow-covered roads is also a key feature in varying winter conditions. One of the most difficult conditions to handle is slush, especially when it appears slightly frozen between lanes on a busy motorway.The tread pattern of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 is heavily siped, which drivers will experience as improved stability and advanced snow grip. The center area of the tire tread is very stiff, which makes the driving response precise on bare roads without compromising winter grip.

SUSTAINABLE SAFETY

While powering through demanding and cold winter days with ease, the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 is designed to perform in a wide temperature range. The new tread compound allows the tire to hold its grip from the mild winter weather to the freezing blizzards. Low rolling resistance generates fuel savings and cuts down on harmful emissions. The resourceful usage of raw materials with a lightly rolling tread pattern makes the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 a more sustainable choice for drivers.

SMOOTH AND COMFORTABLE DRIVING

The new Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 offers a smooth, comfortable and steady soundscape.The optimized stud layout is designed to add driving comfort by cutting disruptive noise waves to minimum. To put it simply, when a stud encounters the road surface, the noise wave moves through the tread and the tire stucture before reaching the vehicle cabin. This new layout absorbs the sound and eliminates the most prominent frequency peaks the human ear finds irritating.

Double Stud technology

Maximum safety on ice and snow

The studs on the center improve acceleration and braking grip. The star-shaped studs on both shoulders of the tire have been rotated by 180 degrees to ensure that the edges of the studs are always in an optimal position when they meet the road surface. This maximizes grip during turning and lane changes and provides excellent side grip and handling properties. Pleasant sound levels and driving comfort are achieved through the optimized stud positioning.

Eco Stud 10

Improved ice grip with less road wear

The Eco Stud 10 concept combines added base layer thickness and a special stud rubber cushion with an air damping technology. The air space in the middle of the bottom flange softens the stud impact and reduces road wear. The service life of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 has been extended by improving the stud retention of the tire. More rubber at the base means the studs are firmly attached and stay in place longer.

Rubber compound

Superior performance in all conditions

Impressive winter grip and low rolling resistance. By using cutting-edge mixing technology and high-performance raw materials, the next-generation winter compound of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 also offers superior winter grip and steady performance in milder weather. New, innovative raw materials such as pine resin and canola oil make up 30% of all materials in the tread compound, while over 50% of all oils used in the tread compound are bio-based. Low rolling resistance generates fuel savings and cuts down on harmful emissions.

Winter Safety Indicator (WSI)

Patented safety

The patented Winter Safety Indicator (WSI) in the tread further improves safety. It displays the remaining tread in millimeters together with a snowflake symbol. The snowflake remains visible until four millimeters of tread remain. Once the snowflake has worn out, purchasing new winter tires is recommended to help ensure driving stays safe.
