Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV

Winter weather often brings lower temperatures, ice, slush, and snow with it, so finding a tire that can stand up to these unforgiving elements becomes incredibly important. Fortunately, winter tires are built to conquer winter weather conditions, and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV does that and more for drivers of CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. The Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV's tread compound is built with flexible materials for consistent grip and performance in low temperatures, and diagonal 3D sipes work with the tire's tread design to improve steering response. Brake Booster technology within the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV's tread blocks allow for shorter braking distances, especially on snowy surfaces, and a low rolling resistance design is meant to reduce fuel consumption while also enhancing ride comfort for drivers and passengers. The Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV can be pinned with studs to further enhance traction and performance, and features a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification thanks to its ability to perform in severe snow conditions.
